Our Story

Built by showing up, helping out and staying together.

The Friends of Mosque story is told through years of practical service, friendship and shared responsibility.

A simple beginning

Service came first. The brotherhood followed.

FOM began when Bangladeshi migrant workers stepped forward to help Alkaff Upper Serangoon Mosque during Ramadan in 2016. The work was practical: preparing meals, serving congregants and cleaning up afterwards.

Those repeated acts of service created trust, friendship and a volunteer culture that continued beyond Ramadan and eventually extended to other mosques and community organisations.
