Sunni Jilaani Masjid is a Sunni mosque situated in the Voharwad locality of Shera, Godhra. It serves as a neighbourhood place of worship for the surrounding Muslim community, providing a space for daily prayers, congregational worship and religious activities. Local mapping and mosque directories identify the site by the name Jilaani Masjid and confirm its location at the supplied Plus Code. The name Jilaani reflects the devotional tradition associated with Hazrat Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (R.A.), widely revered in South Asian Muslim communities by the honorific Ghaus-e-Azam. He was a prominent Islamic scholar and Sufi figure associated with the Qadiri Sufi tradition. The mosque's name therefore carries a connection to this devotional heritage, although no available historical record establishes its founding patron, date of construction or a formal institutional affiliation with the Qadiri order. The mosque is best documented as a local Sunni community institution. Its original architectural design, construction history and historical development have not been independently established.
