Masjid Al-Muttaqin

The Al-Muttaqin Mosque (Malay: Masjid Al-Muttaqin) is a mosque in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore. It is the fifth mosque completed in the country 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 (LBKM), on April 29, 1979 and it was officially opened on September 2, 1980 by the late Mr Rahmat Kenap (MP for Geylang Serai). 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 (Madrasah) 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.
