This Mosque was named after the Sultan of Singapore and was built in 1928. With, glass bottles as the pedestal for the walls and the massive gold dome visible from far away, this mosque stands out from the others I visited.
It is open 9am-4pm daily. Leave a Comment

This is an important part of Singapore`s cultural landscape. Singapore`s Islamic population comes from a wide area - this is reflected in the street names around the mosque - Muscat, Kandahar and Baghdad Streets - named after prominent cities in the Islamic World.
The Sultan Mosque is quite welcoming to visitors. This is what you should do if you want to visit:
1. You have to register at the Tourist Register Counter (near the main entrance).
2. You should be appropriately dressed. If you aren`t, there is clothing available at the Tourist Register Counter. You should also remove your shoes and be quiet.
3. Taking photos is ok, but you should check first if you have a video camera.
4. You can`t go into the prayer hall unless you are going to pray.
Admission is as follows:
Friday: 2:30pm till 4pm
All other days: 9am till 1pm and 2pm till 4pm. Leave a Comment Address: 3 Muscat Street, SingaporeDirections: Take exit A at Bugis MRT station. Walk up Victoria Street with Parkview Square on your right. Turn right at Arab Street and after a couple of minutes you will see the mosque on your right.

WHAT IS "HAJJAH"?:
Hajjah refers to a Muslim lady who has completed her pilgrimage to Mecca. The mae version is Haji. You will see many road names which have Haji in them or even shop and food shop names with Haji or Hajjah in them, aruond here.
BACK TO MY ROOTS:
The significance to Hajjah Fatimah Mosque to me is the fact that she's my great-grandmother 7 generations ago. Her daughter, Raja Siti married my great grandfather, Syed Ahmed Alsagoff, an Arab trader who came here in the late 19th century. And Hajjah Fatimah was one of the wealthiest businesswomen in her time, then she married a wealthy Bugis Sultan (King), further increasing her stature.
HISTORY OF THE MOSQUE
The mosque was constructed in 1845 and was gazetted as a National Monument of Singapore in 1973. Before this was a mosque, Hajjah Fatimah used to live here. However 2 major episodes caused her to 'donate' this piece of land in order to carry on God's work (in this case, it refers to ALLAH since she was a Muslim).
1. The house was burgled by thieves
2. It was struck by lightning Leave a Comment

Named after the first Sultan of Singapore, the imposing structure that is the Sultan Mosque was built with a SGD3,000 grant from the East India Company. This is the largest mosque in Singapore and the present building was constructed in 1928. With its massive gold-topped dome and spacious prayer hall, the mosque has one particularly interesting feature--the base of the dome is made up of glass bottles Leave a Comment Address: 3 Muscat StreetPhone: +65 6293 4405Other Contact: mjdsultan@pacific.net.sg

Unfortunately I don't know much about this mosque. It looks very nice and I think it should be visited more. I couldn't see any trace of tourists here. I wasn't sure whether I could actually go inside this mosque. I had never been inside a mosque and thought that not muslims weren't allowed in. However we were allowed, but had to take our shoes of. We could walk everywhere except the place of worship. The mosque is bright coloured and just like everything in Singapore extremely clean and well maintained.

It takes 49 steps to climb up Keramat Habib Noh.
Syed Noh Bin Mohamad Alhabshee came to Singapore from Kedah after the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles. In his lifetime, Habib Noh cared for the young, poor and the destitute. He bought sweets for the children and donate money for the needy. He was loved by all who knew him. Habib Noh, a truly pious person, performed night prayers dutifully.
It is believed that Habib Noh has special and extraordinary abilities to support his missionary life. It is said that he once healed a child with an injured leg, by simply putting his hands over the wound and reciting some prayers. Within moments, the child was able to run again as though nothing had happened to him. Also, that Habib Noh ever walked to Paya Lebar from his home at Telok Blangah under heavy rain to heal a child. When he arrived at the child's home, Habib Noh was not drenched at all.
Habib Noh passed on in the Telok Blangah residence of Johor's Temenggong Abu Bakar at the age of 78 in July 1866. Many people from all walks of life, including foreign Muslim converts and those from the neighbouring islands came to pay their last respect. All horse-drawn carriages in Singapore came to a halt from their daily activities to ferry the old folks, women and children to the funeral for free.
It is said that the coffin containing the body of Habib Noh refused to budge from the ground till someone finally remembered the late Habib Noh's instructions to bury him at Mount Palmer next to the former YMCA, now known as the Bestway Building.
the unmoveable:
Despite bombs mercilessly destroying the vicinity in World War II, Keramat Habib Noh remained miraculously untouched.
Locals also say that the original structure design of the East Coast Park expressway (ECP) cuts through the mausoleum but construction works failed mysteriously. Thus ECP today bends around Keramat Habib Noh. Drivers say a prayer for Habib Noh each time they drive by the bend. Leave a Comment Address: along Palmer RoadDirections: By MRT, nearest to Tanjong Pagar station.
