The Beauty of the Sultan Mosque, Singapore
Singapore Sultan Mosque is located in Kampong Glam.
This mosque became one of the historic buildings, set by the government of
Singapore on 14 March 1975. Therefore, the mosque is open to all tourists who
want to go see the atmosphere inside the mosque but must use decent clothes to
honor worshipers. To the committee has prepared a long coat that must be worn
for female visitors to close the genitals.
The color of
this mosque is yellow. Its color typical Malay kingdom to
dominate the paint around the mosque of Sultan, even though not as bright
yellow Raja Ali Haji Mosque Biting Island. One of the
uniqueness of the golden domes are the ornaments of green glass bottles are
arranged in reverse just below the dome of the mosque, so it appears the back
of the green bottle to form an arrangement like a beautiful glass block. The
bottles were donated by the poor while rebuilding the mosque of Sultan in 1924.
The mosque
was built by Sultan Husayn. Construction funds
come from donations East India Company, donations congregation, as well as from his own palace. The shape
is similar to the Great Mosque of
Demak which still
can be encountered until now. Understandably,
the initial structure of the mosque is produced
by the Javanese, Malay and Bugis who settled in Singapore
to trade. Kampong Glam district was originally indeed the beginning of some ethnic settlements
Indonesian society.

The mosque consists of two large buildings are
expected to accommodate about 5,000 worshipers. When he was not used to pray
that room too often becomes a place of religious events such as lectures, and
learn the Qur’an. Each building is equipped with a clean and comfortable ablution. Besides
the tap water supplied liquid soap for hand washing.
The mosque location is in Kampong Glam Sultan mosque is adjacent to the Malaysian Heritage
Center (sultan's palace) and Mamanda (where to eat sultan). The sultan's tomb is in the right in front
of the mosque. Because it is one of the
attractions, around the Sultan mosque are many shops selling halal food and
souvenir whose price is cheaper.
For halal food around the mosque there are also several typical Indonesian food vendors, cooking fields and other Indonesian cuisine and certainly lawful.
Precisely in front of the mosque there is a subscription Arab Street diner we are singapore zam-zam. Here is the famous briyaninya rice, the portions are plentiful and it fit and are cheap.
Tourism in Singapore is a very serious concern of
government, the architecture of the old town so maintained, so the old building and shophouses which lined up neatly
shaped typical of Europe still maintained neatly. Make a more
complete tour. In addition to Singapore's shopping tour turned out to be a
spiritual tourist destination.
