Mosques are considered to be highly regarded places specifically allocated for the purpose of worship by followers of the Islamic faith. This particular site functions as a communal area where individuals of the Islamic faith convene to partake in religious practises, such as sermons, assemblies, and other associated occasions. Mosque pulpits in many nations throughout the world display distinctive styles that are shaped by the diverse cultural and ethnic contexts they originate from. Terengganu, a state located in Malaysia, is renowned for its rich assortment of unique and intriguing carving motifs that embellish the pulpits of its mosques. This study concerns the carving motif and underlying meaning of the wooden sculpture that embellishes the pulpit of the Terengganu mosque. Qualitative research is employed as a means to elucidate the responses and acquire precise information. In addition to primary and secondary sources, interviews and observations were employed as supplementary methods to gather information. The study's findings indicate that the pulpit at the Taman Hadhari mosque in Terengganu comprises three distinct sections, each adorned with themes inspired by flora and animals. These intricate carvings aim to communicate a message pertaining to the intrinsic virtues of Malay culture. The aforementioned wooden carvings serve as exemplars of Malay artistry that warrant preservation. The objective of this study is to enhance public knowledge of the significance of safeguarding cultural heritage as a means of sustaining ethnic identity.
