Masjid India Muslim in Klang (CNB 2013) |
The Masjid India Muslim (Indian Muslim Mosque) at Jalan Tengku Kelana, Klang is just a stone's throw from the Sultan Suleiman Building. Its history dates back from 1904, when the site was awarded by Sultan Alaeddin Suleiman Shah to the mosque's founder, R. E. Mohamad Kassim.
An earlier timber building was replaced by a concrete and brick structure and officially opened in 1974. The present day four-storey building built in 2009 is to cater to the growth of the Indian Muslim community in Klang.
The sky was downcast by the time we approached the Masjid (on Saturday, 05/01/13), so I only took a photo while at the traffic light junction before we headed for home. I need to visit at a later time for a better look.
