Masjid Muhammadi (GPS: 6.13202, 102.2367) at the centre of Kota Bharu is the State Mosque of Kelantan. It is of of the most prominent landmarks in town. It was built in 1867, during the reign of Sultan Muhammad II (1830-1886). Originally known as the Grand Mosque of Kota Bharu (Masjid Besar Kota Bharu), it was a wooden structure. Renovations carried out in 1922 turned it into the present concrete complex. The newly rebuilt mosque was officially opened by the Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Ismail Petra, on 31 July, 1931. It was from then on called Masjid Muhammadi.

Between then and now, several renovations have been carried out on the mosque, with expansions to enable it to take up to 2,400 worshippers in one prayer session.

From the 1860's to the 1960's, Masjid Muhammadi was also the centre for religious education, with many famous Islamic scholars having taught there.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
