The At-Taqwa Mosque (; ) is a mosque in the Dayuan District of Taoyuan City, Taiwan.
History The mosque development was started by an Indonesian-Taiwanese couple who own an Indonesian shop around the area where most of the Indonesian workers work at the factories or in households. They purchased empty land beside their shop to build a mosque. With the help of funding and lending from various organizations, the mosque was constructed a year later and was officially opened on 9 June 2013. On 24 April 2016, the Taiwan Muslim Association (), abbreviated as TMA, was established and headquartered at the mosque.
Architecture
The mosque is long and wide. The building consists of three storeys, in which the first storey is dedicated for the male prayer hall, the second storey is for the female prayer hall and guest room, and the third floor is for classes and dormitories.
Activities Beside hosting the normal five compulsory daily prayers, the mosque also regularly holds classes, such as Mandarin language. The mosque hosted the branch office of the Zakat foundation Dompet Peduli Ummat Daarut Tauhiid (DPU DT) in early 2017. It is also the headquarters of the Taiwan Muslim Association.
