Masjid Al-Jamiul Badawi

Masjid Al-Jamiul Badawi (GPS: 5.51491, 100.42549) is a mosque in Kepala Batas, on the Penang Mainland. The mosque has an orange onion-shaped dome. Its mosque distinctive feature is the four storey minaret which towers over the mosque and surrounding neighbourhood.

Masjid Al-Jamiul Badawi traces its history going back to 1784, when an initial mosque was built on a piece of land near the Lebai Abdul Kader Cemetery. Completed in 1804, it was originally known as Masjid Permatang Bertam. This mosque was used until 1824, when the community had a bigger mosque built to replace it. The second mosque was built on land provided by Tuan Haji Ahmad bin Haji Man, the local imam. This second mosque was the local Muslim place of worship until 1854, when it was again necessary to rebuild.

Plans for the third mosque was approaved by the Masjid Pajak Song Building Committee and submitted to the District Officer. The third mosque in the area was used from then until 1964, when the need arose to again rebuild the mosque. At that time, the first Mufti of Penang was Tuan Guru Haji Abdullah bin Haji Ibrahim, also known as Sheikh Abdullah Fahim while his son Dato' Haji Ahmad Badawi was the executive committee member within the Penang State Government. Together with the imam, they put forth plans to build a new mosque on the existing site. The plans received the support of the local community and funding from the Federal Government through the Rural Development Ministry, which approved RM100,000 on top of RM67,000 in donations collected. The old mosque was demolished and the new one completed in 1965. It was officiated by the late Tun Abdul Razak, who was then the Deputy Prime Minister as well as Minister of Rural Development and Defence Minister, on 2 September, 1966. The mosque was named Masjid Jamiul Badawi Kepala Batas in appreciation of the services rendered by Dato' Haji Ahmad Badawi.
