ISEYIN PREMIER CENTRAL MOSQUE IDI-OSE. The Iseyin PREMIER Central Mosque Idi-Ose was the first and General Mosque for Iseyin Land for many Centuries and was arguably established in the year 1604, it year of establishment is arguable because Like any history of a people that began before the invention of writing and printing, history was passed from generation by word of mouth. Such history was bound to have some contradictions. Some narrated it that the Mosque has been in existence before the stated year. The Mosque had gone through different phases of reconstruction and refurbishment as it started from Ordinary Tent made of Bamboo and palm trees to Mud and Boto Malu/ Cow Excretion and eventually reconstructed to what it is today by our kind hearted philanthropists Alhaji Abdul-Lateef ABDUL-AZEEZ Latson and Alhaji ABDULFATAH ABDULAZEEZ BOLAMARK wẹ are still hoping for the final touching soon. The Mosque was cooperatively sighted and constructed by the Muslims in Iseyin and as Central Mosque should be a pure and sacred place of worship the mosque was located to an Islam reserved and Muslim dominated community (Idi-Ose) to retain its sanctity and respect as Township General Mosque which should safe of anti-islam activities that may denied it of it's rightful regard and as we can see it today no other Faith or religion practice thrive in Idi-Ose Area not that they been attacked or not accommodated but because Islam way of Life that has become part of the Idi Ose and Faramora Community as a whole. The Iseyin Central Mosque Idi-Ose is one of the foremost if not first Mosques in Yoruba Land.
