Hashim Yahaya Mosque

Masjid Jamek Hashim Yahaya is a Malay mosque at Kampung Dodol, off Jalan Perak. It was founded by Hashim Yahaya, who also put in trust an 8-acre piece of land that today becomes the neigboring Kampung Dodol, which has 107 village houses. The mosque traces its history to the 1872 although the surrounding land have been settled much earlier, possibly before the establishment of George Town as a British trading post, since Tamil Muslims and Acehnese have already founded villages along the banks of Sungai Pinang by the late 18th century.. The land is also called Dato Keramat, as it is the location of the Perak Road Malay Cemetery, where the Muslim ascetic was buried.

Masjid Jamek Hashim Yahaya was rebuilt in 1979 and was officially opened by the then Finance Minister of Malaysia, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, on 30 January, 1981.
