    Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre    
         
   
Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre is one of the principal mosques in Hong Kong.  Located at the corner of Nathan Road and Haiphong Road next to Kowloon Park, the Mosque is currently the largest Islamic house of worship in the city.  The Mosque holds daily prayers and is capable of accommodating up to approximately 2000 people.
   
         
   
The Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre was first established in 1896, on the site where the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station now stands.  It was originally intended to serve the Indian Muslim troops of the British army stationed at nearby Whitfield Barracks, now the site of the adjacent Kowloon Park.  In the late 1970's, the building suffered structural defects due to the underground construction carried out for the Mass Transit Railway.  With the compensation given by Mass Transit Railway Corporation and donations from local and overseas Muslims, a new Mosque was built in 1984 on the present site at 105 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, to replace the old one.
