In the age of Internet trolls and keyboard warriors, it’s more important than ever for interfaith harmony to exist in a multiracial country like Malaysia. That’s something that this beautiful mosque in the heart of Kuala Lumpur aspires to do.

Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan (also known as Masjid Wilayah for short, or the Federal Territory Mosque) conducts free tours that provide visitors a personalised and intimate glimpse into the beauty of Islam. More than just a serene venue for worship, the mosque also acts as a place for people from all backgrounds to come and learn about the various aspects of a Muslim’s prayer process.
