As Syakirin Mosque 🇲🇾

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, the As Syakirin Mosque—also fondly called the KLCC Mosque—offers you a serene architectural landmark of Islam set against a rapidly developing capital. You will find this impressive two-storey structure situated right near the Suria KLCC shopping centre and facing the lush KLCC Park, just steps away from the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest twin towers in the world.

Often regarded as the jewel in the park due to its prime setting, the mosque spans an expansive area of 21 hectares. Originally registered in July 1999 as a prayer space for Petronas staff, its capacity was doubled from 6,000 to 12,000 worshippers following a major renovation in 2009.

Administered by the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council, the building features an official name translating to 'the people of the grateful.' When you visit, you can appreciate its peaceful presence in the urban landscape and observe a site that includes a main hall capable of holding 500 people equipped with a full audio system, alongside meeting rooms. It serves as a striking destination where modern city life meets spiritual significance.
