The path towards the mosque crosses a

TUANKU MIZAN ZAINAL skyway known as the Kiblat Walk that
contains landscaping adapted from the ancient
ABIDIN MOSQUE castles of Alhambra. The interior is decorated

(IRON MOSQUE) with Al-Asmaul-Husna calligraphy of the

Thuluth variation. The entrance to the main

prayer hall is adorned with verse 80 of

Sura Al-Isra from the Qur'an.

There is a mihrab wall made of 13-meter-high glass panel

imported from Germany inscribed with two verses from
Sura Al-Baqarah on the right and Sura Ibrahim on the left.

The mihrab wall is designed so that no light will be

reflected, creating an illusion that the verses are floating on air
It was named after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong XIII, Al- Wathiqu
Billah Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Mahmud
Al-Muktafi Billah Shah. It is located in Putrajaya's Precinct 3,
opposite the Palace of Justice. It was officially opened by the
13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on 11
June 2010 and able to cater to approximately 24,000 residents
at one time.

The "Iron Mosque" features a district cooling system, and fans or
an air conditioning system. The mosque employs "architectural
wire mesh" imported from Germany and China, which is also
constructed at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid and the
Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
