About Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre Located at 105 Nathan Road, today the Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre, with its distinctive white marble finish, is a major landmark in Tsim Sha Tsui and a true identity of the Muslim Community in Hong Kong. The first Mosque in the Kowloon Peninsula was built in 1896 by the Muslim garrisons of Hong Kong Regiment. It remained a place of worship for the Muslims for over 80 years but in 1976 construction work for a Mass Transit Railway station adjacent to the Masjid caused extensive damage to the building.The old Mosque was demolished in 1980 and the new Mosque was completed in 1984. It can accommodate 3,500 worshippers. Nearly 1 Million people come to the centre every year. In 2004 & 2005 the Kowloon Masjid & Islamic Centre was renovated with a cost of HK$14 million and the facilities were extended. The old ablution area on the mezzanine floor was converted into two new Madrassas for girls and boys. The new madrassas are centrally air-conditioned and can easily accommodate up to 200 students each. On Fridays it is also used for the Jumma prayer congregation.
