Our Journey

From one mosque to a wider community.

Milestones that shaped FOM from its first Ramadan service through the years that followed.

2016

FOM is born

Bangladeshi volunteers step forward during Ramadan at Alkaff Upper Serangoon Mosque and become part of the mosque volunteer family.

2016–2019

Sunday service grows

Members gather every Sunday for cleaning and maintenance, while supporting lectures, community programmes and fundraising activities. Service also extends to Kampung Siglap Mosque.

2020–2021

A pause, not an ending

Volunteer activities are suspended during COVID-19 restrictions as members remain in their dormitories. Physical service stops, but the group’s spirit and connection remain.

2022

Service resumes

As restrictions lift, FOM returns to volunteering. Around the same period, Angullia Mosque seeks weekend volunteer support and FOM steps forward again.

2026

Ten years of service

FOM marks its 10th anniversary at Angullia Mosque on 13 September 2026. The celebration brings together volunteers, mosque representatives and community guests, with S M Abdullah Al Mamun, Counsellor (Labour & Welfare) at the Bangladesh High Commission in Singapore, among the guests.

Today

A network of brothers

FOM now has approximately 25 active core members and a wider network of around 200 volunteers organised into teams supporting mosques and community organisations across Singapore.

The road ahead

The journey does not end here.

With Allah’s blessings and the continued support of volunteers and partners, FOM hopes to keep serving the community with sincerity, unity and dedication for many years to come.
