The Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre was originally a worshipping place for the British Garrison's Indian Muslim troops built near the former Whitfield Barracks (now Kowloon Park) in 1896. In 1980, due to the building structure construction works of the MTR, the mosque was demolished and rebuilt in situ. The new mosque was opened in 1984.
The 4-storey Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre, occupying an area of 1 500 sq m, was completed with traditional Islamic design with marble finishing, peach-shaped dome and high minarets at the 4 corners. Being the largest mosque in Hong Kong, it can accommodate a congregation of about 3 500 worshippers.
