In the early days, the mosque originally built without using a single nail, which was established in the early 16th Century as a shed with palm fronds for a roof, was merely a shelter used to teach Islam and propagate the religion within the community of Kampung Peninjau.

4. the original drum that was used to call people to prayer

Soon after, a “dulang” (tray) laden with food mysteriously appeared, and it was always filled no matter how many worshipers ate from it. After a few years, just as mysteriously, it disappeared, hence, the name “dulang” was adopted by the mosque: Kuala Dulang (Kedulang) Mosque or Masjid Kuala Dulang.
