Taipei Grand Mosque preserves Islamic identity across generations

2026-06-07 01:21

The Taipei Grand Mosque has emerged as a successful model for preserving Islamic identity in Taiwan through a long-term educational program that has been nurturing young Muslims for more than two decades.

The mosque's weekly Islamic school recently celebrated the end of its 2025–2026 academic year, highlighting a unique achievement: many of today's teachers and volunteers were once students in the same classrooms. Their return to serve the next generation reflects the program's success in creating a continuous cycle of learning and community engagement.

The school provides instruction in the Holy Quran, Arabic language, Islamic studies, and moral values, while emphasizing character development, responsibility, and community service.

Supported by teachers and volunteers from diverse backgrounds, including Chinese-speaking Muslims and converts to Islam, the program offers students a rich educational experience that combines faith, identity, and positive engagement with society.

Home to an estimated 300,000 Muslims, Taiwan relies on institutions such as the Taipei Grand Mosque to provide religious, educational, and cultural services. Its experience demonstrates how sustained investment in youth can help preserve Islamic identity and strengthen Muslim communities across generations.
