Jamia Masjid Gummat is a well‑known mosque located in Shalamar, Resham Ghar Colony, in the heart of Jammu city (PIN 180001). This mosque serves as an important spiritual and community centre for the local Muslim residents, providing space for the five daily prayers (Salaat), the weekly Friday Jumma congregational prayer, and religious gatherings during Islamic festivals such as Eid and Milad. The name “Gummat” often refers to mosques with a distinctive large prayer hall or dome (in local usage), and Jamia Masjid Gummat is regularly listed in mosque directories and prayer‑time listings, indicating its active use and recognition within the community. While detailed historical records — such as the exact year of establishment, the mosque’s founder, or specific architectural heritage — are not widely published in major online or academic sources, its consistent presence in local listings and extensive use by worshippers reflect its established role as a principal mosque in the Resham Ghar and Shalamar areas. The mosque also acts as a focal point for social interaction and neighbourhood cohesion, often hosting community notice boards and serving as a gathering point during major religious events.
