The Little House (Montessori)
Listening to a talk about Sultan Mosque.
We learnt that the mosque was first built in 1824. Back then, it was only a three-tiered mosque.
As years passed, the Muslim community in Singapore grew. This called for the need for the expansion the mosque which was completed in 1928.
The community would donate to the mosque for its expansion. Families that could not provide in monetary terms would donate empty soy sauce bottles. The bottles are now being used as decoration at the base of the golden domes of the mosque.

Inside the mosque, the children sitting on the soft carpet from Saudi Arabia.
The carpet in the mosque has lines to encourage worshippers to pray together in neat rows so that they can fully utilise the space and more worshippers are able to be in the same hall.
There are also Arabic writings on the lights in the mosque.
TV screens in the mosque show the translation of prayers being read in Arabic.
