We shall begin the trail with one of the most significant mosques in Singapore. Situated at the edge of the Toa Payoh North, the huge brown dome and single minaret of Muhajirin Mosque stands out proudly in the neighbourhood. It lays claim to being the first new-generation mosque built through the Mosque Buding Fund (MBF) in the 1970s.
During that time, Muslims were being resettled from their villages into brand-new HDB flats in Toa Payoh. Without a mosque to call their own, the Government then proposed the scheme(MBF) in 1975 to help the community build the mosque in the new housing estate. Contributions from Malay Muslims also helped in the building of the mosque. In fact, the upkeep and maintainance of the mosque today depends solely from such contributions.
