The Muhammadiah Mosque (Malay: Masjid Muhammadiah; Chinese: 穆哈馬迪亞清真寺, romanized: Mùhāmǎdíyà qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in Ipoh, Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia.
The land where the mosque stands used to be the Madrasah Muhammadiah constructed in 1973. In 1978, a small surau was constructed at the area and upgraded to a mosque on 21 December 2007.[1] The planning to establish a new mosque with Chinese architecture style started in 2008. The design of the mosque was finalized and approved in 2009.[1] Construction started on 24 November 2011 and completed in 2013.[2] The building started to be used for daily prayer in August 2013.[3] It was officially opened by Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah on 18 July 2014. It is the second Chinese-style mosque in the country.[4] It was constructed with a cost of MYR4 million with a joint effort from the Ipoh branch of Malaysian Chinese Muslim Association and the committee of the original mosque.[5] In August 2019, the upgrading work for the mosque began with the construction of a hall for a development and education centre.[3]
