Tempat terakhir dilawati dalam lawatan terbaru saya ke Singapura adalah Masjid Ba'Alawi di Lewis Road.
The last place visited in my latest trip to Singapura was the mosque of Ba'Alawi at Lewis Road.

Dinamakan sempena keluarga Ba'Alawi yang merupakan keturunan Nabi Muhammad SAW yang banyak beranak-pinak di Hadramaut, Yemen iaitu di penghujung Semenanjung Arab ia boleh dikatakan masjid paling terkenal di Singapura selepas Masjid Sultan.

Named after the Ba'Alawi family who are descendants of Prophet Muhammad SAW who thrived and spread in Hadramaut, Yemen which is at the end of the Arab peninsular it could be said to be the most famous mosque in Singapura.

Keluarga Ba'Alawi diketahui banyak berhijrah lalu bertebaran ke serata dunia termasuk ke Singapura. Masjid ini menjadi satu pusat buat mereka.

The Ba'Alawi family are known to have migrated and spread all over the world including to Singapura. This mosque becomes a centre for them.

Masjid ini juga sering dikunjungi orang Islam lain yang mahu mengambil berkat dari anak cucu keturunan Nabi.

This mosque is also often visited by other Muslims who want to take blessings from the descendants of the Prophet.

Masjid ini turut memaparkan beberapa barangan berkaitan sejarah Islam.

This mosque also features a number of items related to the history of Islam.

Difahamkan sesetengah barangan memang dibawa dari Tanah Arab untuk memberikan rasa nostalgia kepada mereka yang berketurunan dari sana.

It is understood some of the items were indeed brought from the Arab lands to give a feeling of nostalgia for those who are descended from there.
