Umar Faruk Masjid is a neighbourhood mosque located in Misariyado village, Bhuj taluka, Kutch district, Gujarat. The mosque serves the local Muslim community as a place for daily prayers and congregational worship. It is listed on online maps under the name UMAR FARUK - MASJID, with the Plus Code JQVF+GHF identifying its location in Misariyado. The name refers to Umar Faruk, commonly known as Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), the second caliph of Islam, who is remembered in Islamic history for his leadership, justice and contributions to the early Muslim community. However, no verified historical source establishes whether the mosque was named specifically in his honour, nor are reliable records available regarding the mosque's founding date, founder, original patrons or architectural development. The mosque remains a local place of worship within the rural community of Misariyado, where religious institutions contribute to the spiritual and social life of residents.
