Masjid Ghani is a neighbourhood mosque situated at 7, Bawe Wali Gali in the Prem Nagar / Gujjar Nagar area of Jammu (PIN 180001). Serving as a vital centre for the local Muslim community, the mosque hosts the five daily prayers (Salaat), the Friday Jumma congregational prayer, and community gatherings during important Islamic occasions such as Eid al‑Fitr, Eid al‑Adha, Milad un Nabi, and Ramadan programs. The name “Ghani” is often associated with blessings and abundance and is a respected name in Islamic tradition, reflecting the mosque’s spiritual role. Although detailed historical records — such as the exact year of establishment, founder’s identity, or architectural style — are not widely available in mainstream heritage documentation, the mosque’s regular presence in local mosque directories and prayer‑time listings indicates that it is a well‑established and active place of worship within the Prem Nagar / Gujjar Nagar community. For residents, Masjid Ghani serves not only as a prayer space but also as a neighbourhood hub where people meet, learn, and support one another through religious and social interaction.
