Assalamu Alaikum,

Hope everyone is well. Alhamdulillah, I am also well. Greetings and welcome to the 3rd week of the 29th episode of my learning challenge. Today I have come to review a religious institution. I will share a review of the religious institution, the beloved institution of our Muslims, the mosque. First of all, I would like to thank our beloved @Max-Pro brother for allowing me to highlight such a beautiful topic. Through which I got the opportunity to review our beloved institution, the mosque.

I took the photograph from the front of the mosque.

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

The mosque that I am going to discuss with you today is the largest mosque in Bahar Chora, Cox's Bazar. It is located next to the Bahar Chora Bazar and is very well known to everyone as the Bahar Chora Central Jame Mosque. Although the architecture of this mosque is quite old, it is a second-story mosque. This mosque has a good reputation; there is a graveyard next to it. Moreover, there is a market next to it.

There are trees around the mosque.

All Muslims who come to the market can offer prayers. Moreover, all the local Muslims living nearby offer five daily prayers in this mosque. Moreover, they offer Friday prayers. In other words, the Bahar Chara Mosque is known by one name. Bahar Chara Bazar Mosque is known by one name. That is, the mosque is quite well-known because it is next to the market. Since it is located in the city, its size is not very large.

View from the front of the mosque.

The mosque is located in a very small area. A large number of people come to offer prayers in this mosque. When Friday comes, there is no space for people in the mosque on the second floor and the ground floor, so arrangements are made to offer prayers in the courtyard of the mosque.

What kind of religious activities are seen here? (With pictures + videos)

Since this is a mosque, five daily prayers are offered here. Moreover, the call to prayer is given before each prayer, and Friday prayers are offered on Friday. Along with this, sermons are read here, and religious discussions are held. This mosque does not have any maktab; only five daily prayers are offered. And there is a graveyard next to it where the dead are buried. When it is time for prayer, the muezzin gives the call to prayer.

As soon as the muezzin's call to prayer ends, people slowly rush towards the prayer, and the prayer is led by the imam. Local people go to that mosque, from young to old, to pray in the mosque, which is very nice to see. Since the market is located next to it, all the devotees of the market go to pray in this mosque. It is very convenient if there is a mosque next to every market. So that all the traders of the market and all the buyers and sellers of the market can pray. One of the religious institutions of our Muslim religion is the mosque, which is our heart.

View inside the mosque.

When I went to visit the mosque, the call to prayer was given, and the devotees started coming to pray. I could not enter the mosque or the courtyard at that moment. I collected the pictures from a distance. Since I am a woman, it would not be nice for me to enter the mosque, so I did not enter. And there may be a debate about everyone entering the mosque at that time. I collected the pictures from around the mosque. I also took videos, which I am sharing with you in stages today.

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

The thing that attracts me the most about this institution is that it is located next to the market. Another thing that attracts me the most is that there is a cemetery next to the mosque. And the mosque has roads on both sides. On one side is the market road, and on the other side is the road where the local people can come. Due to this, all the devotees of the market can come to pray on one side.

On the other hand, the local people can travel to the mosque, which I like very much. Since such a religious institution is located in the middle, the people of both sides are enjoying the benefits very well. On the one hand, the prayers of the devotees coming from the market are being held properly. On the other hand, the local people are able to travel very well to perform their religious activities.

Another thing that attracts me is that it is a mosque that is located in the middle of the city, and there is a cemetery there. There is basically no cemetery in the mosques of the city. There is a cemetery next to this mosque, which is why there is an opportunity to bury local people.

Is there any special moment or experience?

Since we live in the city for the convenience of our work, we stay around this mosque. Because of this, we hear the call to prayer five times a day, which is a very good opportunity for me. A good experience for me. When we hear the call to prayer, we can move towards prayer, which is very good for us. And when we go to the market, we pass by the mosque, and there is a cemetery next to it.

A photograph of me was taken in front of the mosque.

As human beings, when we pass by a cemetery, we definitely think about the afterlife. I remember the pain of losing my mother, those special moments when my mother lies in the cemetery inspire me a lot. They move my heart a lot. These things make me feel a lot about staying around this mosque.
