The space-age design of old Sultan Ahmad 1 Mosque consisted of a big dome and a rocket-like minaret. It was built in 1962 to replace the old wooden one on Wall Street (now Mahkota Road). The mosque has an elaborate fifty-metre-diameter dome resting on a concrete ring above a curved concrete wall and columns. It was the most prominent geodesic dome house of worship in Pahang. Unfortunately, due to faulty design, this space-age mosque suffered from irreparable leakage during heavy rains. It was finally demolished in 1992 and a more Islamic-looking State Mosque was built in its place with new four minarets, a large dome, and a smaller dome, retaining the same name.
This new building was constructed between 1991 and 1993 by DZJ Architect and Associates.[2] The great-grandson of Sultan Ahmad al-Mu’azzam Shah, Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta’in Billah ibni Almarhum Sultan Abu Bakar Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mu’azzam Shah, accompanied by former Imam at The Great Mosque of Mecca, , officially marked the grand reopening of the Sultan Ahmad 1 Mosque on Friday, 21 October 1994. Tuan Haji Mohd Rizzal Bin Mohd Ali Nafiah is the current Grand Imam of the Sultan Ahmad 1 State Mosque since February 2023 after the former Grand Imam, Dato' Badli Shah Bin Alauddin, became Vice Mufti of Pahang.
