Masjid Abidin, Kuala Terengganu

Kuala Terengganu (19 February 2011)


Masjid Abidin (GPS: 5.3346, 103.13788) is a beautiful mosque in Kuala Terengganu. It is a multi-domed structure along Jalan Masjid Abidin. Masjid Abidin is often called Masjid Raya or the Big Mosque. As it is completely painted white, it was also known as the White Mosque. Masjid Abidin was built between 1793 and 1808 by the ruler of that time, Sultan Abidin II (1793-1808). Originally, it was just a wooden structure. It was rebuilt in bricks during the reign of Sultan Umar (1839-1876). The mosque was further expanded upon by Tengku Panglima Besar, with the addition of minarets and pillars.

Masjid Abidin underwent restoration in the new millennium, and can now accommodate 2,500 worshippers within a single session.

About this website

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.
