Prayer rooms in Central Singapore
Even while out and about, Muslims are not excused from prayers – so you might often find yourself scouring for the nearest prayer room when the time for worship nears. These days, malls and offices have dedicated spaces for Muslims to conveniently and comfortably do their prayers before enjoying their day out.
Here’s a list of prayer rooms – or musollahs – you can head to before meeting your friends for your next hangout in town.
