MUSLIMS working and living in Putrajaya can now perform their prayers at another awe-inspiring landmark, the newly-opened Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque in Precinct 3.

Named after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, the mosque is expected to be officially opened in September.

In a symbolic but low-key ceremony on Thursday, the mosque was handed over by Perbadanan Putrajaya (PPj), represented by its president, Tan Sri Samsudin Osman, to Islamic Religious Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) director-general Datuk Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abd Aziz.


The ceremony was held at the mosque’s multi-purpose hall.


Pedestrian access: A view of the Kiblat Walk heading towards Perbadanan Putrajaya and the Palace of Justice from the mosque.


Samsudin said the RM208mil mosque catered to 20,000 worshippers and was completed on time.

“We were often asked why build another mosque when the Putra Mosque in Precinct 1 is deemed big enough. We estimate the future working population on the Core Island to number 28,000 so the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque will cater for this,” he said at a press conference.


Impressive entrance: Internal Iwan is the gateway to the main prayer hall within the mosque.

According to Wan Mohamad, 565,408 tourists visited the Putra Mosque last year.

“Besides catering to worshippers, the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque will also draw tourists. Therefore, I urge the mosque management not to run things military-style by restricting access to Muslims alone.

“This amazing mosque has many features. Yes, there are places where non-Muslims are not allowed but at the same time, we can be more welcoming so as to tell others about the religion and answer any queries they may have,” he added.

The entire structure built on 4.04ha comprises the mosque (3.32ha) and the soon-to-be opened Kiblat Walk (0.72ha). Funds from the Eighth Malaysia Plan (RM8) were used for the overall construction, undertaken by KLCC Projeks Bhd.

The main prayer hall houses the Mihrab Wall that directs worshippers towards the “kiblat” (the direction of Mecca). The Mihrab Wall is inscribed with Quranic verses in the Nasakh calligraphic-style.

The khat is inscribed onto the back of the anti-reflective glass, giving a sense of verses floating down from the sky. The Sahn is the overflow prayer area outside the main prayer hall and the entrance to this is via a gateway called the Internal Iwan.

It features stainless steel grilles, based on Islamic motifs and mirrors traditional Islamic architecture in a contemporary manner.
Pedestrian access to the mosque from the Palace of Justice and PPj is provided through the Kiblat Walk. Once opened, it will be dotted with landscaping and stalls selling religious paraphernalia.

dh siap.
bole laa sapa2 nk trawih kt situ...

buat masjid lawa2 tapi ruang utk semayang  kecik utk menampung org nak smayang  ..tu yang terpaksa buat sampai 2-3 masjid..

org nak semayang nak kena tengok rupa masjid jugak ke?

bagi aku masih lagi membazir sebab bina 2 masjid dalam jarak yg tak sampai 5km ..kalau dah boleh rancang bina putrajaya yg besar tu takan laa diorg tak buat bancian populasi org yg akan pergi sembahyang.

betul tu .. dengar2 masjid putra nanti nak buka tuk lawatan ajer

debab_78

korang tak terpikir ke utk jangka panjang...
kat presint 4,5,6 dah nak buka penempatan n beberapa kementerian lagi..
tgh dok bina semua tu
nanti takkan nak harap satu masjid je...
kawasan presint 1,2,3,4,5,6 tu mmg padat dgn kakitangan kerajaan n nanti kat presint 4 tu nak dibina kondominium.....  ditambah lagi dgn kuarters2 kerajaan..

so far skrg ramai staff gomen tpaksa g masjid lain sbb masjid putra dah penuh time jumaat.. ada yg g abu bakar baginda, masjid uniten dll...

fiezza77

bagy je la nama masjid besi tu masjid paklah yang tu kan dari  terengganu..

iscol_klang

penah terawih kat masjid besi ni aritu
terawih 8 rakaat abis pukul 9.20, laju betul imam syria ni
so far ok je, cantik & tenang
konsep transparency, so masjid takde dinding
untung lelaki yg keje kat palace of justice, nak solat jumaat pasni jalan kaki terus je (baru aku tau palace of justice ni mengadap kiblat)

iscol...ko ada matter ke kat palace of justice

lawa masjid ni..beruntung org putrajaya ada 2 masjid cantik..patut salah satu masjid letakla kat area perumahan..

kat cyberjaya takde ke nak wat masjid besar camni?

emkay

masjid yang memang besar..
tp rasanya aspek keselamatan boleh dibaiki lg..antara ruang sembanhyang yang memang terbuka tu dengan kawasan sekeliling yang dijadikan kolam tu langsung xde penghadang..
sape yg tgh blur2/ excited tgk kecantikan masjid ni/ budak2/ org yg sedang berhalusinasi senang2 je boleh masuk dalam kolam ni kalo tak berhati2 sebab aras kolam ni lebih kurang aras lantai jek..memang xperasan kalau baru 1st time dtg..
