Printer-friendly version
Al-Abrar Mosque is one of the earliest mosques in Singapore , and is located along Telok Ayer Street in the Chinatown district within the Central Area , Singapore's central business district .
The mosque is known by three names: Masjid Al-Abrar, Kuchu Palli and Masjid Chulia. Al-Abrar is its official name, while Kuchu Palli, meaning "hut mosque", is a reflection of the mosque's first modest structure. Its location in Telok Ayer Street, in the heart of Chinatown , was where Chulia immigrants from the Coromandel Coast of South India , among the earliest immigrants to Singapore, settled when they came to Singapore -- hence, Masjid Chulia.
