Indo Islamic Heritage
The nearest major railway station to Mustafa Masjid is Jammu Tawi Railway Station, which serves as the primary rail hub for Jammu city with connections across India.

Mustafa Masjid is a neighbourhood mosque located along an unnamed road in the Sunjwan area of Jammu (PIN 180011), identified on maps with the plus-code MWQ9+6G9. The mosque serves as a local spiritual centre for the Muslim community in and around Sunjwan, where residents gather for the five daily prayers (Salaat), the Friday Jumma congregational prayer, and religious observances during major Islamic festivals such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Milad un Nabi, and Ramadan activities. The name Mustafa — one of the revered titles of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) meaning “the chosen one” — reflects its devotional significance. Although there is no widely published historical documentation available online specifying the mosque’s exact founding year, the identity of its founder, or its architectural heritage, its presence in local mosque directories and prayer-time listings demonstrates that it is a recognised and regularly used place of worship within the Sunjwan residential area. As a community mosque, it also functions as a gathering place for neighbours and families, reinforcing communal bonds and providing a space for informal religious instruction alongside formal prayers.
