History

The mosque was built under the Phase 4 of the Mosque Building Fund programme to cater to the large demographic of young families in the Buangkok and Sengkang area and cost $10.5 million to build. The mosque's name, given by the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura is derived from the Arabic word, مودة which literally means affectionate. The name was taken from the Quran Surah Ar-Rum verse 21:

And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell In tranquillity with them, and He has put love and Mercy between your (hearts): Verily In that are Signs for those who reflect.

Aside from its numerous family friendly features for the young and the old, it also boasts a number of environmentally friendly features that are energy-conserving. Due to this mosque has attained the Greenmark Certification ( 2009 & 2011) from the Building and Construction Authority.

The open-to-all concept and "Family Friendly" theme proposed by the mosque promises various programmes and facilities to enhance community bonding among the different races and families across the different age groups.

The mosque's capacity is increased to 4,000 worshipers during peak periods.
