Nowadays, Islamic tourism has grown rapidly due to the variance of attractions offered, such as Muslim-friendly hospitality, ‘halal’ food restaurants and the unique architecture of the mosques that known as ‘mosque tourism’, which also affects the growth of Islamic tourism in Malaysia. The most successful mosque tourism attraction is National Mosque which located in Kuala Lumpur. The state of Pahang has a great potential in attracting tourist arrival; besides the natural heritage such as National Park, it also has a huge potential in mosque tourism attraction in particularly, Mosque of Sultan Ahmad 1 or popular known as the Pahang State Mosque. However the mosque somehow is lacking in visitors interpretation; the main key to facilitate and attract visitors especially for non-Muslims. Interpretation is needed to educate people that aim to reveal meanings and relationships through the use of original objects; by the first-hand experience and illustrative media, rather than simply communicating factual information. From the interviews and observations conducted by the researchers, these routes are divided into five parts: the interpretation routes, tourist robe, tourist information center, screening room and media publication. These five parts of interpretation should exist to make the Islamic mosque tourism in Pahang State Mosque more attractive. There are nine suggested routes that can be implemented in the mosque. Route 1: The introduction of Sultan Ahmad 1 Mosque and the explanation on how to wear a tourist robe. 2: The purpose and practice of the ablution. 3: The main prayer hall. 4: The explanation on the design of the mosque’s pillars. 5: The male and female prayer hall. 6: The information of mosque’s dome. 7: The information of Imam and ‘mimbar’. 8: The prayer hall view from the upper level. Lastly, 9: The interactive video about the mosque. Some of the interpretations are already applied in the mosque, but somehow it needs to be improved in order to give a better explanation to the visitors in understanding the Islam religion and its culture in Malaysia and indirectly exposing the beauty of Islam.
