The Federal Territory Mosque is one of the main mosques in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The mosque is located near the MATRADE complex and government offices at Jalan Duta. This mosque is managed by the Federal Territory Religious Department (JAWI).
The Kuala Lumpur Mosque, or Masjid Wilayah, was constructed between 1998 to 2000. It is situated on a five hectare site near the Government Office Complex along Jalan Duta. The Wilayah Persekutuan (Federal Territory) Mosque was opened to the public on 25 October 2000 and was officiated by the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin ibni Almarhum Syed Putra Jamalulail. It is the 44th mosque built by the Government within the city limits. The mosque can accommodate 17,000 worshippers at any one time.
The mosque’s design is a blend of Ottoman and Malay architectural styles, heavily influenced by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. It has 22 domes made from a composite material of glass fibre fabric mixed with epoxy resin to make it durable and light.
