if you are free...

i know this is a little late (i just got home an hour ago) but just in case you are in the area (or even if you aren't but have the time to go)...

there's a syarahan (aka sermon) at MASJID KAMPONG DELTA. that's at Ganges Ave. take bus no. 64 from delta swimming complex (near red hill mrt/mjd jamiyah ar-rabitah). it's a small masjid surrounded by hdb flats. here's a picture taken using my hp camera. ;)

1st XPDC...

woohoo! our first expedition was a great one today. =) we managed to go to 6 masjid in the Northern area of sg. they are:

1. An Nahdhah... located at Bishan St 14, it has a 'modern' feel to it. there's a lift that serves the basement (where the carpark is) thru level 4 (where the rooftop is). they even have graffiti on the wall! coolness! there's also a Harmony Centre but it was closed so we didn't get to see the exhibition in there.

2. Al Muttaqin... located at Ang Mo Kio Central Ave 6. no lift here but there is a badminton court. i think this masjid is rather cosy. my 2nd cousin shot a pix that made it look like a home (with curtains and chandelier). (' ',)

3. Masjid Ahmad Ibrahim... located at Jalan Ulu Seletar has a silver dome that really catches the eye. the prayer hall has airconditioning (but it was not turned on... at least not in the ladies' prayer hall. i'm not sure about the men's prayer hall coz i didn't go in).

4. Darul Makmur... located at Yishun Ave 2. i love the mural they did of a few masjid. i also love the cartoonized people on the a.L.I.V.E noticeboard. ;) my 2nd cuzins even reminisced about their days of attending the weekend madrasah there.

5. Masjid Pertempatan Melayu Sembawang... located at Jalan Mempurong (it's somewhere near Bottle Tree Village) is a small masjid and is very ol' skool. ;) there's a herb garden next to the male toilet/ablution area. i like the concept of trust that the masjid have. there's this fridge well stocked with canned drinks and you just take one and make a dollar donation in the money box near the fridge. cool eh?

6. Assyafaah... located at Admiralty Lane. we had a 'guide' to bring us around the masjid. ;D so it was a rather thorough tour. this masjid has a rather 'futuristic' look. there's also a pond with koi fishes swimming around in it. nice!

we started at about 1030 and ended at around 1550. not too bad eh? next one is schedule on 27th Feb. yeah! looking forward to that.

In the meantime...

i'm really looking forward to 23 Jan 2010! can't wait! oh ya... anyone wants to join us? we've decided to go to An-Nahdhah first. be there at 10am if you want to join us. ;)

anyway, while waiting for 23 Jan 2010, here's a video that my 2nd cuzin found on youtube:

let's go to the masjid! ;)

The journey begins...

this year, my 2nd cuzin and i intend to go around sg snapping photos of masjids. a masjid is the place of worship for muslims. we are required to pray 5 times a day at specified timings and we only pray to one god, Allah.

anyway, we haven't started going around yet. we've set 23rd jan 2010 to be the date of our first assignment. i was at Masjid Darul Ghufran for an event on new year's eve and decided to take some photos of the masjid. here are the shots. njoy!

stay tuned for more pictures of masjids in singapore. will try to include some other info about the masjids in future posts.
