Masjid Al-Islah is a modern mosque located in the Punggol residential estate, designed with an open-concept architecture that eliminates physical barriers to emphasize accessibility. The building features a unique 'open-plan' prayer hall that connects seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood. It incorporates sustainable design elements including natural ventilation and sun-shading screens to reduce energy consumption. The mosque serves as a community hub, housing classrooms, a multi-purpose hall, and administrative offices. Its contemporary aesthetic deviates from traditional Middle Eastern mosque architecture, opting for a clean, minimalist facade. The structure has a capacity to accommodate up to 4,500 congregants. It acts as a focal point for the Muslim community in the north-east region of Singapore.
