Masjid-E-Noor-E-Islam is a neighborhood mosque located in Ajit Singh Nagar, PNT Colony, Payikapuram, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh (PIN 520015) — a rapidly growing residential area on the western fringes of Vijayawada. Ajit Singh Nagar and the adjacent PNT Colony and Payikapuram settlements have expanded in recent years due to urban spillover from Vijayawada city, developing into mixed residential colonies with local markets, schools, and community facilities. Within this setting, Masjid-E-Noor-E-Islam was established by members of the local Muslim community to provide an accessible place for daily worship and communal religious life. It serves the five daily prayers (ṣalāh), the Friday (Jumuʿah) congregational prayer, and major Islamic occasions such as Ramadan Taraweeh, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha. The mosque also supports Qur’anic recitation, informal religious instruction (taʿlīm), and neighborhood fellowship, fostering spiritual and social cohesion among residents of Ajit Singh Nagar and surrounding colonies.
