The Baitul Muslimin Mosque (traditional Chinese: 巴特爾穆斯林清真寺; simplified Chinese: 巴特尔穆斯林清真寺; pinyin: Bātè'ěr Mùsīlín Qīngzhēnsì; Indonesian: Masjid Baitul Muslimin) is a mosque in the Su'ao Township of Yilan County, Taiwan. It was the first mosque in Yilan County.[1]

History

[edit]

The mosque was established at 16 Nan'an Road in 2014 when a group of fishermen from Indonesia working in the area were looking for a place of worship.[2] After learning that the landlord had decided to sell the house where the mosque was located, they moved the mosque to its current location in 2019 with the help of the Chinese Muslim Association.[3]

Activities

[edit]

The mosque regularly holds various Muslim-related activities and festivals. It is also the center of gathering for fishermen working in the nearby ports, such as the Nanfang'ao Fishing Port.[4][5] The mosque is also the center for information and complaint center for the migrant workers from Indonesia.[6]

Transportation

[edit]

The mosque is within walking distance southeast of Su'ao Station of Taiwan Railways.
