Masjid Sultan Abdullah - Pekan, Pahang

The Sultan Abdullah Mosque (Masjid Sultan Abdullah) was constructed in impressive Moorish style and was the principal mosque in Pekan for performing Friday prayers from 1932 until 1976, when a bigger mosque, Masjid Sultan Ahmad Syah, was built.




Other activities such as ceramahs or lecture and Koranic studies were also conducted at he mosque, which was completed in 1930 after a year of construction. Tengku Abu Bakar Ibni Sultan Abdullah officially opened the mosque on behalf of his father, the sultan, in a historic ceremony in January 1932.


I decided to swing by the royal town of Pekan on the way back from Rompin to Kuantan. I like this little town by the bank of the majestic Sungai Pahang and shot these.
