Masjid Al-Muttaqin 4.84

Masjid Al-Muttaqin, or Al-Muttaqin Mosque, is the fifth Mosque completed in Singapore under the Mosque Building Fund Scheme Phase I. The mosque's official ground-breaking ceremony was officiated by Mr Syed Ali Redha Alsagoff, chairman of Lembaga Biasiswa Kenangan Maulud, on April 29, 1979 and it was officially opened on September 2, 1980 by the late Mr Rahmat Kenap . The chosen name Al-Muttaqin refers to the pious people who are ever aware of God the Almighty.Located at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 in the central area of the Singapore island, the Mosque serves the residents of Ang Mo Kio housing estates and it can accommodate up to 4000 worshippers after going through a major refurbishment programme in 2016. It has gone beyond its religious function as a place of worship to even offer a homeopathy welfare clinic. Besides that, it also offers part-time religious classes and kindergarten classes.It was built in the past because there was barely any place for Muslim people to worship in Ang Mo Kio. Many of these people went to Serangoon for worship. Thus, when this mosque was built it was the only mosque, and still is the only mosque in Ang Mo Kio.ProfileMasjid Al–Muttaqin was built in 1980 at a cost of $1.83 million. The land cost was $268,775.00 and the cost of furnishing it was $200,000.00. Between 1987 and 1988, a new floor was added to make rooms for the pre-school classes.With the ever-increasing activities and the demands for more space Masjid Al-Muttaqin was further renovated in 1998, adding a third level at a cost of $2.6 million.
