Ubudiah Mosque

Ubudiah Mosque is one of Malaysia’s best-known royal mosques. Tourism Malaysia documents its 1913–1917 construction, royal patronage and National Heritage recognition. Tourism Malaysia dates Ubudiah Mosque to 1913–1917 and credits architect Arthur Benison Hubback.

Its golden domes, minarets and Italian marble have made it the best-known religious landmark of the Perak royal town. Tourism Malaysia also states that the mosque is National Heritage under the National Heritage Act 2005, giving the building significance in both active Islamic worship and national architectural conservation.

Royal mosque with a prominent golden dome and extensive imported Italian marble; designed by Arthur Benison Hubback. Declared a National Heritage building under Malaysia’s National Heritage Act 2005. The source presents the mosque as a thanksgiving commission after recovery from illness; this dataset does not recast that historical motivation as a verified miracle.

The building’s primary purpose is Muslim congregational worship. Non-worshipping visitors should follow the mosque’s current guidance on modest clothing and access, avoid prayer periods or restricted areas when requested, and treat tourism as secondary to the religious life of the site.
