Have you ever read the history of the Mosques in Singapore? Do you know the first mosque in Singapore? Do you know some of the mosques were built on wakaf land?

 

Let's take a step back in time to look at some history of the mosques in Singapore. Kassim Mosque is well known as one of the oldest and one of the most familiar mosques in Singapore. Besides organizing regular religious classes, courses and activities for our Muslim community, the mosque is also an active and vibrant place for social and development programmes.

A mosque which was originally only a storey high, Masjid Kassim or Kassim Mosque is built on a piece of wakaf land which currently stands at Changi Road and has been around since the early 1920s. The land was given by Ahna Mohamed Kassim Bin Ally Mohamed back in 1921 and given to 4 trustees when he passed on 31st July 1935.

Back then, the mosque could only accomodate around 700 worshippers. Today, the three-storey mosque can hold up to 2,000 worshippers and is connected to Wisma Indah Building, which shelters many Islamic institutions.

 

There are many ways and means when it comes to charity. So let's help us in our various Infaq Projects that we have to offer to you ALL YEAR ROUND! Probably not your money, but your effort in spreading it to others!!
