The Darussalam Mosque commonly known as Masjid Darussalam is located in Clementi, Singapore. It was first established in 1979 and was officially opened in 1988. Its name, Darussalam (/ˌdɑːr ɛs səˈlɑːm/; from Arabic: دَار السَّلَام, romanized: Dār as-Salām) means "House of Peace" in Arabic.
History
At first, the Darussalam Mosque was an unofficial establishment on 15 July 1979, being established by a committee of Muslim clerics and former government officials in the Clementi and Commonwealth neighbourhoods.[1] When the government had officially accepted the proposal for the construction of a mosque, groundbreaking began in 1984–1985.[1][2] Construction was planned to be officially completed in November 1988.[3] At the time, the main source of funding for the mosque was through the sales of food like Biryani and Nasi Lemak.[2] Ultimately, the Darussalam Mosque was completed in 1988 and officially opened on 27 December of that year.[1][4]
In 1990, the mosque hosted courses on how to use computers, which were available for various ages.[5] The mosque also received donations from a bowling match held on 6 December 2005.[6]
