Masjid Zahir, Kedah Malaysia.
Masjid Zahir is the state mosque of Kedah. It was built in 1912 by Tunku Mahmud, the son of Sultan Tajuddin Mukarram Shah. The mosque was built on the site of the resting place of local warriors who fell in the course of defencing Kedah against the Siamese invasion of 1821.
The design of Masjid Zahir is based on that of Masjid Azizi of Bandar Langkat in northern Sumatra. The mosque has five domes to represent the five tenets of Islam. Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah officiated in the opening of Masjid Zahir on Friday, 15 October, 1912, and acted as Imam for the day, after reading a sermon by Tunku Mahmud. This mosque has been voted the top 10 most beautiful mosques in the world.
