The mosque says they are "proud of their place" in Glasgow and that the graffiti "doesn't represent" the city or the country.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers are appealing for information after a place of worship was vandalised.
"On Monday, 27 October, 2025, we received a report of racially aggravated graffiti at a mosque in Adelphi Street, Glasgow.
"The incident happened between 5pm on Sunday, 26 October and 9am on Monday, 27 October.
"Our investigation is ongoing and this is being treated as hate crime."
Chief Inspector Paul Daley said: "I understand this will be deeply upsetting for both the local and Muslim communities in Glasgow and I want to reassure them we take this kind of offending seriously.
"Such vile graffiti is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
"We are carrying out extensive enquiries and I am asking anyone with information about this incident to please contact us.
"You can speak to officers by calling 101 and quoting reference 1222 of 27 October, 2025.
Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
The mosque released a statement yesterday. A Glasgow Central Mosque spokesperson said: "We were deeply upset to find graffiti on the wall of the Mosque today.
"Glasgow Central Mosque has always been proud of its place within civic society here in Glasgow.
"We say “People Make Glasgow”, and Muslims are very much part of that. In business, politics, sport, education, the NHS, and beyond, Scottish Muslims have contributed to and helped shape this city.
"We remain determined to continue bringing light to our city through our many community initiatives that support the most vulnerable and offer hope to those in need.
"We will keep working to ensure Glasgow remains a place where everyone; regardless of faith or background; feels safe, valued, welcome, and at home.
"Acts like this do not represent the values of Glasgow or Scotland.
"Our city is renowned for its warmth, diversity, and sense of community, and it is that spirit which will prevail."
