Masjid Darul Makmur
Masjid Darul Makmur is a mosque located in the Yishun planning area and neighbourhood in the North Region, Singapore. Built in 1987, it is situated atop a hill and serves the residents of the Yishun New Town area.
Etymology
The mosque's name, "Darul Makmur" is derived from the Arabic phrase "Dar al-Makmur" which can be literally translated to "Abode of Tranquility." The name of the mosque was chosen by the Fatwa Committee of the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), out of several names which included Al-Jannah, Al-Bilal, Al-Muaasim, Al-Syuhadah and Assobirin, all of which were later rejected.History
In the 1980s, plans were made for the construction of a mosque in Yishun, and by 1984 the name of the mosque, Darul Makmur, was decided upon by the Fatwa Committee of the MUIS. A large grassy hill located along Yishun Ring Road was then chosen as the site where the mosque would be constructed. Construction on the mosque started a year later in 1985. The mosque was completed in 1987 and officialized in the same year alongside Masjid Al-Mukminin, a mosque located in Jurong East.The mosque was closed on 24 April 2023 for renovation and upgrading works, which include expanding the prayer hall to accommodate more worshippers. It was reopened on 7 June 2025, coinciding with the Eid al-Adha celebrations in Singapore. The whole upgrading cost at least $15 million, which was collected mainly via donations and sales of food to fund the mosque.
