Masjid Sultan (Sultan Mosque) in Singapura
Assalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.
Hi.., I'm back again.. ;)
Okay.., Now I would like to talk about Masjid (Mosque). Masjid is a special place for the Muslim. The Muslim utilize this place for worshipping and for studying too. it's called God house. Also when the Muslims do travelling to anywhere, they will try to find the Masjid. Especially popular and or historical Masjid. The same as me too. Alhamdulillah, I'm a Muslim, and when i went to Singapore I wanted to visit and even wanted to performed shalat/worshipping in historical Masjid there. And I found Masjid Sultan.
I searched this Masjid was not alone, I did it with my sister. Actually, she who directed me to the Masjid, and she had some information to get there. Alhamdulillah, we found the Masjid and it was just in time of Dzuhur shalat time. We were so happy and we performed shalat/worshipping there.
The masjid is so beautiful. Before we enter the Masjid, as always, we must take off our shoes or other footwear. And when we entered the Masjid in right and left of the side, we can find some knowledge about Islam. In this floor too as the place of worshipping for the man and for the woman has to go to the 2nd floor to worship.
For the woman who doesn't bring mukena (the clothes for performing shalat), don't need to worry, because they provide it.
For taking the wudhu (before the Muslim perform shalat/ the worship, they must take wudhu), we can take the wudhu on the left side of the Masjid. You can find it when you just enter the gate of the Masjid, on the left side of the Masjid. In this building, you can find the toilet too, besides the place for taking wudhu. And the toilet is so clean and you will find water there...:). It's something that is not easy to find in other toilets in the mall there. For they who cannot enter the Masjid, you can sit in the chairs which are provided in front of the Masjid.
There are many restaurants in the street which are in front of the Masjid and there are souvenir shops too.
The address of the Masjid Sultan Singapura is at No. 3 Muscat Street, Kampung Glam, Singapore.
If you walk straight from the front of Masjid, you will find Bussorah Street. If you walk straight from the front of Masjid and turn left, you will find Baghdad Street. Nearby Baghdad Street, if you see and turn left, you will find Kandahar Street. and Around near this area, you can find Arab Street too.
At that day I and my sister went to Masjid Sultan was from Little India area. So we took MRT from Little India station to Bugis MRT Station and we went to Bugis Junction, then we went out of the mall and went toward Raffles Hospital. Then walked straight along the side of the hospital and we met intersection and there are some of the traffic lights too. Then we crossed it to another side and we crossed again to the straight way and we walked along the sidewalk until we met another traffic jam and we crossed and we saw the Masjid Sultan.
If you confuse how to get the Bugis MRT Station, you don't need to worry, because in every station you can find System Map and the Fares. And if you have a good connection for the internet, you can search for this map on google. So when you are not in MRT Station, so you still can find or predict how to get a place there.
Before you enter the MRT, you must buy a ticket. For the tourists, they can use once a trip card. This can buy in the ticket machine in the MRT Station. It's similar to the ATM machine, but without the cabin. Then we can choose where the place we will go and it will show the fare that we should pay. Then put the money in the money place (coin or banknote, choose one of them. And we can see the place for putting coin and banknote). Then the machine will issue the card and we can take it.
