What you should know about Masjid Al-Istiqamah
The new mosques built within this phase are named after virtuous qualities as a continuation from the first one - Masjid Al-Khair (The Good). The building is located at the corner of Yio Chu Kang Road and Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, with the front entrance at Serangoon North Ave 2, directly facing Blk 139 on the opposite side of the street. Note:In March 2006, as a result of the pre-General Election constituency reshuffle, Masjid Al-Istiqamah was relocated to the Aljunied constituency.
When the plot for the mosque building was purchased on 12 August 1992, the fund raising arm of the JPM (Mosque Building Committee) was not even formed! The estimated amount needed was $700,000 for the basic requirements in the initial stage of building. The mosque lies within the Marine Parade GRC.
Although it is clearly situated in the North-eastern part of the island, Al-Istiqamah Mosque lies within the Marine Parade GRC which covers largely the south-east region… only just. Initially, Muis suggested the name “As-Sobr” (The Patient) for this mosque but after consultation with a few asatizah, the name “Al-Istiqamah” (the Constant) was selected.
Masjid Al Istiqamah is the second mosque to be built under Phase 3 of the Mosque Building Fund Project headed by Muis. As a result of its geographical uniqueness, Sengkang), it is tasked with the responsibility to serve parts of the Northeast (Hougang, for administrative purposes, Central (Ang Mo Kio) and Southeast (Marine Parade) CDC’s. In fact, its fringe location borders 3 CDC’s. So few people came forward to volunteer their services that an advertisement had to be put out in the Berita Harian newspaper.
