Masjid Omar Salmah

Unclaimed

Masjid Omar Salam in the centre of nature. Which is bit away from concrete jungle. In the tiny country this Masjid surrounded by nature. You can come this place any time you can find peace and tranquility in this Masjid. This place always quiet in all time. Only I don’t like when people smoke under the Masjid premises, i hope will refrain to smoke. I recommend people to go this mosque ? and enjoy the nature and peace and connect with Allah through prayers. This Masjid is one one of them in my favourite list.

Masjid Omar Salmah, which can have up to 300 worshippers, was introduced in 1973 on raised grounds encompassed by conceal trees in Kampong Jantai. Due to expanded Jemaah utilization of a particularly old Kampung Jantai Surau, Masjid Omar Salmah was worked to supplant it. It was built with financial assistance from Syed Ibrahim bin Omar Alsagoff, a leading member of the Alsagoff family. Syed Ibrahim's parents, Syed Omar and Salmah, were the inspiration for the mosque's name. The mosque used to serve the local villagers and staff, as well as the nearby Kampong Nekat on Onraet Road. At one look, it resembled some other kampung house which is gradually turning into an uncommon sight in a city of substantial wilderness – a one-story building with a zinc rooftop – alongside its area simply inverse the National Equestrian Center close to the Caldecott Hill, radiates a wonderfully serene provincial energy that is immediately inviting to all guests. Today, Masjid Omar Salmah keeps on being the point of convergence for most Muslims working inside the Thomson territory to gather even after the resettlement of the residents of Kampung Jantai in the early 1980s. In any case, its principle guests and darlings are its more established ones, the ones who used to live in the Kampung and miss it as it were. Because of its area, and the superb land it sits upon, Masjid Omar Salmah has been as often as possible compromised and threatened with the possibility of demolition. The mosque's property is possessed by the public authority, it was not purchased by the Arab merchant who raised the mosque, the public authority could hold onto the land, in spite of the fact that there are presently no designs to foster the land. The mosque, which still runs under a Temporary Occupation License, continues today thanks to liberal gifts of charitable donors and a team of unpaid volunteers.

One of the last few mosques in Singapore that predates independence. The kampong atmosphere surrounded by the equastrian facilities brings back nostalgia of pre millennia years. Its being refurbished currently, in preparation for Ramadhan

This old-generation mosque was built in 1973 and is situated in a rather isolated area of Central Singapore, near Mount Pleasant Road. Syed Ibrahim bin Omar Alsagoff, a prominent member of the Alsagoff family, financially supported its construction and named the mosque after his parents, Syed Omar and Salmah. It can accommodate up to 300 worshippers.
