History
As early as 1985, plans were made for the construction of a mosque in the Bukit Batok planning area to serve the Muslims living in both central Bukit Batok as well as other neighborhoods in the area such as Bukit Gombak and Hillview. A plot of land at the foot of the Little Guilin hill along Bukit Batok Avenue 2 was chosen for the mosque, which was named Masjid Ar-Raudhah by the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). Along with Masjid Kampung Siglap, the mosque was also placed under the second phase of the Mosque Building Fund by the MUIS. After a six-year period of construction work and a cost of $9 million in funding, Masjid Ar-Raudhah was completed in early 1992. The mosque was then officially inaugurated on 24 January 1993, with local politician Sidek Saniff present at the ceremony.
On 8 May 2021, the MUIS announced its plans to extensively renovate four mosques, among them Masjid Ar-Raudhah, with the others being Masjid Darul Makmur, Masjid Alkaff Kampung Melayu and the Darussalam Mosque. Then in April 2026, details of this extensive renovation project were unveiled, which highlighted the expansion of the prayer hall and inclusion of more accessible facilities for elderly congregants. The first phase of the project commenced on 13 July of the same year and by 8 October, it had reached the third phase. The committee of Masjid Ar-Raudhah noted that it was the first renovation project done to the mosque since its inauguration in 1993.
