Our History

Considered to be a landmark in the Geylang area, Darul Aman Mosque was built in 1984-1986 to replace the Aminah Mosque (Masjid Aminah), which had to be demolished to make way for the redevelopment of the Kampung Ubi and Geylang Serai area.  After 18 years of use, the Darul Aman Mosque was given a major facelift which was completed in 2005 at the cost of SGD$3 million.

The upgraded mosque now has:

• larger prayer areas that can accommodate 4,000 persons
  (from the original capacity of 3,000)
• 8 multi-purpose classrooms (from the original 2 classrooms) with modern teaching and learning facilities
• conducive environment and audio system to support mass prayers;
• better audio visual and lighting systems that enhance effective delivery of mass lectures

The upgraded mosque still retains its original concept of the traditional Malay design roofs and a main central building that has roof beams exposed within the building (without false ceiling in the way Malay houses were built in the past).

The prayer halls are located in the central building, while two other smaller buildings are connected to them by link ways. This concept provides good natural ventilation and creates a spacious and cool atmosphere for the prayer halls.
