Anjuman Himayathul Islam (30 August 2012)


Anjuman Himayathul Islam (GPS: 5.41952, 100.33305) which means "association for the service of Islam" in Arabic, is an organization founded by the Pakistani Muslims in George Town, Penang. It traces its establishment to the mother organisation established in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1884.

The Anjuman Himayathul Islam is a body for the Indian Muslims in the late 19th century George Town to provide for the welfare of their Muslim brothers. It is located in a three storey mid-20th century building along Chulia Street. It has a circular minaret from which the calls to prayer can be sounded.

The building replaces an earlier structure on the same spot, where the Indian Muslim community has once owned properties, pockets of which can still be seen as in the Line Clear Nasi Kandar, the Masjid Alimsah Waley and Benggali Mosque on Leith Street.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
