Mosques in Singapore

There are 72 mosques in Singapore. With the exception of Masjid Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim, owned by the State of Johor, and Masjid Taha, owned by the Ahmadiyya organization, all mosques are under the purview of the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS).

Generally, mosques in Singapore are of the Sunni sect.[1] However, exceptions do exist, like the Ismaili Shi'ite Masjid Al-Burhani and the Ahmadis' Masjid Taha.

A total of 26 mosques have been built under the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund (MBMF), with the most recent being Masjid Yusof Ishak that was officially opened in 2017.[2][3]
