Rizwan Masjid, commonly referred to locally as Kadapa Nakash Mosque, is a neighborhood mosque located in the Kadapa Nakash area of Kadapa (YSR district), Andhra Pradesh (PIN 516001). Established by the local Muslim community, the mosque was conceived as a dedicated space for five daily prayers, Friday (Jumuʿah) congregations, and the observance of key Islamic occasions such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha. The name Rizwan refers to Jannat-ul-Rizwan (the Garden of Satisfaction), an Islamic term symbolizing divine pleasure and peace, reflecting the mosque’s spiritual purpose as a center of devotion and community life. Over time, Rizwan Masjid has also served as a venue for Qur’anic recitation sessions, moral guidance talks, community gatherings, and religious discussions, fostering unity, mutual support, and spiritual growth among residents of the Kadapa Nakash locality and adjacent neighborhoods.
