      Mosque

      Follow Following
      -  Followers

      A mosque (Masjid in Arabic) is the central place of worship for Muslims, integral to the spiritual, social, and cultural lives of Islamic communities. The mosque not only serves as a place for daily prayers but also hosts important events like Jumu'ah (Friday congregational prayer), Eid prayers, community gatherings, religious education, charity events, and interfaith dialogues. It is a symbol of Islamic culture, embodying both religious devotion and the architectural heritage of Muslim civilization.

      Historically, mosques have been significant not just as spiritual hubs but also as centers of learning and political influence. The Prophet Muhammad established the first mosque, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, which also functioned as a school, court, and community center. Iconic mosques worldwide include the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Masjid al-Haram in Mecca (the holiest site in Islam), the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, and Badshahi Mosque in Lahore. In India, mosques like Jama Masjid in Delhi and Charminar in Hyderabad reflect the deep-rooted presence of Islam in the country’s history and architecture.

      In recent years, mosques have occasionally been at the center of geopolitical conflicts, sectarian disputes, and communal tensions, often becoming targets of attacks, vandalism, and hate crimes. This has heightened security concerns and underscored the need for interfaith understanding and peaceful coexistence.

      In June 2019, BOOM clarified a viral claim that Bengaluru’s Modi Masjid was named after Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

      BOOM found out that Modi Masjid, built approximately 170 years ago, was named after Hazrat Modi Abdul Ghafoor, a notable donor and respected figure.
