Qalandri Masjid is a neighbourhood mosque located in Nawabad, a residential area of Jammu city (PIN 180002). The name Qalandri often refers to the Qalandariyya Sufi tradition within Islam, suggesting that the mosque may be associated with believers who follow Sufi devotional practices and emphasize spiritual closeness to God; such mosques often carry a social and devotional role in their communities. While there are no widely published formal historical records online detailing the exact year of establishment, founder, or documented architectural heritage, the mosque’s presence on local listings and community references indicates that it is an established place of worship in the Nawabad locality. It functions as a central location for the five daily prayers (Salaat), the Friday Jumma congregational prayer, and communal celebrations during Islamic festivals like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Milad un Nabi, serving the spiritual needs of local residents. Mosques such as this one are often integral parts of neighbourhood life, providing not just worship space but also acting as informal community centres where people gather, share information, and build social bonds.
