The plan to build a mosque in the Yishun housing estate was developed in the 1980s. At the time, the total number of Muslim residents of Yishun stood at 102 individuals.
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.
On Sunday 3 April 1983 at the void deck of Block 111 Yishun Ring Road, a momentous event was held that saw 31 members of the Mosque Building Committee received official Letters of Appointment from the then President of Muis, Tuan Hj Ismail Mohd Said. To prove that the Committee and residents of Yishun were ready to undertake the monumental task of building a mosque, $9,000 was raised during this event.


Some of the events, projects, and initiatives organized by the Committee include:
