Jamia Markazi Masjid Khatbla Jumma, commonly known in local listings as Markazi Jamia Masjid Talab Khatikan, is one of the central congregational mosques in Jammu City, situated in the historic Talab Khatikaan / Pakki Dhaki area. This mosque functions as a major centre for daily prayers and Friday Jumma prayers, accommodating a large number of worshippers from across the city. It is also noted as a centre of Tableeghi Muslim community activities, indicating its role not only as a place of worship but also as a hub for religious learning, community organization, and Islamic outreach. Locals describe it as a large and peaceful space with facilities for prayer, and it often receives visitors and worshippers throughout the day, especially on Fridays. Though readily identified as a key mosque for the Muslim community in Jammu, detailed historical records about its date of establishment or founding figures are not widely documented in publicly accessible sources; its prominence today is defined by its capacity, active congregation, and central role in the community.
