About Us

Hasanah Mosque was built by Jurong Town Corporation at the present location in 1971 in replace of several mosques and surau that were acquired from 9 Southern Islands by Singapore Government for the Industrialization and Economic development.

In 1987, Hasanah Mosque Management Board with the support of the Muslim Community in Teban and Pandan Gardens appeal to MUIS to rebuilt this mosque which look archaic compared to the extensive development of Housing Development Board Flats around the vicinity of the mosque.

MUIS could not support the application because the Mosque Building Fund (MBF) were meant for the development of new mosques only.

An appeal was then made to the Minister-in -charge of Muslim Affairs and with the grace of Allah on 16 April 1988 permission was granted by the Minister for Community Development on condition that MMB have to raise the fund for the project.

On 29 September 1989, after raising S$1,400,000.00 the first foundation was laid denoting the commencement of the rebuilding project.

After more than four years of construction, on December 1993, Temporary Occupation Permit was granted by Building Control Division (BCD) . The project was 2 years over scheduled by unforeseen circumstances and shortage of funds. MUIS and 13 mosques gave moral and material support by extended a loan of S$760,000.00 We were much obliged to the Muslim community for their unrelentless support until we managed to repay the loan.

On 30 March 1993, eve of Hari Raya Idil-Fitri, several classroom on the second storey were on fire unexpectedly. According to the police the fire were caused accidentally by 3 boys under the age of 12 years old.

The damaged was quite extensive and it cost us S$350,000.00 to repair it.

MMB were facing multifaceted tasks and with perseverance, dedication , team commitment with the support of the Muslim community and with the grace of Allah, Hasanah Mosque was finally officially opened on 19 May 1996. (1 Muharram 1417 H). It cost S$6,000,000.00 and 7 years of fund raising effort.
