Indo Islamic Heritage
Meva Faroshaan Masjid (also spelled Masjid Meva Faroshan or Mewa Faroshan Masjid) is a local mosque located in the Joshiyaan Mohalla (or nearby areas like Sadar Bazaar/Purani Mandi) of Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a community place of worship and is associated with a nearby madarsa (Madarsa Arabia Miftah Uloom).
Firozabad, often called the "City of Bangles," has a rich Islamic heritage influenced by Mughal rule, with several mosques reflecting architectural and cultural elements from that era. Among the city's religious sites is Meva Faroshaan Masjid, situated in the Joshiyaan Mohalla area (near Sadar Bazaar and Purani Mandi). This mosque is a functional place of worship for the local Muslim community and is sometimes referenced alongside nearby landmarks. It appears in local listings and social media as a site with attached religious education facilities, including Madarsa Arabia Miftah Uloom Masjid Meva Faroshan, indicating its role in both spiritual and educational activities. Unlike older historical mosques in Firozabad—such as the Shahi Masjid (attributed to Sher Shah Suri or Shah Jahan's era in the 16th-17th century, located in Katra Pathanan) or the prominent Jama Masjid—the Meva Faroshaan Masjid does not feature prominently in official historical records or gazetteers as an ancient monument. No definitive year of construction is available from reliable sources; it is likely a community-established mosque from the 19th or 20th century or later, built to serve the growing population in this bustling market area. Firozabad's mosques generally showcase Indo-Islamic styles, with domes, minarets, and prayer halls adapted to local needs.
