Mosques and Towers in Malaysia

Islam was first introduced to the Malay Peninsula Coast in 674 CE, just over fifty years after the Prophet’s flight from Mecca to Medina, and again by Arab merchants and traveling Sufis in waves throughout the 12th to 15th centuries. Today, over 60% of the population practices Islam, almost 20 million people.

The Petronas Towers are the world’s tallest twin skyscrapers. There is a delightful Italian restaurant at the bottom.
