The Darul Makmur Mosque (Malay: Masjid Darul Makmur) is a mosque located at Yishun Avenue 2 in Yishun, Singapore.[1] It was constructed in the early 1980s.

History

The plan to build a mosque in the Yishun housing estate was developed in the 1980s. At the time, the total number of Muslim residents of Yishun stood at 102 individuals.

Local Muslim residents from Yishun and the surrounding villages met to form a Mosque Building Committee. With support from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), funds began to be raised for the construction of the mosque.

Some of the events, projects, and initiatives organized by the Committee include:

The Committee also received compensation from the acquisition of musolahs (surau) in the nearby villages affected by the government’s resettlement projects.

The mosque is currently closed for major renovation works from 24 April 2023 to late 2025. As part of the renovation works, it will be expanded and barrier-free facilities will be installed.

Establishment

Several names for the new mosque were suggested such as AI-Jannah, AI-Makmur, Assobirin, Faisah, AI-Bilal, AI-Muaasim, Aminin, AI-Syuhadah and AI-Araf, but the Fatwa Committee's final verdict was Darul Makmur.[2]

Alhamdulillah, with the conscientious efforts, contribution, and support of the Mosque Building Committee and Muslim residents in Yishun and nearby areas, Darul Makmur Mosque construction was completed and officially launched on 25 July 1987. Eiduladha Prayers 1407H was the first congregational prayer held upon its completion.
