The mosque in our neighborhood

It is known that this mosque was established on his land in 1891 on the initiative of late Kazi Aftab Uddin. For a long time, prayers were performed in a dochala raw room. In 1950, the mosque was converted into a pucca building with the dedicated efforts and financial support of the people. Previously there was no specific Imam. Mr. Khandaker Dianat Ali Sahib was the Imam of this mosque from 1950 till his death and Mr. Md. Abdul Jalil was the Muazzin. The Darul Uloom Emdadul Islam Qaumi Madrasa has been opened with the construction of a two-storey building in the present mosque.
