The plan to build a mosque in Yishun housing estate began in the early 80s. Then, the pioneer Muslim residents of Yishun stood at 102 individuals only. From this small group and with the support of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), a large gathering was organised with the attendance of Muslims residing in nearby areas and villages such as Sembawang Naval Base quarters, Sembawang Malay Settlement (Kampung Tengah, Tanjong Irau, Wak Hassan dan Ahmad Ibrahim), Kampung Mandai Road and Kampung Ayer Panas at Jalan Mata Ayer. The gathering agreed to form a Mosque Building Committee and propose a list of names to Muis for its approval. |

Local Muslim residents from Yishun and the surrounding villages met to form a Mosque Building Committee. With support from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), funds began to be raised for the construction of the mosque. |
