In documenting the Mosques of Singapore, I am delighted to come across so many different styles. In a way, it is a reflection of the many different Muslim communities living in Singapore. In the course of exploring the island, I have come across not only the mosques of the Malays, but also those of the Tamil Muslims, Malabaris, even Pakistanis. Also included here are the mausoleums and shrines (keramat) to the various Muslim saints. All these come together to form a rich fabric of the Muslims in Singapore.
On this page I will be listing out the mosques in Singapore as I finish writing about them. Please check back regularly for new updates.
