Built by a Community,
For a Community
From two neighbourhood mosques serving Sembawang’s Muslim families to a single home for the Ummah at Admiralty Lane.
From Two Mosques to One Home
Assyafaah Mosque was completed in 2004 under the Mosque Building Fund (MBF) scheme, built to serve the social and spiritual needs of the growing Muslim community in Sembawang. But its story begins decades earlier — in two mosques that no longer stand, whose congregations it was built to bring together.
Masjid Jumah Sembawang
Established along Sembawang Road by Indian Muslim migrants who came to work at the Naval Base.
Masjid Naval Base
Built at the junction of Canberra Road and the now-defunct Delhi Road, serving the community for decades.
Assyafaah Mosque Opens
Built under the Mosque Building Fund scheme, consolidating both congregations into one home for the Ummah at Admiralty Lane.
Masjid Jumah Sembawang

Redevelopment
Both mosques give way to redevelopment, leaving their congregations in need of a shared home.

A Home For Every Generation
Assyafaah was built to be more than a replacement for what came before it. Serving the Sembawang and Admiralty community, it brings together prayer, learning, and belonging under one roof — from a child’s first Quran lesson to an elder’s quiet moment in the front row.
That same spirit — rooted locally, open to every background — carries forward the purpose both Masjid Jumah Sembawang and Masjid Naval Base were built for.
