Detail InformationEdit

Masjid Malabar (full name: Malabar Muslim Jama-Ath Mosque, Malay for Malabar Mosque) is Singapore’s only Malabar Muslim mosque. The mosque is located at the junction of Victoria Street and Jalan Sultan in the Kampong Glam district, in the Rochor Planning Area within the Central Area, Singapore’s central business district. The mosque was constructed in 1962.
In 1927, the Malabar Muslims, originally from the southern state of Kerala in India, formed Malabar Muslim Jama’ath, an association to look after the matters of their community, made up of mostly textile and jewellery merchants.Today, Malabar Mosque continues to be the focal point of the Malabar Muslim community who gather there every Friday and on Hari Raya and other religious occasions for prayers and celebrations.
Malabar Mosque is traditional in its layout and general form. The main prayer hall is elevated by one storey and this and the flight of steps which leads to it are oriented towards Mecca. Two-storey open-air galleries surround the main prayer hall on three sides and these are put to use during the Convocation. Beneath the prayer hall is a large space for the study of the Koran and other pursuits. Here too is the room of the imam, or prayer leader, a room for visitors and a small storeroom for food preparation.
