Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque (GPS: 2.91897, 101.68194) is the second principal mosque constructed in Putrajaya after the Putra Mosque. Also known as Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin or the Iron Mosque, it was opened to worshippers on 4 September 2009 by Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The mosque can accommodate 20,000 worshippers and was built at a cost of RM208 million. The main prayer hall houses the Mihrab Wall which directs the worshippers towards the kiblat, or direction of Mecca.
Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque occupies a 4.04 hectare site at Precinct 3, beside Putrajaya Lake, a short distance from the Millennium Monument. Located within the compound is a pedestrian walkway called Kiblat Walk, which connects the mosque to the Putrajaya Corporation. It was constructed by a Malay construction firm, Ahmad Zaki Resources Berhad, and managed by the Islamic Religious Development Department of Malaysia, Jakim.
Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque was constructed to cater to the growing number of Muslim workers in the core island of Putrajaya, which is expected to exceed 28,000.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
