Etymology
The name of the mosque, Al-Iman, is derived from the Arabic word iman (إِيمَان, ʾīmān) pronounced [ʔiːˈmæːn]. The word Iman is translated as Faith, hence Al-Iman will mean The Faith.[1][2]
History
Masjid Al-Iman was established in 1998 under the third phase of the Mosque Building Fund scheme by the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS).[3] It was the first mosque to be built in the Bukit Panjang neighbourhood.[3] Construction on the mosque officially started in September 2000.[4] The mosque was completed in 2003 and opened on 2 May of that same year. It was then officiated by the Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs, Yaacob Ibrahim, into the MUIS' official mosque list.[5]
