Hajjah Fatimah Mosque, {CATEGORY}

This quaint mosque owes its existence to Hajjah Fatimah, a Malaccan-born Malay. After her husband, a wealthy Bugis merchant, passed away, she successfully took over his shipping business. After her home was burgled twice, she decided to donate the land and funds for the construction of this mosque in 1846. Today, she lies buried in the grounds of the mosque. The architecture of the Hajjah Fatimah Mosque exhibits some British influences, as is evident from the European Doric pilasters in the minaret. Interestingly, it is regarded as the Leaning Tower of Singapore, due to its gothic-styled spire that tilts at six degrees.

Hajjah Fatimah Mosque, {CATEGORY}

Hajjah Fatimah was a wealthy businesswoman from Melaka and something of a local socialite. She married a Bugis prince from Celebes, and their only child, a daughter, married Syed Ahmed Alsagoff, son of Arab trader and philanthropist Syed Abdul Rahman Alsagoff. Hajjah Fatimah had originally built a home on this site, but after it had been robbed a couple of times and later set fire to, she decided to find a safer home and built a mosque here instead. Inside the high walls of the compound are the prayer hall, an ablution area, gardens and mausoleums, and a few other buildings. You can walk around the main prayer halls to the garden cemeteries, where flat square headstones mark the graves of women and round ones mark the graves of men. Hajjah Fatimah is buried in a private room to the side of the main prayer hall, along with her daughter and son-in-law. The minaret tower in the front was designed by an unknown European architect and could be a copy of the original spire of St. Andrew's Cathedral. The tower leans a little, a fact that's much more noticeable from the inside. On the outside of the tower is a bleeding heart - an unexpected place to find such a downright Christian symbol. It's a great example of what makes this mosque so charming - all the combined influences of Moorish, Chinese, and European architectural styles.
