The Masjid Abdul Gafoor Mosque can be found in the “Little India” district. Built in 1859, this mosque with its unique architecture is considered one of Singapore's national monuments. She has a distinctive mix of styles – one of South Indian, Mughal and European influences. Located in the central part of Singapore. The charming architecture of the Abdul Gafoor Mosque stands out among the surrounding commercial buildings in the historic Little India district. The living monument bears witness to the contributions of Tamil and Bawean pioneers to the development of colonial Singapore. Very beautiful to see!

The mosque’s design is truly remarkable, featuring a unique blend of Indo-Saracenic, Mughal, and European influences. The intricate details on the façade, the grand archways, and the beautifully designed minarets make it a visual masterpiece. The green and gold color scheme gives it an elegant and majestic look.

I've only been to this mosque to attend a couple of sermons, and I couldn't help but be truly mesmerized by the architecture. Gazetted as a national monument, Masjid Abdul Gafoor is to me, the most stunning mosque on this island. It's also one of the few mosques to offer religious classes in Tamil. The monument is a blend of Southern Indian, Moghul and European influences. Sultan Mosque gets too much attention lah - you wanna check this beauty out! I snapped loads of photos all over the premises, so you can appreciate the intricate workmanship!

Tucked away from the bustle of Little India, this mosque was completed in 1910 and recently restored. The main entrance of this mosque boasts an elaborate pediment, the center of which is a sundial. The sunburst has 25 rays, decorated with Arabic calligraphy denoting the names of 25 chosen prophets and is the only one of its kind in the Islamic world. I prefer the Sultan Mosque, but the Abdul Ghaffoor Mosque is really a great and beautiful Mosque! And quiet interesting, because of it's details.
