Masjid Jamae Chulia

As part of UU Singapore's regular fieldtrips, we have visited the Masjid Jamae(Chulia) built as early as 1826.

The Masjid Jamae Chulia is a mosque and continue to function today addressing the religious and social needs of the Muslim community in Singapore.

The mosque became a national monument on 29 November 1974.

Situated in Chinatown, it becomes an interesting example to showcase the multi racial and multi cultural Singapore right in the heart of Singapore Chinatown.

The Mosque committed has very kindly planed a series of program for the UU visit.

A tour was conducted around the mosque to understand the historical background of the mosque, its founding history as well as introduction to the central ideas of Islam and the way in which it is practiced. This was followed by a  presentation and a Q&A session.

This visit allows us to lean about Islam, the history of this mosque and the ways in which the Mosque and Muslim Singaporeans contribute towards the success of multi racial and multi cultural Singapore and how they continue to practice their faith today.

A big thank you to the Management of Masjid Jamae(Chulia) for their hospitality and their sharing as well as for giving the group an opportunity to learn.
