Masjid Kampong Delta (Jawi: مسجد كامبونغ دلتا) is a mosque located in Bukit Merah, Singapore. Situated within the Delta Avenue residential estate, it is one of the smallest mosques in the country.

History

[edit]

In 1961, a surau was erected in Kampong Delta, a colonial settlement situated in Bukit Merah, to serve the Muslim inhabitants of that area.[1][2] It was inaugurated into the registry of the local Islamic council on 1 July 1962 and declared open by Ya'acob bin Mohamed, a Malay diplomat and a member of the Legislative Assembly.[3] In 1974, the surau was selected as a place for the collection of the zakat fitrah payments during the Islamic month of Ramadan.[4] The surau was then upgraded into a full-fledged mosque and reopened in 1977 by Rahmat Kenap, a member of the People's Action Party representing Geylang.[5] Management of the mosque was also transferred to the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), the Islamic council of the country.[5][6] The road leading to the mosque, Brahmaputra Road, was also expunged in 1983 in order to make way for the construction of the Delta Avenue residential estate.[7]

In 1985, plans were made to rebuild the mosque in order to incorporate more worshippers.[8] Ultimately, plans for the mosque to be reconstructed into a two-storey structure were approved in 1988, with blueprints designed by a local architectural firm, Design 2000.[9] Construction on the rebuilt mosque took two years, with the mosque officially reopening its doors to the public on 18 October 1990, having been completed a day before.[6][10] It also received funds as a donation from the treasury of Surau Lorong Fatimah, a surau which had been demolished in 1989 to make way for the Woodlands Checkpoint.[11]

It is one of the smallest mosques in Singapore, with a capacity of 400 worshippers.[6][10]
