Abidin Mosque (State Mosque)

Abidin Mosque, also known as Masjid Abidin or the White Mosque, is the old state and royal mosque of Terengganu located in central Kuala Terengganu near Istana Maziah. Originally built of wood in 1793 by Sultan Zainal Abidin II and rebuilt in brick in 1801, it is noted for its distinctive white facade, golden domes and colonial-Moorish architecture. It served as the state mosque until 2008.

Visitors can expect a historic white mosque with golden domes, arched colonnades, and a single minaret set in the city centre near the Terengganu River. The exterior features white walls, decorative arches and a courtyard. Non-Muslim visitors can view the architecture from outside and, with permission, the interior outside prayer times. The surroundings include Istana Maziah and the old town area with markets and waterfront.
