Indo Islamic Heritage
Madina Masjid is a local neighborhood mosque located in Awas Vikas Colony, a modern residential area in Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a place of worship for the local Muslim community, offering daily prayers and community gatherings. Unlike grand historical mosques, it is a contemporary local site with no widely documented ancient significance.
Madina Masjid, situated in the Awas Vikas Colony of Farrukhabad, is a modest community mosque that caters primarily to residents of this planned residential locality in Uttar Pradesh. Farrukhabad, a city known for its historical ties to the Mughal era and located along the banks of the Ganges, hosts several mosques, but Madina Masjid stands out as a modern, local place of worship rather than a historic monument. The name "Madina" draws inspiration from the holy city of Medina in Saudi Arabia, a common naming convention for many mosques in India to evoke spiritual connection. This mosque facilitates regular congregational prayers, including the five daily salah and Friday Jummah prayers, playing a central role in the spiritual and social life of the neighborhood's Muslim population. While Farrukhabad features older mosques and dargahs in areas like Chakka Nazir Kuncha Road and Nehru Road, Madina Masjid represents the contemporary Islamic infrastructure in developing colonies like Awas Vikas, which was established as part of Uttar Pradesh's housing development initiatives.
