Masjid Tuan Guru
Jalan Tanjung Tokong Lama, 10470 Penang

Tuan Guru Mosque

Masjid Tuan Guru is a newly expanded mosque in the Malay settlement in Tanjung Tokong. It is located along the old Tanjung Tokong Road, directly opposite Heong Sun See Temple.

Masjid Tuan Guru is said to have been inspired by the influential 19th century religious teacher, Abdul Ghani, who hailed from Madura. In Penang, two mosques were connected to him, Masjid Tuan Guru in Tanjong Tokong, and Masjid Maqbul in Jelutong.

What to see
