Masjid Malabar, Islamic mosque in Kampong Glam district, Singapore.

The mosque features a central golden onion dome with a crescent and star, complemented by an octagonal minaret tower at Victoria Street junction.

The Malabar Muslim community established this mosque in 1963, replacing an older structure that existed on a cemetery dating back to 1819.

The mosque represents the heritage of Malabar Muslims from Kerala, India, who settled in Singapore during the early nineteenth century.

The main prayer hall accommodates 1000 worshippers and opens daily from 5 AM to 9 PM, with separate areas for ablution and religious studies.

The external façade displays blue and white lapis lazuli tiles added during the 1990s renovations, creating a distinctive pattern in the neighborhood.
