"The first Masjid Jamek Muar was built between the years 1884 and 1887. In the 1920s, a committee was formed to consider building a new Masjid Jamek for Muar."
The first Masjid Jamek Muar completed construction in 1887. In the 1920s, a committee was formed to consider building a new Masjid Jamek for Muar. Following a bid to raise funds from the public, the committee in charge of building the new mosque successfully raised RM10,000 for the purpose. The committee then put forward the people's aspiration to the Sultan and obtained the royal consent.
In 1925, works to construct Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim began. Five years later, in 1930, the mosque was completed and was officially opened by Johor's Menteri Besar, Dato Mustafa bin Jaafar. Masjid Jamek Sultan Ibrahim is located along Jalan Petri, close to mouth of Muar River.
