Masjid Jamek Muhammadi, Kota Bharu( Kelantan)
Masjid Jamek Muhammadi, one of Kelantan’ s most prominent mosques, traces its origins to 1867 when a wooden structure first stood on the site. Rebuilt in concrete in 1922 and officially opened in 1931, it was later renamed in honour of Sultan Muhammad’ s ancestor. Its architecture blends traditional Islamic elements with British colonial influences, evident in the ornamental columns that frame both the exterior and interior. In 2024, the mosque’ s name was updated to Masjid Jamek Muhammadi by royal consent, reaffirming its historical and cultural significance. As a house of worship and symbol of Kota Bharu’ s Islamic heritage, it continues to welcome worshippers and visitors alike.

Masjid Zahir, Alor Setar( Kedah)
Masjid Zahir, completed in 1912, is one of Kedah ' s most celebrated landmarks and a shining example of Mughal and Moorish-inspired architecture. Located within the historic Medan Bandar complex in Alor Setar, it stands close to the Pelamin Palace and Balai Besar, reflecting its strong ties to Kedah ' s Islamic monarchy. The mosque is well-adapted to the tropical climate, featuring shaded overhangs and ventilated openings that provide a comfortable environment. Notable features include its multiple mihrabs and a royal dining hall. A major renovation in 2003 expanded its layout while preserving the majestic bulbous dome and the diverse column forms that heighten its cultural significance.
