Islamic Architectural Grandeur

Insider\'s tips
The inspiration for the layers came about through the first mosque built by Nabi Muhammad S.A.W, of which the base represents 'Syariah' (Islamic Law), the first level represents 'Tariqat' (way to be with Allah), the second level represents 'Haqiqat' (the truth of Allah) and the third level represents 'Makrifat' (knowing Allah). The architecture of the mosque is seen through the detached minaret and several smaller domes encircling the main dome with a prayer hall.

The Port of Melaka more >>

Ancient International Port

Insider\'s tips
One of the factors that contributed to the rise of Melaka as an international port was the monsoon winds, which enabled Arab and Indian traders from the west to travel to China in the east and vice versa. Melaka was also naturally sheltered from the fearful monsoons, which made it a strategic and safe setting for a commercial port.

At the height of its maritime hegemony in the 15th and early 16th century, many foreign vessels had called at the Port of Melaka. Melaka was once a grand trading port, affluent and cosmopolitan, filled with sailing ships and bustling with activity. Its port welcomed ships with cargoes of all kinds, cloth, tapestries and spices.
