Muslim Cemetery

A series of cemeteries on Wong Nai Chung Road in Happy Valley belong to different religions. Each of them has a chapel for the funeral ceremony. Among them, there was a two-story mosque in the Muslim cemetery, named "Happy Valley Hui church". However, due to the construction of an overpass connecting the Aberdeen Tunnel, the government expropriated part of the land of the cemetery. As a result, the mosque was demolished in 1979, and more than 200 tombs were moved to Cape Collinson.

The late deputy chairman of the Hong Kong Muslim trust general association, Mr. Tuo Weishan, had been running for many times for the relocation of Muslim cemeteries and the demolition of mosques, and had asked the government to allocate land for the reconstruction of mosques. The government said that there is no land and that it can only rebuild in cemeteries, but this will affect more cemeteries. Subsequently, the government gazetted the project, which said: "if there is no objection to the decision within one month, the project will be carried out according to the original plan, and there is no right to raise objection after the deadline." In the end, the authorities agreed to allocate a piece of land in Aiqun road to the foundation to rebuild the mosque.

The original mosque, facing Wong Nai Chung Road, was demolished in early 1979. The new mosque was built on AI Kwan road in September of the same year and opened in 1981. It is named "Ai Kwan mosque and linseed Islamic center" and is managed by the Islamic Federation of Hong Kong. The central building is eight stories high, and the second and third floors are divided into men's and women's worship halls.

Today's Muslim cemetery is slightly smaller than before. The reconstructed gatehouse faces houderry and is designed with Islamic arch. Muslims encourage believers to visit graves, not only to remember the dead, but also to understand the true meaning of life and do more good deeds as soon as possible. However, it is strictly forbidden for mourners to place sacrifices in Muslim cemeteries, as well as all kneeling and bowing ceremonies.

A brief introduction to Muslim cemeteries

There is a high gate building at the entrance of Huijiao cemetery, which reads "Macao Islamic mosque and cemetery", indicating that there is also a mosque in the cemetery to provide pilgrimage for Huijiao. The gatehouse was built on June 27, 1973 by Adam, Mrs.Halima Bisheik.

Other introductions

There are many Islamic believers in China, India, Pakistan and other countries, regardless of nationality, who can be buried here as long as they believe in Islam. There are many trees in the cemetery, among which the famous one is pineapple, and the huge fruit is salivating. The cemetery is surrounded by a wall more than 2 meters high, so it is difficult to see its interior from the side of the road.
