5th XPDC

we managed to cover 6 masjids this time despite the intermittent downpour. actually we were in the vicinity of the 7th masjid but due to bad traffic condition we decided to cover it on another day. -_-''

1. Al Taqua... located at Jalan Bilal is a pretty cosy masjid. for a small masjid, it is wheelchair accessible and even has a handicap toilet. there's also a fridge with canned drinks. just remember to make a donation if you take one. =)






2. Al Ansar... located at Bedok North Ave 1 is hard to miss with its blue coat of paint. unlike most masjid, the male prayer hall is at level 2 while the female prayer hall is at level 4. there is also a model of Kaabah at level 3 with Lego people. that is a most interesting find! ;)





3. Masjid Alkaff Kampung Melayu... located at Bedok Reservoir Rd. i love the spiral staircase. it has a pictorial history of the masjid lining the wall up the staircase. there is also a reading area with shelves of books at the foot of the staircase.







4. Darul Aman... located at Jalan Eunos has names for different areas/halls in the masjid's vicinity. the names are inspired by key figures in prophet muhammad's (s.a.w) life. there's also a brief story of the person according to sirah rasul. coolness! =)






5. Masjid Mydin... located at Jalan Lapang is a cosy masjid. it blends with the surrounding terrace houses. the area has a certain serenity to it.







6. Masjid Kassim... located at Changi Road. we were warmly received and given a guided tour of the masjid. ladies have to take the lift to the 3rd storey to reach their designated prayer hall.
