History

[edit]

The mosque was built upon the tomb and grave of fallen Kedah warrior that died during theSiamese invasion of Kedah.

The design was inspired by the vision of the late Sultan Muhammad Jiwa Zainal Abidin II, who was in turn inspired by theAzizi Mosque of theLangkat Sultanate inNorth Sumatra.^[1] The state's annualQurʾān-reading competition is held within the premises of the mosque.
