Indo Islamic Heritage
Khaif Masjid is a neighbourhood mosque situated at XP58+59M, Ashiyana Colony, Shyam Nagar, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh 250002. It serves the surrounding Muslim community as an active place of worship and forms part of the living religious heritage of the Shyam Nagar area.
Khaif Masjid is located in Ashiyana Colony, Shyam Nagar, within Meerut's established residential landscape. The mosque continues to serve the local community through daily prayers, Jumu'ah (Friday prayer), Ramadan observances, Eid prayers and other religious gatherings. The name “Khaif” has a distinct Islamic association and may refer to Masjid al-Khaif in Mina, near Makkah, a mosque traditionally associated with the Hajj. However, there is no evidence that this Meerut mosque has a direct historical connection with Masjid al-Khaif; the name is best understood as a devotional naming tradition unless local records establish otherwise. Its continued religious function gives Khaif Masjid significance as a living religious heritage site, reflecting the role of neighbourhood mosques in maintaining communal worship and religious identity within Meerut's urban settlements.
