Kuala Terengganu (19 February 2011)
Masjid Abidin (GPS: 5.3346, 103.13788) is a beautiful mosque in
Kuala Terengganu. It is a multi-domed structure along Jalan Masjid Abidin. Masjid Abidin is often called Masjid Raya or the Big Mosque. As it is completely painted white, it was also known as the
White Mosque.
Masjid Abidin was built between 1793 and 1808 by the ruler of that time, Sultan Abidin II (1793-1808). Originally, it was just a wooden structure. It was rebuilt in bricks during the reign of Sultan Umar (1839-1876). The mosque was further expanded upon by Tengku Panglima Besar, with the addition of minarets and pillars.
Masjid Abidin underwent restoration in the new millennium, and can now accommodate 2,500 worshippers within a single session.
