Indo Islamic Heritage
Hazrat Bilal Masjid is a local mosque located in the Rasulpur area of Firozabad district, Uttar Pradesh. Named after Hazrat Bilal ibn Rabah (RA), the first muezzin of Islam and a prominent companion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it serves as a community prayer space for the local Muslim residents. It is a modest neighborhood place of worship rather than a major historical monument.
In the district of Firozabad—famous for its glass and bangle industry and located near Agra—stands Hazrat Bilal Masjid in Rasulpur. This mosque is a community-centric place of worship dedicated to Hazrat Bilal (RA), symbolizing his legacy of faith, perseverance, and the call to prayer. Unlike centuries-old Mughal monuments such as the nearby Shahi Masjid in Katra Pathanan (attributed to Sher Shah Suri or Shah Jahan's era in the 16th-17th centuries), Hazrat Bilal Masjid appears to be a more modern, local establishment serving the daily spiritual needs of residents in Rasulpur and surrounding areas. It is mentioned in local directories as a notable mosque in the region, often alongside others like Masjid Khizra in the same locality. While exact historical records on its construction are limited in public sources, it likely dates to the late 20th century or later, built through community efforts common in post-independence India to provide accessible prayer spaces in growing neighborhoods. It holds cultural significance for locals as a site for daily prayers, Friday congregations, and religious gatherings.
