Singapore Sultan Mosque
The Sultan Mosque was named after the Shah himself, Sultan Hussain.
This worship centre costs 3000 dollars to build and the funds were
donated by the East India Company. The Mosques location was built on
the Sultan's Royal Grounds, and has a unique 3-tiered roof.
The
original building is now one of the annexes of the Sultan Mosque of
today. In 1879, Sultan Alauddin Shah, grandson of Sultan Hussain,
decided to let a Board of Trustees maintain the Mosque. These 5 Muslim
Trustees encouraged and developed expansion of the Sultan Mosque.
Much of the city had seen rapid growth if the Muslim faith and
population in Singapore. Soon the older Mosque began to deteriorate so
the need for renovations and upgrades was necessary. A massive
reconstruction of the Sultan Mosque had been undergone in 1924. The
rebuilding of the Sultan's Mosque was dome on the phases, as not to
disrupt the prayers of the Muslim Believers. In its completion, in
1928, the building costs had reached 200,000. In time the Sultan's
Mosque was declared a historical building, by the Preservation of
Monuments Board.
