Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre

Harika Bir Cami Olmuş Emeği geçenlerden Allah Razı Olsun !!!

The first mosque in Kowloon was established in 1896 by the Hong Kong Regiment and was originally intended to serve the Indian Muslim troops of the British Army stationed at the nearby Whitfield Barracks, now the site of the adjacent Kowloon Park. It is one of five main mosques and is the largest in Hong Kong. It holds prayers five times daily and can accommodate up to 3,500 people. In the late 1970s, the building suffered structural issues due to the underground construction carried out for the Mass Transit Railway. With compensation provided by MTR Corporation and donations from the local Muslim community, a new mosque was built and opened on 11 May 1984 on the present site on Nathan Road to replace the old one. Currently, this mosque serves Muslims from South Asia and Indonesia. Many of whom live in Tsim Sha Tsui, where ethnic minorities have settled.  It plays an important role as a cultural site for non-Chinese Muslims in Hong Kong. It is an important and must visit landmark of Hong Kong.
