What kind of religious cultural place have you visited? Introduce briefly

I have displayed the religious scriptures of the Muslims of the Islamic community and the place of prayer of the Muslims in the mosque. This mosque is known as Chini Mosque in Islambagh, Saidpur Upazila, Nilphamari District. This mosque is known all over the world as the name of this mosque. This mosque is a source of pride for Bangladesh. This mosque is a symbol of tradition for the people of Saidpur, i.e. Nilphamari. This mosque was built during the British period.

What attracted you the most about this place? Or show the prices of books at that religious equipment store.

What attracted me the most was the Imam of the mosque here teaching the children the Quran. I was fascinated by it and it reminded me of my childhood. Islam is a religion of peace. We are followers of Islam. Islamic education is definitely obligatory for Muslims to worship. The inspiration of Islamic education from childhood makes a Muslim a real human being. The Imams of the mosque are also busy teaching this. In this mosque, which I found more interesting and I was fascinated. I stood for a while and watched their Arabic teachings. May Allah grant us the right understanding. May Allah grant everyone the ability to follow religious practices.

Is there any special moment or experience?

To name a special moment, I have prayed in this mosque countless times. Muslims come from far and wide to pray in this mosque. This mosque is a historical mosque and an archaeological site. The experience of praying in this mosque is different. Most of the people living in Saidpur Baba are from the Bihari community. They speak Urdu more. The imam of the mosque is not a Bihari. So how does it feel for Bengalis to pray here? Even then, I have prayed here countless times. I feel that this is a wonderful moment for me.

^{Inside view of the mosque}

Who doesn't love to pray in this beautiful mosque? This mosque is built with all kinds of clay and stone. This mosque has a lot of history since the British era. Many thanks to @Max-pro brother for organizing such a beautiful event. If you ever have time, visit this historical mosque. It is a famous mosque in Saidpur, also known as Nilphamari. May everyone be well and healthy. Until today.
