The Putra Musjid, the primary Musjid of Putrajaya, Malaysia, stands as a grand edifice renowned for its distinctive rose-colored tiles. This Musjid boasts a capacity to accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers for congregational prayers, retaining its status as one of the nation’s most captivating marvels. Honoring Malaysia’s inaugural Prime Minister, Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, construction of the Musjid commenced in 1997 and concluded two years later.

Situated on Putra Square adjacent to the artificial Putrajaya Lake, the pink-domed Putra Musjid is crafted from rose-hued granite and comprises three primary functional zones: the prayer hall, the sahn (courtyard), and various educational and multipurpose facilities.

The Musjid’s towering 116-meter minaret, influenced by Baghdad’s Sheikh Omar Musjid, stands as a symbol of the Five Pillars of Islam and ranks among the tallest in the region. Its main dome, spanning 36 meters in diameter, graces the roof, complemented by eight smaller domes at the structure’s corners. The design of its basement walls draws inspiration from Morocco’s King Hassan Musjid.

Beyond its role as a spiritual sanctuary, the Putra Musjid extends its services to the community, providing public venues for conferences, seminars, symposiums, conventions, and exhibitions.

As a gesture of respect, visitors from all faiths are required to dress modestly upon entering the Putra Musjid, with women advised to wear a headscarf.
