The post blaze footages of Kampung Siglap Mosque are uncannily similar to photos of mosques in war zones- smoke, soot, debris and ashes.

And of course, the enlightening revelation that despite the extensive damage, most of the Qurans were left unscathed is indeed heartening.

Caught hold of an amateur video taken by students from the neighbouring Victoria School. The blaze was an inferno- so bad that the smoke was visible all the way till Kallang!



And to the fourteen-year-old boy who did this:

May God have mercy on you. Because you surely need lots of it. A whole lot of mercy and compassion from Him.

Lets pray that the Kampung Siglap Mosque Committee will stay strong and steadfast. May God be with them.

"We shall test your steadfastness with fear and famine, with loss of property and life and crops. Give good news to those who endure with fortitude; who in adversity say: 'We belong to God, and to him we shall return.' On such men will be God's blessing and mercy; such men are rightly guided." - (2: 155-157)
