Masjid-E-Aqsa (Ahle Hadees) is a neighborhood mosque located on Nunna Road in Ajit Singh Nagar, PNT Colony, Vijayawada (PIN 520015). This part of Vijayawada developed as a residential extension along the west of the city, with mixed housing colonies and local amenities emerging alongside historic rural settlements. Within this evolving urban context, Masjid-E-Aqsa was established by the local Ahle Hadees community to provide a dedicated space for Islamic worship and communal life. The mosque serves as a center for the five daily prayers (ṣalāh), the weekly Friday (Jumuʿah) congregation, and major observances such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha. It also supports Qur’anic recitation, informal religious instruction (taʿlīm), and social interaction among neighborhood families, reinforcing its role as a spiritual and community anchor in Ajit Singh Nagar’s urban fabric.
