Masjid Al-Abrar, Islamic prayer building in Telok Ayer Street, Singapore

The mosque features two tall octagonal minarets crowned with crescent moons and stars, integrated into a row of traditional shophouses along the street.

Tamil Muslim immigrants established the mosque in 1827 as a thatched hut, which was replaced by the current brick structure between 1850 and 1855.

The building serves as a central gathering place for the Indian Muslim community while welcoming worshippers from various ethnic backgrounds throughout Singapore.

Located near Telok Ayer MRT station, the mosque accommodates 500 people and includes separate prayer spaces for men and women across multiple floors.

The prayer hall aligns with the direction of Mecca while conforming to the urban grid, featuring French windows with colored glass panels and Doric columns.
