Masjid Ridzuaniah, Kuala Kangsar

Masjid Ridzuaniah, Kuala Kangsar (31 January, 2006)


Masjid Ridzuaniah (GPS: 4.77504, 100.94018), long overshadowed by the immensely famous Ubudiah Mosque, is the biggest mosque in Kuala Kangsar. It was built shortly after the Ubudiah Mosque, in 1915, during the reign of Sultan Idris Murshidul'adzam Shah, the 28th Sultan of Perak (1887-1916). The land, which was endowed by the Sultan for religious purposes, is situated within a stone's throw from the Oldest Rubber Tree in Malaysia.

The cost of construction was borne by the Sultan Idris Shah I Fund, which is managed by the Sultan Idris Religious and Charitable Trust. Ridzuaniah Mosque was officially opened by Sultan Abdul Jalil Karamatullah Shah in October 1916. It consisted of a praying area in the shape of eight squares with a dome in the centre. Since then, it has undergone a few renovations. During the reign of Sultan Iskandar Shah (1918-1938), the praying area was extended to accommodate 600 people and in 1968, during the reign of Sultan Idris Shah II (Marhum Affifullah) (1963-1984), it was extended again, to accommodate 1000 worshippers.

Today, the Ridzuaniah Mosque is used as the District Mosque of Kuala Kangsar.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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