Nestled in the heart of Geylang, Khadijah Mosque stands as a testament to a remarkable woman’s generosity. In 1915, Madam Khadijah Binte Mohamed made a substantial donation of $50,000 to begin the construction of Khadijah Mosque. Sadly, she passed away four years before its completion in 1920. Khadijah Mosque’s architecture draws inspiration from the Nagore Shrine in Ajmeere, India, lending it a unique character. Today, as you stand before Khadijah Mosque, take a moment to appreciate the blend of Indian and Islamic architectural styles. The mosque is now a gazetted conservation site, protected by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). This designation ensures its preservation for generations to come. In 2003, a new chapter unfolded with the opening of the Auditorium Building by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. This modern addition complements the historic mosque beautifully. The second floor of this building houses the Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG), showcasing the mosque’s commitment to community support. Khadijah Mosque continues to serve as a vital hub for worship and community activities. It offers computer classes, training programs, youth initiatives, and even tutoring services. It’s a place where history and modernity intertwine, creating a vibrant tapestry of faith and community spirit.
