The only mosque in Brickfields.

It started off as a madrasah (school) giving Al-Quran lessons to children.

The mosque was originally a small wooden surau in this same area known back then as Kg. Khadijah.

Most Muslims in Malaysia are followers of Mazhab Syafie but this mosque follows Mazhab Hanafi, a different Islam teaching.

Mazhab Hanafi asar prayers are around 5:30pm, an hour later than Mazhab Syafie which is at around 4:30pm.

Most Mazhab Hanafi followers do not eat crabs.

Goutiyyah means one who is helpful. This mosque was named after a respectable imam, Imam Abdul Qadir Jailani, who loved to help people.

His birthday is celebrated at only 2 mosques in KL, including this mosque!

The imams here are from India!

Main language used is Bahasa Melayu & Tamil

During Friday prayers, imams wear a special robe called “chaya”.
