In the spirit of reviving the traditional Malay vernacular characteristics and craftsmanship, Masjid Ulul Albab was unveiled as a replacement to the old mosque in the town of Jerteh, Terengganu. Unlike the common postmodern mosque designs in Malaysia, the mosque was built without the use of onion- shaped domes; instead, it was built using Malay traditional carvings and the use of hip roofs of various sizes. Officiated by the Sultan of Terengganu, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin in 2012, the mosque has since become a focal attraction in this area. Surrounded by a police station and many residential houses, the mosque portrays the thriving traditional Malay woodcarving industry that has flourished in the East Coast state of Terengganu, thus keeping alive and promoting the state’s traditional skills.
