Jamia Masjid Khansahib is a principal congregational mosque located in the town of Khan Sahib in Budgam district, Jammu & Kashmir (PIN 191111). As with many Jamia Masjids in the Kashmir Valley, it serves as the central place for five daily prayers, Friday (Jumu’ah) congregations, and major Islamic festivals such as Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha, drawing worshippers from the surrounding neighbourhoods. The mosque is an important spiritual focal point for the local Muslim community and often accommodates additional religious activities like Qur’an classes, Islamic study circles, and community discussions. Its establishment aligns with the historical tradition of congregational mosques in Kashmiri towns, where the Jamia Masjid functions not just as a place of prayer but also as a venue for social cohesion and religious education within the community. The specific date of its founding is not widely published, but it is recognized locally as a longstanding institution in Khan Sahib.
