Masjid Kampus UGM, Sebuah Hikayat dan Ruang Bagi Perbaikan.

Bernama asli Masjid Jamaah Shalahuddin, namun ia lebih dikenal dengan Masjid Kampus (Maskam) UGM, merujuk pada lokasinya yang berada di tengah-tengah kompleks Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta. Ia dibangun dalam rangka memperingati ulang tahun ke 50 institusi pendidikan tinggi tersebut yang jatuh pada tahun 1999. Tempat ibadah ini sendiri mulai dibangun pada 21 Mei 1998, tepat ketika Presiden Soeharto turun dari jabatannya setelah mendapatkan tekanan hebat dari dalam negeri atas krisis yang melanda Indonesia.
