The Miya Muhammed Husain Masjid, also referred to as Dada Miya's Masjid or Markhaz, is a significant historical and religious landmark situated in Dariyapur, Ahmedabad.
The Miya Muhammed Masjid, also known as the Dada Miyan Masjid or Roshan Pir, is a historic mosque located near Chandan Talvadi in Dariyapur. Constructed in the last quarter of the 18th century, this mosque is an exquisite example of brick architecture from that period. Dada Miyan, an eminent figure associated with the mosque, was the son of Saiyed Mustafa and the grandfather of Naral Hussain Shahab-ud-Din. The mosque stands out for its intricate architectural features, with walls adorned with carved arches that exhibit exceptional craftsmanship. The wooden pillars supporting the structure are intricately carved and connected by beautifully designed wooden arches with carved panels, adding to the mosque's grandeur. The sacred site also houses the rauza (mausoleum) of Dada Miyan and his brother, Ghulam Nabi, on one side, symbolizing their lasting legacy. On the other side, the mausoleum of Saiyed Mustafa and his family can be found, reflecting the historical and familial significance of the mosque. Together, the architectural elements and the mausoleums make the Miya Muhammed Masjid not only a place of worship but also a historical and cultural landmark that resonates with the heritage of the region.
