Masjid Muhammadiah Mosque takes its name from the original mosque which was founded by the late Abdul Latif Mohd Kassim along with his seven friends in March 1973.
The building was inspired by traditional Chinese architectural designs and culture
Elevated floors, large red pillars and a roof-tower decorated with green Chinese motifs, have all added to the uniqueness of the mosque's structural design and appearance.

"A closer look will reveal that we've slightly altered the designs of the roof giving it a Chinese touch, they usually use the motif of Lotus flowers but in this mosque, we used the national flower Bunga Raya (Hibiscus)."
