Indo Islamic Heritage
Masjid-E-Khair (also referred to as Khairul Masjid in some sources) is a local mosque located in the Kashmiri Gate area of Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a community prayer site in this glassware-manufacturing city.
Firozabad, famously known as the "Glass City of India" for its bangle and glassware production, also hosts a variety of religious sites reflecting its diverse cultural fabric. Among these is Masjid-E-Khair, situated in the Kashmiri Gate locality. This mosque is a place of worship for the local Muslim community and appears in listings of religious spots in the city. The mosque is not listed among centrally protected historical monuments by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and detailed historical records about its origins or architectural significance are limited in public sources. Unlike prominent historical mosques in nearby regions—such as those from the Mughal or Sultanate periods in Agra or Delhi—Masjid-E-Khair seems to be a community-level masjid without notable mentions in gazetteers or heritage surveys as an ancient structure. Firozabad itself has some older mosques, like the Shahi Masjid (attributed to the Sher Shah Suri or Shah Jahan era in local accounts) or the Jama Masjid, but Masjid-E-Khair is primarily recognized as a functional religious site in the Kashmiri Gate neighborhood.
