Sultan Mosque
Introduction
Sultan Mosque features a golden dome and a grand prayer hall, making it the largest mosque in Singapore. It was built to commemorate the achievements of Sultan Hussein Shah, funded by Sir Stamford Raffles, and designed by renowned architect Denis Santry. The mosque was completed and inaugurated in 1928. Daily prayers are held from sunrise to sunset, with a total of five prayer sessions. Worshippers perform full-body ablutions in the courtyard before entering the prayer hall. Men pray on the ground floor, while women use the second-floor hall. General visitors may enter the mosque premises barefoot, but are not allowed inside the prayer halls. Note: Visitors must wear long pants; those wearing shorts can borrow a green Islamic garment at the entrance. However, the supply is limited, and those without proper attire may be denied entry.
