Mosques

Kota Bharu, the cultural heart of Kelantan, is home to a strong Islamic presence reflected in its many mosques and prayer rooms. Based on available mapped records, at least 11 prayer places are listed within a 50 km radius of the city centre. These include well-known mosques such as Masjid Nizamuddin on Jalan Kuala Krai, Al-Taqwa Mosque in Taman Uda Murni, and An Nur Mosque in Taman Kota Kubang Labu. The data shows that prayer places are spread across several districts and neighbourhoods, making it convenient for Muslims living in or visiting the city to find a place for worship.

Within Kota Bharu itself, listed mosques are found in areas like Taman Uda Murni (Al-Taqwa Mosque), Taman Kota Kubang Labu (An Nur Mosque), and along Jalan Kuala Krai near Kedai Mulong (Al-Fattah Mosque Nilam Puri). Further out, prayer places serve communities in Melor (Baba Mama Mosque, Al-Muqarrabin Mosque), Kampung Sokor (Balaisah Ustaz Soh), and even in neighbouring districts such as Machang (Al-Raudah Mosque) and Besut in Terengganu (Al Amin Mosque). This wide coverage indicates that Muslims in Kota Bharu and its surrounding areas have access to prayer facilities in both urban and rural settings.

For new arrivals, students, workers, and travellers, the mapped records provide a useful starting point for locating mosques and prayer rooms. While the list includes several named mosques, it is not exhaustive, and some areas may have additional unlisted prayer spaces. The distances range from about 3 km to nearly 50 km from the city centre, reflecting the spread of the Muslim community across the region. Whether you are in central Kota Bharu or in outlying areas like Melor or Machang, the available listings help you plan your prayer needs.

Check the address and distance of each mosque before visiting. Some mosques may have specific prayer times or facilities not listed here. Contact information is not provided, so verify details directly with the mosque if needed. The data is based on mapped records and may not include all prayer places in the area.
