Jamia Masjid Ahlihadees Balicharana is a community mosque located in the Balicharana area of Jammu city (PIN 180003), associated with the Ahle Hadees school of thought within Sunni Islam, which emphasizes adherence to the Qur’an and authentic Hadith. The mosque is listed in local mosque directories and prayer-time listings as a recognised place of worship where residents from Balicharana and neighbouring localities gather for the five daily prayers (Salaat), as well as the weekly Friday Jumma congregational prayer and special gatherings during Islamic festivals such as Eid and Milad. While detailed formal historical records — such as the exact year of establishment, the identity of its founder, or its architectural style — are not widely documented in publicly accessible sources, the mosque’s appearance in community listings and prayer directories shows it to be an active spiritual centre for the Ahle Hadees community in Jammu. Its role is primarily as a neighbourhood focal point for religious activities, religious learning, and social gatherings, reflecting its ongoing relevance in the day-to-day faith life of the local Muslim population.
