The Kampong Delta Mosque commonly known as Masjid Kampong Delta is located in the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood of the Central Region, Singapore. The mosque was built in 1975 to replace a previous surau (Muslim prayer house) that stood in the same place and has been expanded into a two-storey structure ever since. It is one of Singapore's smallest mosques, alongside the Surau Al Firdaus.

History

The site where the mosque now stands was formerly the location of a surau that was established in the 1960s. [1] [2] [3] The surau was eventually torn down and a new mosque was built over it that officially opened in 1975, with its opening ceremony being attended by Haji Rahmat bin Kenap, the People's Action Party Member of Parliament for Geylang Serai. [3] [4] However, the present two-storey structure was completed in 1995. [1] [2]

In 2021, the mosque had an extremely low number of worshippers due to the pandemic, resulting in it closing on Fridays due to lack of people for the Friday prayer. [5] The mosque's situation improved after the pandemic had ended in 2022. [6] On the 13th of June 2022, the mosque was broken into and one of its donation boxes removed, with at least SGD$274 stolen from it. The culprits, two teenage boys, were then apprehended and pleaded guilty in 2023. [7]

The Berita Harian describes the mosque as being one of Singapore's smallest mosques. [6]
