Design concept[]
Situated in the heartland of Singapore, An-Nahdhah Mosque is a new generation mosque serving both the religious and spiritual needs of the Muslim community as well as providing platform for other social services.
Apart from fulfilling its basic function as a centre for religious practices, the design encompasses and provides for the mosque to perform other pillars of the mosque's activities - Religious Education, Family, Youth and Social Development and as a center for Information Services and Referrals.
The mosque is designed so that most area can be used as extensions to the praying area (e.g. basement, theaterette, multi-purpose room and classrooms).[4]
