    Mdm Hajjah Fatimah binte Sulaiman was a tradeswoman and philanthropist. She was born in Malacca to a well-known and wealthy trading family. After her first marriage failed, she married a Bugis merchant-prince, Daing Chanda Pulih. Unfortunately her husband died not long after they married. She then took over his business. Mdm Hajjah Fatimah already had several boats of her own, and making good use of her late husband’s extensive network, she expanded the business significantly. In the late 1830s, Hajjah Fatimah built herself a large house in Kampong Glam but, as was common during those times, thieves ransacked her house twice. On the second occasion, they burned it down. Fortunately, she was away at the time and was not harmed. To demonstrate her gratitude to divine providence for having spared her life, Hajjah Fatimah built a mosque, between 1845 and 1846, on the land where her residence once stood. The mosque was eventually named after her - Hajjah Fatimah Mosque. Combining eastern and western design elements, the mosque is known for its unique minaret, which resembles a church spire, and the noticeable tilt of its minaret, which has led some to refer to it as the “leaning tower of Singapore”. The mosque was gazetted as a national monument on 28 June 1973.

    Masya Allah, this is a really beautiful masjid within the Beach Rd vicinity. It is also one of, if not the oldest mosques in Singapore. The interiors are very well-done and have huge influence from periodic infrastructure. The carpeted floors were also very comfortable and overall, I cannot recommend this masjid more.

    Historical building. How it came about was just amazing. The history and the representation of how important Islam is to the development of the Malay Archipelago region. I guess the main religion in South East Asia before the coming of Islam was Hinduism or Buddhism. Nonetheless, it had brought so much change in this region and made it what it is today.

    a very old and time-honoured mosque in the kampong glam district, completed in 1846. somehow the design is a mix of islamic and european styles, very interesting. there are five bays in the facade, and a large dome over the prayer hall. there is a small park outside

    Interesting history of the mosque that was built by the late businesswomen named Hajjah Fatimah. It was told that the minaret were tilted slightly by 6° in 1975 as it was builty on sandy soil. Restoration works was done to ensure it doesn't tilt any further. Famously known as "the leaning tower of Singapore".

    Relatively peaceful Islamic community. Named after an aristocratic Malay lady, Hajjah Fatimah, the mosque was designed in a mix of Islamic and European architectural styles, and completed in 1846. If you are a Muslim visiting SG, never forget to pay a vist and a prayer in this Masjid.

  • 5/5 Chiang J. 1 year ago on Google
    This Mosque is among one of the oldest in Singapore. Although it's less familiar for not inside Arabic district. Given less known to outsider, it's more vintage location to sense authentic Muslim community in Singapore. I'm also impressed by religious Muslim during Ramadan. It's a nice place to visit and isn't that far away from Arabic district. Please go to this place if possible.
