Al-Bukhari Masjid
Masjid Albukhary, or Albukhary Mosque, is one of the newest and most
impressive landmarks in Alor Setar, Kedah. It was built by Tan Sri Syed
Mokhtar Albukhary, a local entrepreneur who made it big in the lorry
business. Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar, of Yemeni descent, is the third of seven
siblings born into a poor family so impoverished that their home did
not have a bed, table or chair.
Masjid Albukhary is part of Kompleks Albukhary, a sprawling Islamic
centre which includes a medical centre, a community centre, an
orphanage, a senior citizen academy and a centre for higher learning.
The project is developed by Yayasan Albukhary, or the Albukhary
Foundation. Next to Komplek Albukhary is another project developed by
Yayasan Albukhary, the Souq Albukhary.
