Al-Abrar Mosque

Al-Abrar Mosque (Masjid Al-Abrar) is a historic mosque located at 192 Telok Ayer Street in Chinatown, within the Outram planning area of Singapore. Originally a thatched hut built around 1827 by the Chulia community from South India, it was rebuilt as a brick building between 1850 and 1855. Gazetted as a National Monument in 1974, it is one of Singapore's earliest mosques and reflects South Indian Islamic architecture along the historic Telok Ayer waterfront.

Visitors can expect a compact, single-storey mosque set along historic Telok Ayer Street in Chinatown, surrounded by shophouses, temples and other National Monuments. The exterior shows simple South Indian-influenced architecture with a gated entrance and veranda. Inside is a prayer hall used for daily prayers. Non-Muslim visitors can view the exterior and, outside prayer times, appreciate the heritage streetscape and interpretive markers about the early Chulia community.
