Indo Islamic Heritage
Jama Masjid Farooq-e-Azam is a congregational mosque located in Raghunath Pura, Mau. It serves the surrounding Muslim community as a centre of Islamic worship, including daily prayers, Friday Jumu'ah, Ramadan observances and other religious gatherings.
Situated in Raghunath Pura, Jama Masjid Farooq-e-Azam forms part of the network of neighbourhood mosques within the urban landscape of Maunath Bhanjan. As a Jama Masjid, it provides a space for the five daily prayers and the weekly Friday congregation, along with Taraweeh during Ramadan, Eid observances and other community religious activities. The name Farooq-e-Azam is an honorific traditionally associated with Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), the second Caliph of Islam. Al-Farooq refers to one who distinguishes between truth and falsehood. The name therefore reflects the devotional identity of the mosque, rather than indicating a direct historical connection with Hazrat Umar (RA). The mosque also forms part of the social infrastructure of Raghunath Pura, providing a setting for religious learning, community interaction and charitable activities. Its continued use makes it an example of living Islamic heritage in Mau.
