Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque

Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, commonly known as the Iron Mosque, is located in Presint 3, Putrajaya, Malaysia. Completed in 2009 and inaugurated in June 2010, it is the second principal mosque in Putrajaya after Putra Mosque. Notable for its contemporary design using approximately 6,000 tonnes of architectural steel and glass, it can accommodate up to 20,000 worshippers and overlooks Putrajaya Lake.

Visitors can expect a large contemporary mosque set beside Putrajaya Lake with an open, airy prayer hall constructed from steel, glass and wire mesh without conventional concrete walls. The exterior features minimalist steel latticework, reflective pools and landscaped courtyards. Inside, the main prayer hall is spacious and naturally ventilated. Non-Muslim visitors can view the architecture from designated areas outside prayer times and explore the surrounding precinct with views of the lake and government precinct.

Construction began in April 2004 and was completed in 2009. The mosque was officially inaugurated in June 2010 by Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, after whom it is named. It was built to serve the growing population of Putrajaya and to complement Putra Mosque as the second principal mosque in the federal administrative capital, showcasing modern Malaysian mosque architecture using industrial steel.

Serves as a major place of worship for the Putrajaya community and a landmark of contemporary Islamic architecture in Malaysia. It functions for daily prayers, Friday congregations and Eid prayers, and is a notable example of modern mosque design that integrates traditional Islamic principles with sustainable, open-air concepts.
