Masjid Kampong Siglap
Construction in Marine

Brief History of MKS.
It was widely believed that the mosque was collectively built by the village folk. Oral history from the old Kampung Siglap villagers mentioned that the mosque had been thrice repaired. It was 27 Ramadan 1320 AH, 28 December 1902 CE. However, which was Sunday, this is certainly not the date Masjid Kampung Siglap was first erected. The earliest documented date was etched on a Quranic Frame which was hung behind the mihrab of the old mosque building. Now that the new building has been built alongside, it is currently being preserved and converted to the Tahfiz Al-Quran Centre of Singapore.
Upon completion, the well which was once used to supply villagers with their daily water needs, now served as an ablution point. Much time, effort and money was dedicated towards this laborious project. They sold their daily catch to raise funds to build the mosque. Most of the villagers were fishermen. The plot of land where the old mosque was built had been bought by the late Mdm Hajijah, mother of the late Mr Daud Bin M. Shah J.P. also known as Tok Teh Daud. The Quranic Frame was apparently put up either during the second or third repair work.
The old mosque building was able to accommodate 400 people. While men toiled away at their workplaces, women and even young ladies were seen carrying sand from the beach to the mosque’s construction site.
During that period, large pots and pans as well as cutlery were made available at the mosque to be utilized by the villagers for any occasion.
Tabuh, Kentung and Beduk (large mosque drums) were made by the villagers themselves and were placed in the mosque as a means to call people for obligatory prayers or announcing special occasions like Eidul Fitr or Eidul Adha.
No one knows exactly when Masjid Kampung Siglap was first built. Its clear water never dried even during long dry spells.
The new Masjid Kampung Siglap was officially opened on Sunday, 3rd Rejab 1413 AH / 27 December 1992 CE. It was.
