Masjid Shareef is a neighbourhood mosque located in Vidhata Nagar, Bathindi, in Jammu (PIN 181152), identified locally as the mosque behind Simula Complex and opposite Wave Mall. It serves as an active spiritual centre for the Muslim community in this part of Bathindi, where residents gather for the five daily prayers (Salaat), the important Friday Jumma congregational prayer, and religious gatherings during Islamic festivals such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Milad un Nabi, and Ramadan prayers. Although detailed historical records — including its exact year of establishment or the identity of its founder — are not widely published in major online or heritage sources, the mosque’s regular inclusion in mosque directories and community listings reflects its established role within the neighbourhood’s religious life. As a Masjid Shareef, the name often conveys respect and sanctity within the community, and the mosque functions not only as a place of worship but also as a centre for social contact and community discussion among residents of Bathindi and adjoining localities.
