Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique

Did the name Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqi ever cross your path? Right here, before us, stands Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique. This mosque isn’t just a place of worship. It’s a tribute to a man who dedicated his life to spreading Islam. Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique, completed in 1957, stands as a testament to Siddiqi’s influence. The mosque’s construction was a collaborative effort. Islamic activists, including Siddiqi himself, located the land. The land was officially conveyed in 1953 to trustees of the All-Malaya Muslim Missionary Society, now known as JAMIYAH. This society, instrumental in the mosque’s creation, also managed it in its early years. Later, a committee of local residents took over. Today, Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique is under the care of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), with a dedicated Management Board of volunteers overseeing its daily operations. The mosque has seen several upgrades over the years. Its single-story structure, nestled among landed properties and low-rise apartments in the eastern part of Singapore, remains a beacon of faith. If you find yourself near Kembangan MRT station, consider a visit to Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique. It’s more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a living tribute to a remarkable man and his enduring legacy.
