Masjid Al-Abrar (Malay for Al-Abrar Mosque; Jawi:مسجد الأبرار) is a mosque located along Telok Ayer Street in Chinatown within the Central Area, Singapore. It is one of the earliest mosques in Singapore.[1]
The building was gazetted as a national monument on 19 November 1974.[2]
The early Tamil immigrants first established the Masjid Al-Abrar in 1827 with a makeshift thatched hut that they used for worship until it was replaced by a brick building between 1850 and 1855.[3]
Between 1986 and 1989, major renovations were carried out, and the capacity was expanded to allow up to 800 worshippers in the mosque. An adjacent shophouse was converted into a madrasa and a prayer hall for women in 1998.
Masjid Al-Abrar was designated a national monument on 19 November 1974. The mosque is currently administered by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore.[2]
The design of the building is based on Indo-Islamic architecture with two tall minarets at the front.[2]
The building was built along a row of shophouses, and the frontage incorporated a five-foot way (1.524 m) that connects the walkway of the other shophouses.[2]
The mosque is accessible within walking distance from Telok Ayer MRT station.
