History
Masjid En-Naeem was established in the 1980s, with fundraising for its construction starting in 1981.[1] Intended to serve the Muslims living in the Hougang neighbourhood, the mosque was part of the second phase of the Mosque Building Fund, an initiative introduced by the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura in the 1970s.[2][3] Construction started in April of 1982.[3] It was completed in 1983, with the official opening of the mosque on 27 September of that same year.[2][4] In 1985, the mosque launched a series of madrasa classes for both children and adults.[5] The mosque underwent a renovation in 2006 which helped to increase its capacity.[2]
In 2019, the mosque launched a program to help ex-convicts and former offenders reintegrate into society.[2] In 2022, the funeral prayer for former journalist Rhazaly Noentil was held at Masjid En-Naeem.[6]
