Muhammadiah Mosque

Muhammadiah Mosque is a prayer house with Chinese architectural style in Ipoh, featuring green roofs, red pillars, and a pagoda-shaped minaret. The entrance has a half-moon form that blends Islamic and Chinese elements together.

The building replaced an earlier madrasah from 1973 and was dedicated in 2014 by Perak's Sultan. This construction reflects the evolution of religious facilities in the region across several decades.

The building brings together Islamic faith and Chinese design, creating a space where two traditions meet. Visitors see lotus motifs and red columns throughout, showing how this place holds meaning for the local Chinese Muslim community.

Visitors can explore the building during daytime hours and should wear respectful clothing and check prayer times in advance. Women should bring a headscarf if they plan to enter the prayer hall.

Specific roof components were sourced directly from Longyan in China to preserve the authenticity of the Chinese design. This careful material selection shows how important traditional craftsmanship was to the overall architecture.
