Masjid Sultan Muzaffar Shah

Masjid Sultan Muzaffar Shah, Sungai Petani (23 August, 2015)


Masjid Sultan Muzaffar Shah (GPS: 5.64716, 100.4877) is a mosque in Sungai Petani, Kedah. The mosque is located along Jalan Sungai Layar. Based on its name, the mosque could have been named after one of three past rulers of Kedah, either Sultan Mudzaffar Shah III (1546-1602), Sultan Mudzaffar Shah II (1236-1280) or Sultan Mudzafar Shah I (1136-1179).

The likelihood is that he was named after Sultan Mudzafar Shah I, who was known as Sri Paduka Maharaja Durbar Raja II until his conversion to Islam and adopting the name Mudzafar Shah, whereupon establishing the Sultanate of Kedah which exists till this day.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
