_Al-Istighfar Mosque

Information

This three-storey mosque is one of the most recent mosques built under Phase Three of the Mosque Building Fund programme. It can be recognized by its outstanding blue dome and modern yet Islamic architecture.

The mosque’s architecture is inspired by the 17th century Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, popularly known as the “Blue Mosque”. Al-Istighfar features two blue onion-shaped domes, with the larger capping the main building and crowned with a crescent and star. The mosque building is also distinguished by the geometric motifs and windows characteristic of Islamic architecture, along with wide roof eaves and high ceilings adapted to Singapore’s tropical climate.

The mosque will be redeveloped in the near future according to the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS)
