Abdul Gaffoor Mosque
Tucked away from the bustle of Little India
<http://www.visitsingapore.com/publish/stbportal/en/home/what_to_see/ethnic_quarters/little_india.html>,
this mosque was completed in 1910 and recently restored. The main
entrance of this mosque boasts an elaborate pediment, the center of
which is a sundial. The sunburst has 25 rays, decorated with Arabic
calligraphy denoting the names of 25 chosen prophets and is the only one
of its kind in the Islamic world.
Also of particular interest is the framed family tree to the left of the
prayer area which traces the lineage of Muslim prophets. More details of
the mosque can be found on the information cards inside the mosque or on
the Heritage markers located outside the mosque.
