Al-Iman Mosque started operating on 2 May 2003 and was officially opened by Dr Professor Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources & Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs on Sunday 19 September 2004.

Several community outreach efforts were embarked on – to demonstrate care and concern especially for the needy Muslims community; to foster harmonious bond with the non-Muslims and to create effective working relationship with other grassroots organisations in Bukit Panjang, Zhenghua and Cashew.

Al-Iman Mosque serves as a focal point for all Muslims to congregate and practise the teachings of Islam in a peaceful manner. It symbolises the Islamic identity and is a vital role in cultivating people of remarkable qualities and special skills which are beneficial to our community. The Mosque is conscientiously and continuously being developed from merely a place of worship into a dynamic institution in promoting national agendas and social cohesion in a multi racial and religious society of Singapore.

The jewel-shaped dome culminating with star-like apex symbolizes unity and act of transition between Allah and His faithful servants. The multi-painted star tinted glass roof symbolizes openness.

The six minarets symbolizes the six tenets of Iman. One of the tallest minarets, stylized from the concept of a jewel-shaped dome culminating with the star and crescent signifies concentration, openness and victory, as well as sovereignty and divinity. It also provides a high point from which to summon the faithful for congregational prayer and is lighted at night and highlights the elevated crescent and star.
