Masjid Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim

Masjid Temenggong Daeng Ibrahim (Jawi: مسجد تماڠڬوڠ دايڠ إبراهيم) formerly known as the State of Johor Mosque, is a mosque located in Telok Blangah, Singapore. Adjacent to the VivoCity shopping centre, the present day mosque was built in 1993 as a reconstruction of an 1845 structure. It is named aft

er Daeng Ibrahim bin Abdul Rahman, the fourth Temenggong of Johor, during whose reign the original mosque was completed. Next to the mosque is the Makam Diraja Johor Telok Blangah, a burial ground which includes a mausoleum for the Temenggongs of Johor, including Daeng Ibrahim himself. The mosque is administered by the Islamic council of Johor, the Jabatan Agama Islam Johor (JAIJ), rather than Singapore's local Islamic council, the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). Nevertheless, as both MUIS and JAIJ strictly adhere to Sunni Islam and follow the Shafi'i school of Islamic jurisprudence, their core Islamic teachings, prayer structures, and fundamental theological interpretations are identical.
