One of the earliest mosques in China, the Great Mosque of Quanzhou is called many names including Shengyou Mosque (Mosque of the Holy Friend), Qingjing Mosque (Mosque of Purity) and Ashab Mosque (Mosque of the Prophet's Companions). An inscription on the northern wall of its portal dates the mosque to 1009, although most of what remains today dates from the 1310 reconstruction by Ibn Muhammed al-Quds of Shiraz, under Emperor Zhida of the Yuan Dynasty. It is the oldest surviving stone mosque in China, and the only one remaining of the seven historic mosques that once stood in the city of Quanzhou. It is built on Tumen Street abutting the old city wall, at the edge of a large fan-fang, or, foreign quarter. The mosque today consists of a large, partially ruined, rectangular prayer hall beside a grand entry vestibule, with a smaller timber mosque added recently to the northwest of the complex.

The Great Mosque of Guangzhou, known also as Huaisheng Mosque (Memorial of the Holy Prophet) or the Guangta Mosque (Light Tower Mosque), is thought to be the earliest surviving mosque in China and has the earliest freestanding minaret in China.
Manuscripts from 1206 claim that the mosque was built by an uncle of the Prophet, Abi Waqqas, on the first Muslim mission to China in the 630s.
