Ahle Hadees Masjid, Keonjhar (Odisha 758001): Located in Keonjhar town, Odisha, the Ahle Hadees Masjid belongs to the South Asian Ahle Hadees (Ahl-i‑Hadith) movement—a reformist Sunni group emphasizing sole reliance on the Qurʾān and authentic hadīth and rejecting religious innovations. Though specific archival data on its founding year or founder aren’t publicly documented online, it is likely affiliated with the broader expansion of Ahle Hadees institutions in Odisha during the late 20th to early 21st century. The mosque serves local Muslims following Ahl‑e‑Hadīth doctrine, hosting daily prayers, Friday congregations, and community educational activities consistent with the movement’s focus on scriptural purity and ijtihād‑based jurisprudence, free from taqlīd. It reflects the wider regional pattern of Ahl‑i‑Hadith growth in urban and semi‑urban Odisha contexts in recent decades .
