In the Mosque with my discovery card

Today I have visited Shahi Bazar Graveyard Mosque in Qutubpur Union of Narayanganj city. The mosque is an important mosque in the Shahi Bazar area because there is a very large graveyard next to it. Today I will visit the mosque and answer the questions of the respected organizer @max-pro sir. Now let me introduce you to the mosque.

Front of Shahi Bazar Graveyard Mosque

The Shahi Mahalla area is a very large and densely populated area. What is more, although there are many mosques in Shahi Mahalla, there is a large graveyard here in this area and the surrounding areas. Therefore, the importance of this mosque is greater than that of other mosques.
Shahi Bazar Graveyard Mosque has two towers. The mosque is visible from a distance, and two roads have passed on both sides of the mosque. As a result, the location of the mosque is easily recognized by the eyes of the common people.

Entrance gate of Shahi Bazar Graveyard Mosque

To enter the mosque, you first have to cross a large gate. The gate is made of S.S., which is a sight to behold. When you enter inside, you see a balcony. There is a beautiful arrangement for praying here too. There is a carpet. At the end or side of the balcony, there is an ablution room. The ablution room is divided into two parts. 20-25 people can perform ablution here at once. There is a towel to wipe their hands after completing ablution. If you wish, you can wipe your hands and face with this towel. There is a toilet next to it. There are four toilets for the worshipers.

Important information in the mosque

There are three gates to enter the main mosque. The main gate is made of wood and is decorated with a beautiful design. There are two more gates on both sides of the main gate. These gates are made of glass. The mosque is fully air-conditioned, so the gates are always closed. The arriving worshipers enter Main Mosque by moving the door to one side.
The mosque is completely tiled. The beautifully designed tiles are cold, so carpets have been laid on them. Although the mosque is air-conditioned, there are numerous ceiling fans, which are used when needed.
A clock adorns the mosque wall, clearly indicating the five daily prayer times. Worshippers can now find out the prayer time. The mosque has a beautiful lighting arrangement with a chandelier. The light that illuminates all sides.

The place where the Imam of the mosque stands is quite beautiful, with a golden design and pictures of two mosque minarets on both sides. The view attracts many as soon as they get away. It also expresses taste.
There is a pulpit next to the Imam's prayer place. Standing on it, the Imam delivers the sermon every Friday.
The pillars of the mosque are also beautifully designed. Each pillar is made of golden work, which is visually appealing.

There are several speakers inside the mosque. Through these speakers, the sweet voice of the Imam Sahib spreads throughout the mosque.
There are many shoe boxes in the mosque. The worshipers offer their prayers by placing their shoes in the boxes. In addition, the entrances of the mosque are very beautifully made. During the summer, the windows are usually opened, and the nice air from outside enters inside.

Prayer time in the Mosque

Just as healthy people come to the mosque to offer prayers, sick people also come who have difficulty in bowing or prostrating properly. Arrangements have been made for them to offer prayers sitting down. Several chairs have been placed so that sick people can offer prayers. Also, a stand has been placed to pass in front of the prayer. Sometimes this stand is used when there is a need to pass in front of the prayer.
The mosque is very big, but it is difficult to find space for people during Friday prayers, so prayer arrangements are also made on the roof of the third floor.
All in all, the mosque has gained popularity as an ideal place for worship for the people of the area.

Shahi Bazar Graveyard Mosque is where devout Muslims can be seen performing their religious duties. It is always open to obey the orders of the Almighty God. The mosque is open for worship from 4:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Since the graveyard is next to the mosque, the mosque's servants are always present in the mosque, so that it is possible to provide services at all times for urgent matters.

In addition to offering prayers, any religious discussion is held in the mosque. Especially after each prayer, special discussions are held, from which ordinary Muslims are particularly benefited.
