Friday Prayer with His Royal Highness The King of Malaysia


Today I got a very rare opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the King of Malaysia, Tengku Mizan Zainal Abidin ("Yang DiPertuan Agong" as we call it in Malaysia)

I happened to peform the weekly Friday prayer at Masjid Al Najihin in Kuala Lumpur, where His Royal Highness visited today. He would perform Friday prayers at different mosque every week in order to meet the people (or "rakyat") from various locations in the country.

In case you are wondering, in the picture, I am wearing blue shirt and white prayer cap. The King is wearing the Malay traditional costume (with black cap). Long Life to the King! May Allah bless you and protect our wonderful and peaceful country.
