The less developed rural site is surrounded by rich flora and fauna that blocked off the hustles and bustles of city life; a quiet and peaceful setting located at 411B Jalan Mashhor, Singapore, for one to find solace and come close with nature. {{Content}}History{{multiple image| align = center | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 650 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = 1973 | image1 = | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = Mosque Ground Breaking With Mr Syed Ibrahim | image2 = | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = Mosque Management Board 1973 | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }} The late Hj Buang and Ustaz Ahmad Dzaf were the founders of Masjid Omar Salmah. They led a team of villagers and met up with the Honorable Consulate of Saudi Arabia, Singapore, to discuss the details for the construction of the Mosque. A benevolent person from the committee, Syed Ibrahim Alsagoff, donated the cost of construction which estimated around $5o, ooo. As a form of gratitude and respect, the mosque was named from a combination of Mr Syed lbrahim Alsagoff late parents: Syed Omar and Sharifah Salmah. [2]1974With increasing numbers of congregators, Masjid Omar Salmah had gone through multiple upgrading works. The earliest work on the mosque started in the early 80’s conducted by the late Hj Mohd bin Jan which focused on expanding the external area and surroundings. Some trees were felled or relocated further away from the building vicinity to create space for future developments of the mosque.[2] 1980sThe front of the mosque is redesigned with pointed arches, a product of Islamic architecture. The purpose of an arch is to distribute the weight of a ceiling or superstructure outwards, rather than straight down. This lets builders rely on fewer supports like columns or walls, and allows for more spacious interiors. [3] This structural 'foundation' allows for future extension plans of the mosque. 1990-2000sBesides repainting efforts, the left side of the mosque, Annex A, seems to be undergoing further improvements as congregators increased over the years. Extension and major repairs to the roof was carried out by the management committee.[2] 2012The most recent work started in June 2012, to improve facilities like the toilet and the relocation the ablution area[2] to its current position due to PUB regulations. The ablution or washing up area had to be shifted from the side entrance of the mosque to the front of the toilet. The dome was painted gold and Annex A was fenced up with concrete. {{multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 1155 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = Historical progression | image1 = | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = 1973 | image2 = | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = 1974 | image3 = | alt3 = | link3 = | thumbtime3 = | caption3 = 1980 | image4 = | alt4 = | link4 = | thumbtime4 = | caption4 = 1990 | image5 = | alt5 = | link5 = | thumbtime5 = | caption5 = 2000 | image6 = | alt6 = | link6 = | thumbtime6 = | caption6 = 2010|centre | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }}{{multiple image | align = left | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 465 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = N-S Facade | image1 = Masjid_Omar_Salmah_north_facade.jpg | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = north | image2 = Masjid_Omar_Salmah_south_facade.jpg | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = south | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }}{{multiple image | align = right | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 642 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = E-W Facade | image1 = Masjid_Omar_Salmah_east_facade.jpg | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = east | image2 = Masjid_Omar_Salmah_west_facade.jpg | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = west | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }} Architecture{{multiple image| align = right | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 600 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = Veranda, communal area | image1 = Masjid Omar Salmah roof extensions.jpg | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = roof overhang | image2 = Masjid Omar Salmah floor extension and temp roof.jpg | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = concrete floor extension and temporary roof | image3 = Windows_of_Masjid_Omar_Salmah_.jpg | alt3 = | link3 = | thumbtime3 = | caption3 = windows and vents | image4 = Masjid Omar Salmah common area.jpg | alt4 = | link4 = | thumbtime4 = | caption4 = meeting area | image5 = Masjid Omar Salmah ablution and toilet.jpg | alt5 = | link5 = | thumbtime5 = | caption5 = ablution and toilet | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }}{{multiple image | align = right | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 600 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = Main prayer hall | image1 = Masjid Omar Salmah pointed arches.jpg | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = facade | image2 = Masjid Omar Salmah entrance corridor.jpg | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = entrance corridor | image3 = Masjid Omar Salmah prayer room entrance.jpg | alt3 = | link3 = | thumbtime3 = | caption3 = entrance | image4 = | alt4 = | link4 = | thumbtime4 = | caption4 = interior | image5 = Masjid Omar Salmah handcrafted altar.jpg | alt5 = | link5 = | thumbtime5 = | caption5 = handcrafted altar | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }}{{multiple image | align = right | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 360 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = Annex A | image1 = Masjid Omar Salmah Annex A.jpg | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = entrance | image2 = Masjid Omar Salmah Annex A outdoor.jpg | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = exterior | image3 = Masjid Omar Salmah Annex A detail.jpg | alt3 = | link3 = | thumbtime3 = | caption3 = detail | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }} Islamic architectureThe Kampung Mosque is also integrated with unmistakable Islamic architectural elements such as the dome and pointed arches. The three pointed arches greet visitors at the entrance and forms the corridor towards the main prayer hall. The main prayer hall has no furniture and is fully carpeted to maximize space for worshipers. Only four thin columns support the center of the roof where the dome sat. The altar at the front of the hall was delicately handcrafted by the villagers in the past and preserved till today. The ritual purification or ablution area used to be directly in front of the corridor to the main prayer hall but it was relocated to the front of the toilet due to PUB regulations. Post and beam structureMasjid Omar Salmah construction implemented the post and beam structure with timber as the construction material as it is readily available in a rural setting which resulted in a localized, vernacular aesthetic for the mosque. These traditional architectural elements invokes the nostalgic ambience of a rural setting that is rare in urbanized Singapore. The mosque adopts a humble single storey design with a traditional atap roof, blending into nature and landscape. VentilationDue to the demands of plenty ventilation for buildings in Singapore's hot-humid climate, the master builder installed perforated building elements such as perforated floors, perforated walls, windows and ventilated panels. These perforations and openings help facilitate and enhance cross ventilation in the direction of the N-S winds within the building. Overhanging roofThe design element of an overhanging roof around the building is important in tropical country as shields the building from rainwater and sun rays that will enter through the openings. It helps to keep the interior dry and cool.[4] While the mosque is adorned with cultural and local architectural elements, SCDF had previously identified the mosque as a fire hazard due to the use of highly flammable timber. The use of traditional timber and its construction methods disregarded standard safety regulations set by the SCDF today thus the mosque was instructed to change the construction material to a fireproof one. To preserve the structural and material integrity of the mosque, the volunteers had to come up with a fire safety plan for approval by the SCDF which thankfully, they succeeded. They suggested installing water sprinklers at intervals all around the mosque.

VerandaThe veranda or common area on the right is used for communal activities such as eating and chit- chat. It is a relaxing place to chill, study or read a book while enjoying the views of nature. The temporary roof structure demarcates a concrete floor extension of the mosque done in the 2000s to increase the veranda capacity. Main prayer hallThe center is the main prayer hall with an alter that was handcrafted by Kampong Jiantai villagers in the past and preserved till today. Annex AOn the left is Annex A which is used mainly for conducting youth classes. On days that there are no programs during the day or night, it becomes a resting space for visitors. DemographicsThe construction of Masjid Omar Salmah facilitated the increased Jemaah usage. Since its construction, the mosque is mostly used by villagers of Kampong Jiantai until most of them are moved out for redevelopment of the the village surrounding area. Today, Masjid Omar Salmah continues to be the focal point for Muslims working within the Thomson area and beyond to congregate even after the resettlement of the villagers of Kampong Jiantai in the early 80’s. They also get visitors from their new neighbours of expats in private residentials. The former residents of Kampong Jiantai and those seeking solace from the bustling city life continue to return to the mosque. Apart from seeking solace and tranquility, Masjid Omar Salmah remains the choice of congregators for Friday and Hari Raya prayers. The mosque accommodates up to 500 congregators and is still growing as it maintains a strong following of congregators from retirees and working-class people.[2] Efforts to date{{multiple image| align = right | direction = horizontal | background color = | total_width = 500 | caption_align = center | header_background = | header_align = center | header = Urbanization | image1 = | alt1 = | link1 = | thumbtime1 = | caption1 = urban context | image2 = | alt2 = | link2 = | thumbtime2 = | caption2 = jln Mashor | footer_background = | footer_align = | footer = }} Masjid Omar Salmah is under TOL[5] and like more mosques in Singapore, they are self-sustained with collections of around $1.6k - $1.9k per week. Furthermore, the mosque received a lot of support from volunteers such as donations by these individuals to help to pay some bills and mosque expenses. The lease end is projected between 2024 and 2025 where the mosque would be scheduled for redevelopment. Currently, volunteers are appealing to the Government to make Masjid Omar Salmah a heritage mosque. References1. ^"Masjid Omar Salmah – Since 1973........and Growing." Masjid Omar Salmah.
