Ek Minara Masjid is a well-known neighbourhood mosque situated in the historic Mohalla Kazi Tola (Qazi Tola) area of Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh. The mosque derives its name from its distinctive single minaret (Ek Minara), which stands out in the densely built residential locality. It is particularly associated with the Ahle Hadees (Salafi) community and functions as an active centre for the five daily prayers, Friday congregational prayers (Jumu'ah), and other religious activities. While it does not hold the grand historical stature of ancient monuments like the Jama Masjid of Kannauj, it represents the vibrant living Islamic tradition in this old Muslim-dominated mohalla of the city. The mosque is easily accessible, located close to other local masjids such as Madina Masjid, and enjoys a positive reputation among locals for its regular maintenance and community role. Its simple yet functional architecture is typical of many community mosques found in the older quarters of Kannauj.
