Two Centuries in the History of Masjid Sultan covers over two centuries of the mosque's history as a spiritual and cultural landmark in Singapore's Kampong Gelam. The book reveals new insights challenging long-held beliefs, including the discovery that the mosque's origins date back to 1819, initiated by Sultan Hussain Shah before Raffles' financial contribution. It discusses the contributions of royalty, leadership, and community, as well as the mosque's architectural history, leadership dynamics, and the implementation of quality standards. The narrative explores the mosque's role in community development, cultural heritage, and its relationship with Kampong Gelam, featuring reflections from various community voices and scholars.
