Masjid Abdul Gaffoor, National monument mosque in Little India, Singapore.

The white and beige mosque stands on Dunlop Street with a central cupola, two square minarets, and decorative panels featuring Arabic calligraphy throughout its exterior.

The current building emerged in 1907 from the redevelopment of the earlier Al-Abrar Mosque, established in 1846 for South Indian Muslim merchants.

The mosque holds religious classes conducted in Tamil language, reflecting its strong connection to the South Indian Muslim community in Singapore.

Visitors can reach the mosque through multiple transportation options, including Rochor MRT station and bus routes 64, 65, 130, 139, and 147.

The main entrance displays a sundial with rays containing the names of 25 Islamic prophets written in Arabic calligraphy around its perimeter.
