Etymology
The name of the mosque, Pusara Aman, is a combined form of two Malay words, pusara and aman. Pusara means "cemetery" and Aman means "peaceful" or "safety."History
Masjid Pusara Aman was built in 1972 along the Jalan Bahar road, under orders from the Ministry of Health. The land which the mosque sits on is rented Temporary Occupation License land, thus the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura continues to work with the respective governmental agencies to preserve the mosque.Aside from the usual daily prayers and the Friday prayer, Masjid Pusara Aman also functions as a funeral parlour, offering Islamic burial services that include washing the deceased and funeral prayers. In 2014, a cafe was opened in the mosque which was met with positive feedback from the public despite initial criticism about the concept. The mosque is also known for being popular amongst Muslim youth, some of which have administrative roles in the mosque.
