Abdul Gaffoor Mosque |
 |
 |
Tucked away from the bustle of Little India, this mosque was
completed in 1910 and recently restored. The main entrance
of this mosque boasts an elaborate pediment, the center of
which is a sundial. The sunburst has 25 rays, decorated with
Arabic calligraphy denoting the names of 25 chosen prophets
and is the only one of its kind in the Islamic world.
Also of particular interest is the framed family tree to the
left of the prayer area which traces the lineage of Muslim
prophets. More details of the mosque can be found on the
information cards inside the mosque or on the Heritage
markers located outside the mosque. |

Visitors are advised to dress conservatively as this is a
