Sultan Ahmad Shah Mosque

Sultan Ahmad Shah Mosque
The Sultan Ahmad Shah Mosque is one of the more modern mosques in the country of Malaysia. The Islamic faith spread throughout Malaysia during the 15th century after Parameswara, the founder of the kingdom of Malacca, converted to the religion. The kingdom of Malacca prospered on the Malay Peninsula until the early 16th century; the spread of Islam is one of its most enduring legacies.
