History

The mosque was constructed between 1989 and 1990. It was officially opened on 13 July 1990 by the ninth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak. The mosque then obtained the state mosque title, replacing the former state mosque at Tranquerah Mosque.

Architecture

The state mosque follows typical Melakan mosque architecture in the Java-Malay style of the archipelago. The interior of the mosque also shows native influence and local Melaka Malay architecture. Aziz Tapa is one of the backpine who did the architecture on the mosque. The mosque has a lecture hall, auditorium, offices, a cafe and a museum. The mosque can accommodate 12,000 worshippers.[1]
