Masjid-e-Aqsa is located in 17, New Sanath Nagar Lane, Siddiq Nagar, Sanath Nagar, Kanuru, near Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh (PIN 520007). The mosque developed as part of the planned residential expansion around Kanuru–Sanath Nagar, an area that grew rapidly with housing colonies, educational institutions, and small commercial establishments serving the wider Vijayawada urban region. Over time, Masjid-e-Aqsa became a key neighborhood mosque for the local Muslim community, providing a structured space for daily worship, including the five daily prayers (ṣalāh), Friday (Jumuʿah) congregational prayers, and major Islamic observances such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha. It also supports regular Qur’anic recitation circles and informal religious learning (taʿlīm), reflecting its role as both a spiritual and community center within Siddiq Nagar.
