Masjid Sultan Abdul Samad (KLIA Mosque)

Masjid Sultan Abdul Samad, formerly known as the KLIA Mosque, was developed as the principal mosque serving Kuala Lumpur International Airport and its surrounding communities. Designed by DBA Arkitek, the mosque combines Classical Arab architectural influences with traditional Malay planning principles, creating a distinctive landmark that complements the airport’s modern infrastructure.

Situated on approximately 17.96 acres, the mosque accommodates up to 8,000 worshippers and functions as both an international airport mosque for travellers and a community mosque for residents of KLIA Town Centre and nearby Salak Tinggi. The design emphasises spacious prayer halls, landscaped courtyards, prominent domes, elegant minarets, and welcoming public spaces that enhance the spiritual experience while reflecting Malaysia’s Islamic architectural heritage.

Completed in conjunction with the development of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the mosque remains an iconic religious landmark that showcases timeless architecture, functionality, and cultural identity.
