Introduce yourself

I have been a volunteer for more than 40 years and am currently a secretariat member of the Religious Rehabilitation Group, a voluntary organisation that is assisting the Government in the counselling and rehabilitation of detainees and self-radicalised individuals in Singapore since its inception in 2003.

To me, Home is…

a feeling

How does your religion cultivate a sense of community and home?

If we take the etymology of religion to mean bind together with the purpose of building communities and home, then religion is the driving force in forging cohesive societies.

About the Khadijah Mosque

Completed in 1920, the Khadijah Mosque is named after Madam Khadijah Binte Mohamed who made a $50,000 donation to construct the mosque and two shop houses in 1915. The project was completed in March 1920. The religious site can hold up to 700 people and hosts additional facilities such as a library and activity rooms. Housed in this site is also the Religious Rehabilitation Group’s Resource and Counselling Centre which seeks to counter religious extremism in Singapore. The mosque is due to undergo a series of renovations in 2023.
