Includes bibliographical references and glossary
The initial idea to produce this monograph, Masjid: Selected Mosques and Musollas in Malaysia, was to produce a simple monograph of about 50 mosques; from the earliest mosque found in Malaysia, the Kampung Laut Mosque to the latest Mosque, the Raja Haji Fisabilillah Mosque in Cyberjaya. The proposed number of mosques to be featured grew to about 80 mosques due to the inclusion of other notable mosques. There was a suggestion to further increase the number to 99 following the 99 names used to describe Allah. Ultimately, that too was scrapped after the compilers discovered that there were some other notable historical mosques that .should be featured, particularly since the materials provided were ready and almost completed
