The plan to build a mosque in Yishun housing estate began in the early 80s. Then, the pioneer Muslim residents of Yishun stood at 102 individuals only. From this small group and with the support of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), a large gathering was organised with the attendance of Muslims residing in nearby areas and villages such as Sembawang Naval Base quarters, Sembawang Malay Settlement (Kampung Tengah, Tanjong Irau, Wak Hassan dan Ahmad Ibrahim), Kampung Mandai Road and Kampung Ayer Panas at Jalan Mata Ayer. The gathering agreed to form a Mosque Building Committee and propose a list of names to Muis for its approval. |

Local Muslim residents from Yishun and the surrounding villages met to form a Mosque Building Committee. With support from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), funds began to be raised for the construction of the mosque. |

History
The plan to build a mosque in the Yishun housing estate was developed in the 1980s. At the time, the total number of Muslim residents of Yishun stood at 102 individuals.
Local Muslim residents from Yishun and the surrounding villages met to form a Mosque Building Committee. With support from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), funds began to be raised for the construction of the mosque.

The mosque is currently closed for major renovation works from 24 April 2023 to late 2025. As part of the renovation works, it will be expanded and barrier-free facilities will be installed.
Establishment
Several names for the new mosque were suggested such as AI-Jannah, AI-Makmur, Assobirin, Faisah, AI-Bilal, AI-Muaasim, Aminin, AI-Syuhadah and AI-Araf, but the Fatwa Committee's final verdict was Darul Makmur.[2]
Alhamdulillah, with the conscientious efforts, contribution, and support of the Mosque Building Committee and Muslim residents in Yishun and nearby areas, Darul Makmur Mosque construction was completed and officially launched on 25 July 1987.
