Jamia Masjid is a historic place of worship located on Shelley Street in Hong Kong, serving as a central hub for the city's Muslim community. The mosque was rebuilt in 1915 and stands as the oldest among the five principal mosques used for daily prayers in Hong Kong. It is one of several religious institutions that provide spiritual guidance and community services alongside major religious bodies in the region. While Jamia Masjid primarily functions as a place for prayer, other mosques in the city, such as Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre in Wan Chai and the Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre on Nathan Road, offer additional facilities including community halls, libraries, medical clinics, and multiple prayer halls. The Muslim community in Hong Kong numbers approximately 220,000, with more than half being Chinese. These religious centers collectively support the spiritual and social needs of their members within the diverse religious landscape of Hong Kong, which includes Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Judaism.
