Summary: This Singapore Muslim travel guide visits Temenggong Mosque and its complex ties to Malaysia. It keeps the source route, mosque setting, heritage notes, and Malay historical context in the same order.
This mosque is called the Temenggong Mosque, and it is not far from the Malay-style mosque I visited last time. This mosque has deep, complex ties to Malaysia.
The most unique thing about this mosque is that even though it is in Singapore, the land and sovereignty still belong to the Sultan of Johor, Malaysia. That is why two flags fly at the entrance of the prayer hall: the Singapore national flag and the flag of the Malaysian state of Johor.
This mosque was reportedly once the audience hall of the Temenggong's palace before it was converted into a mosque.
The mosque is a single-story octagonal building, as you can see in picture six.
There is a large fan in the center that spins constantly to keep the prayer hall just barely cool.
Under the fan is a small incense burner (picture seven). This is my first time seeing an incense burner placed in the middle of a main prayer hall.
The mosque's porch is pure white, and the doors have shutters to help with heat dissipation. Singapore does not need to worry about keeping warm or protecting against the cold at all. That is why the area for performing wudu (small ablution) is outdoors. Of course, the area for performing ghusl (major ablution) is still indoors.
Right next to the mosque is a museum with a sign that says Johor Royal Museum, but unfortunately, it was not open when I visited. I did see the Muslim cemetery behind the mosque, which seems to be on the same plot of land as the museum.
As I mentioned, this mosque is near Sentosa Island, so I headed straight there after leaving. In the next post, I will show you the prayer room on Sentosa Island. view all
