- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Join me on an incredible cultural adventure as I take my American friends to the breathtaking National Mosque of Malaysia! 🌍 In this vlog, we delve into the rich history, stunning architecture, and serene atmosphere of one of Malaysia's most iconic landmarks.
👫 Watch as my friends experience the beauty of Islamic art and design, and learn about the significance of the National Mosque in Malaysia's cultural tapestry. The mosque, officially known as Masjid Negara, was inaugurated in 1965 and stands as a symbol of the country's commitment to Islam. Its modernist design incorporates traditional Islamic elements, creating a harmonious blend of the old and the new.
🕌 Explore the intricate details of the mosque's interior, adorned with beautiful calligraphy, geometric patterns, and symbolic motifs. Learn about the importance of the 73-meter-high minaret and the unique umbrella-like roof, which symbolizes the aspirations of an independent nation.
🤝 As we wander through the expansive courtyard, you'll witness the serene beauty of the reflecting pools and the lush garden, creating a peaceful oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur. The mosque can accommodate up to 15,000 worshippers and is not only a place of prayer but also a cultural hub that welcomes visitors from all walks of life.

@@WhereisBradmy pleasure to show you bro!
Another masjid...masjid wilayah Persekutuan..at jalan duta
Your answer may not be perfect, but your friend gets the image.
Solo.....you should be made an official tourist ambassador for Malaysia
Haha, that would be awesome 😁
definitely!!!
It was my idea first 😂@@TravelingSoloLogs
Great video.as a Malaysian from east Malaysia Miri,I never been to national mosque.hope after my retirement will pray and visit Masjid Negara.InsyaAllah
@@TravelingSoloLogsreally proud of you...may Allah swt gives them tauhid and hidayah
Masya Allah! You were explaining Islam very well to Chris and Brad👍. May Allah grants them hidayah.. aameen🤲
Allahumma aamiin
Ameen
Thank you 😊
Aamiin....
Is solo a Muslim?
Great one. Thanks solo for being unofficial ambassador to Malaysia and muslim at the same time.
Thank you so much! I do my best 😃
MashaaAllah Alhamdulillah thanks Mr Solo for showing the peace in Islam. May Allah grant hidayah to Chris & Brad. Love & Peace from Malaysia.
Allahumma aamiin
Thank you so much! InshaAllah all is well with you 😃
ameen
I appreciate the tour bro, it was nice to learn more about Islam and of course visit this beautiful place of worship! Much Love bro!
My, please bro! I appreciate you coming and exploring with us 😁
I appreciate your curiosity, learning something new
Done subscribed to Chris. Terima kasih Chris... ❤
I always see you as a Muslim Guy Chris. Consider deep learning about Islam because your character and attitude are quite similar to the Islamic principles.
The Islamic Museum is a lovely place to visit.
I still need to visit that 😁
Yes! I'm Malaysian but I found some quiet time at the museum. Already gone there more than 3 times.
National Mosque is closed to visitors during praying hours. But there are 2 mosques which you could enter and watch prayers which are Masjid Wilayah and Masjid Putra.
Some additional points
1. The extended part of the mosque (linked by a bridge) is actually a masoleum, reserved to rulers or prime ministers of the country.
2. The old building across the road is main railway station built by the british (they needed trains to transport tins and rubber etc back to the UK. The rails connect direct to the port). The KL Sentral railway hub is less than a mile away.
3. The fountains in the mosque was design to aid with cooling around the area since in 1960s airconditioning system was not available yet, or as wide.
Thanks for the info 😃
Masjid Putra putrajaya is another one touristic mosque.
Pink floating mosque 25km south to KL or putrajaya station by ERL /MRT putrajaya line. Also there's grand Iron Mosque
thanks @solo...you represent not only for Malaysia but entire Muslim..may Allah bless you. Chriss n brad.. thanks for ur understanding about Islam...
My pleasure to show 😁
Saya suka video awak Solo.
👍
Chris arabic pronunciation is so on point. 😂😂
Haha yeah 😁
Solo's knowledge about Makaysia and it's culture is pretty impressive!😍❤
Thank you 😊
Beautiful tour of the National Mosque! So interesting and educational about Islam as well. It is such a nice thing to see so many cultures visiting the Mosque and living in peaceful coexistence in Malaysia especially in this day and age with so much war over religion and clash of cultures.
Yes, it is always good to understand each other and be peaceful 😊
For me as a local people the best mosque is tuanku mizan zainal abidin masjid or we called “Masjid Besi” in putrajaya.It is so beatiful
Nice got to see that as well 😁
yes agree wth you
Chris has a good knowledge about kiblah. Impressive!
If they are interested, they can go to Masjid Wilayah. They have tour guides there
Nice ! 😃
Recommend visiting the pink mosque (Masjid Putra) at Putrajaya. Very beautiful especially at night. You guys can go to Putrajaya by train from KLCC.* 👍 to your friends for donating to the mosque.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 😃
The building with the dome is the headquarters of the Malayan Railway. KTM.
Nice, didn't know that
9:29 minaret came from arabic word manarah which means lighthouse. The arabic word also came into malay language as menara which means tower.
Cool didn't know that 😃
It was beautiful ❤ thanks for explaining the beautiful facets of Islam ☪️ ❤️
Thank you 😊
Right Brother ,Islam is the Most beautiful n True Religion 💚❤️
You can also visit the Masjid India (Indian Mosque) located near Masjid Jamek LRT Station…it was built and developed by the Indian Muslim community so its unique on its own way, showcasing the diversity not only in Malaysia but within the religion itself
Great sharing. I enjoyed watching it and loved it as always. Thank you Solo. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
So glad!
Assalamualaikum Solo....!!! Thank you for bringing your friends to the National Mosque... Why don't you bring them visit Putrajaya and visit Putra Mosque also ... I think they will be amazed by it... Plus Putrajaya also have another Mosque they call it "Masjid Besi" where the architecture was made so that the big Mosque doesn't need any air-conditioning inside but still nice cool natural surrounding... You really should take a look
Wasalam, thank you for the info! We will try to go next time 😃
The National Mosque in KL is actually old mosque. The new one is Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan also located in KL & Masjid Putra located in Putrajaya.
Masjid is Mosque.
Cool, got to check it out
Hi Sulaiman.. glad to see you videos of KL. If you want a local to show you around, of get a local perspective/stories, id be glad to show you around
Sounds great! That would be interesting
Then there’s masjid besi or the iron mosque in Putrajaya
Solo...I love your explanations. Well done !! You did your research well.❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Alhamdulillah..thank you Solo bro for the nice tour together with the good explanations about Islam roughly.
Bravo to Chris & Brad ✌️🤠
Solo is the man!!! Fun to hang with and I’m always learning so much from him!
My pleasure 😃
Anytime brother 😁
Thanks Sulayman for the guide... Hope both of them enjoy n learn something new...
P/s : the closed gate area is a patriot mausoleum, mostly for the ex prime minister etc
Oh I see, thanks for the info 😃
I learned a lot of new stuff! Solo is such a great educator
@@WhereisBrad Great, hopefully you will enjoy our Malaysian hospitality + an American tourist guide ;) Can't wait for your new video bro...

@@TravelingSoloLogs
Putrajaya also have second largest Al Quran factory in the world. Its name Kompleks Nasyrul Quran.
Tanda2 akhir zamam, masjid2 dibina dgn besar2, cantik dan megah, didalamnya penuh dgn ukiran.....tp kosong dari hidayah. Terbukti sudah sabda nabi saw.
Welcome back to our country... thanks for sharing this video Solo...enjoy your stay here yea...Ramadan will be coming soon...in March 2024...👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 😃
U r most welcome...say hi to both Chris n Brad...welcome to our country to both of them too 👍👍👍👍👍
What a wonderful exploration in KL. Thank you for this video and thank you for showing the national mosque to your friends.
Our pleasure!
@@TravelingSoloLogs 😀
Masjid Negara is quite a marvel of design considering it break away from the traditional middle eastern typology of domes & arches. The use of folded plate roof over main praying hall is amazing. Open space & natural ventilator planning promote green architecture.
the unfolded umbrella concept dome..
Invite brad n chris to experience iftar with the muslims at one of the mosque....sharing the food...making new friends
That would be awesome
its so nice to see the mosque , I am learning from your videos. Like always thank you :)
So nice of you 😊
Do bring an umbrella when you go out. The National Mosque in Malay is Masjid Negara, not National Negara. The name of the drink is air mineral which means mineral water
Thanks for the info 😃
@@TravelingSoloLogs you're welcome
Its all about instilling, refreshing, cultivating compassion, piety, humility and righteousness
Definitely brother 😁
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
This was so wholesome, beautiful mosque but also the keenness to learn of our religion. I also didnt know that about the bar mitzvah’s, knowledge is power. This should be shown worldwide, if everyone understood and respected one another’s beliefs it would be a beautiful place.
Yes, respect always 😊
Tq for becoming one of Malaysia ambassador for us Malaysian tq. Btw you can buys your friends BAJU MELAYU for raya.
Awesome, I'll try
Do come again & again.. we love ppl who loves Malaysia.. tq for promoting Malaysia & the mosque
My pleasure, please continue your support to the channel it means a lot 😁
Such an amazing experience for your friends.. i love their questions and you managed to answer them beautifully
Glad you enjoyed it! I do my best 😃
Fyi ... So many beautiful and Big mosque in Malaysia like at Putra Jaya Pink Mosque and Masjid Besi, Shah Alam Mosque at Selangor, Unique Mosque at Terengganu and Every state of Malaysia have like Negeri/ State Mosque at Every Main City... Subhanallah Indah nya Malaysia ku...
This place was immaculate! Thanks for the grand tour and all the info! I love learning like this ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure bro! 😃
If you have the time, consider visiting Masjid Sri Sendayan, approximately 60km away from KL. In my opinion, it's the most stunning mosque in Malaysia, resembling the grandeur of the Taj Mahal. Once inside, the ambiance is reminiscent of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, but even more captivating.
U should go Masjid Sendayan in Negeri Sembilan. Beautiful mosque and ma fav mosque. 😄
What a beautiful video. May Allah swt open the hearts of the other two brothers to Islam ameen they already sound humble subanAllah. Ramadan Mubarak to everyone reading this 😊
May Allah swt accept our fasts and duas ameen!
Thank you Ameen!
The islamic museum is one of the best museums I have been. I always bring people visiting from other countries there
In Malaysia Johor State we have a religious school everyday after conventional school. We learn about Islam, Quran, our Prophet, Islamic Histpry, a fpundation of arabic etc.
Being a Muslim from the UK, travelled to over 35 countries including 6 visits to Malaysia, the mosques there are stunning. KL National Mosque is amazing but Putra Mosque (Putrajaya),The Iron Mosque (Putrajaya), Melaka Strait Mosque (Melaka), Wilayat Mosque (KL), Jamek Mosque (KL) and Crystal Mosque (Kuala Terengganu) are definite must-sees
Thanks for the recommendations 😃
The national mosque is near to the Malaysia police HQ, grand botanical garden & KL railway station.
Another idea is to show them the ablution area too & maybe show them how you do it that'd be cool
That's a great idea, hopefully next time 😃
Subhanallah Solo...u made me the local proud by touring Masjid and introduce to your buddies.
I'm glad you like it
The blue architecture above the prayer hall represents the states states in malaysia. All together there are 13 of them.
Masha Allah, great and informative video about Islam and the Mosque, thanks Solo🤲
My pleasure 😃
Malaysia, Singapore & Sri Lanka kiblah is side of kaabah which Hajar al Aswad located. One of part for mustajab do'a
Next early month there'll be a motogp shakedown event. Following with preseason test which open to the public free of charge. You may bring your friends to SIC. Just take Grab from putrajaya MRT station or KLIA train station. After that you can continue visit putrajaya & cyberjaya.
From 6th to 8th February. If you're planning to visit there, it's recommended to bring earplugs
Alhamdulillah, thanks for the tour. I haven't been there myself even tho im a muslim and a malaysian haha
My pleasure to show you 😃
Solo mini Ambassador for Malaysia
Haha 😆😁
Thank you Solo for being our ambassador.
Haha, my pleasure 😃
Did you know,most of the mosque in Malaysia there will be a river or pond under your feet.. That's made the floor cold & if You read 1 Of the Surah in Al Quran,it's built like a heaven, Jannah,a river Flow under your feet..
Solo acting more Malaysian than a Malaysian. I approve it. ❤
Very good explain Islam to Non Muslim friend a litter bit. Alhamdulillah, u make da'wah.❤😂🎉😊
Thank you :)
If you like to see newest mosque go and visit madad centre in Kedah..
I’m visiting Malaysia with my family in July and Inscha Allah will visit the mosques in KL and other cities. We will visit different location for 4 weeks.
Regards from the cold Amsterdam 😅
Sounds great! haha, you will definitely be warm in Malaysia
Hi guys..the 1.35 - the old building that you were pointing at, was once The Malayan Railroad Admin building (KTM-Keretapi Tanah Melayu -1957-1970's)- I guess that was after Malaysia got its Independence ...but way back before that it could be the building of the British-Malaya transport Administrative ...but not sure of that.
You should visit melaka, this year is special year to visit melaka, a lot of excitement and event in melaka
Masjid Jamek in KL & Sultan’s mosque in Shah Alam is recommended
Salam from Malaysia ☺️ hope u guys enjoy your visit ❤
Wasalam, Thank you! 😃

Heyyyy! InshaAllah you are doing fantastic! My pleasure to show you Meliz! What's your favorite Masjid in Malaysia? :)
@@TravelingSoloLogs my favourite? All of them 😃 If I were asked to list out…Masjid Putra, Federal Territory Mosque, Sri Sendayan, Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque, etc 😊
Mosque is Masjid. Small mosque is Surau (prayer hall)
I been to this masjid in year 2000 when i was transferred to kuala lumpur from jb. Since then i never been to this masjid even though my house is located in nilai bcoz to pray we have many other Masjids around our residence.

What stars show the Qibla direction?

Muslim sailors called it al-Qiblah and it is found in the constellation they named al-Rakabah. We know it as the North Star, found in the Little Dipper. Once you do this a few times, it becomes really easy to spot the north star and know the qiblah.12 Oct 2016
qibla
the direction of the Kaaba (the sacred building at Mecca), to which Muslims turn at prayer.
SubhanAllah Alhamdulillah Allahu Akbar. Beautiful place. We appreciate the tour. Much love bro 😊🎉
Thank you 😊
Welcome to Malaysia guys !!
amazing dayyum ❤️🔥
Alhamdulilah....

Beautiful Mashgid and happy you got to show your lovely friends this as well as giving them some history 😇
Glad you enjoyed it
charming - nice, very pleasing Mosque
You all must visit Putrajaya Mosque..Beautiful Mosque n nice view!!
Jawi is based on the Arabic script, consisting of all of the original 31 Arabic letters, and six additional letters constructed to fit the phonemes native to Malay, and an additional phoneme used in foreign loanwords, but not found in Classical Arabic, which are ca (چ), nga (ڠ), pa (ڤ), ga (ݢ), va (ۏ), and nya (ڽ).
Thanks for the info. It looks really beautiful to write
Great explanation.. 'Light' and easy to understand.
Glad you liked it
I think one of you asked if we go to a religious school? in Malaysia Islamic Education is part of the school curriculum and it's compulsory for all muslim students from age 7 to 17. but it only teaches the basics. however we do have full Islamic kindergartens, Islamic public primary & secondary schools, tahfiz schools, Islamic colleges & universities, and also Islamic extra school for kids who attends the regular school at the same time. when I was in primary I did both regular school in the morning & Islamic school after lunch. the Islamic school teaches more in-depth of each aspects of Islam like reading the quran and tajweed (it's like grammar, but for quran), prophet's history, fiqh, arabic, tauhid, khat (Islamic calligraphy) etc. and some kids have a separate quran lessons at night or on the weekends.
Thank you for sharing all the information 🤠
18:18 Chris is a smart guy..he is quick with putting info together and he does his initial research beforehand
Terima kasih, Solo... ❤❤❤
Terbaikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!
