Mosques in Malaysia are well known for their beauty and captivating architecture. At the same time, the history of Islamic civilization is closely linked to the mosque, as it is the main centre for spreading the Islamic culture and knowledge everywhere in the world.

While I was writing this paper, I met so many officials of this beautiful Mosque. Officials of the Masjid Wilayah are so helpful and informative as it helped me a lot to collect the information’s about the mosque, some of are namely; Ustaz Zakariah Isa, chief Imam of Masjid Wilayah, Ustaz Abdul Haleem Zakaria, Imam of Masjid Wilayah, Brother Uthman Mustafa, Director of Jakim, Brother Dato Che Mat, Chairman of Jawi, Ustazah Umme Kulsoom Principal of Masjid Wilayah School, Ustazah Fathiyyah binti A.Rahman, Senior Assistant Director. I surprised when I was informed from the officials that, this mosque is not only a Mosque but a complete world of services and facilities under the name of Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, which is busy day and night in building the Malay society. Some facilities are: 1.Friday congregations, 2. Morning speech, Zohor speech, 3. Qur’an class, 4. Fiqh class, 5.Arabic class, 6. Qiyam-ul-Lail, 7. Hospital’s visit program, 8.
