Indo Islamic Heritage
Masjid e Hanafiyyah (also listed as Masjid E Hanafiyyah) is a local mosque located in the Madina Colony area of Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a place of worship for the Muslim community in this residential neighborhood. Named likely in reference to Imam Abu Hanifa (the founder of the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence), it is a community mosque rather than a major historical monument.
Masjid e Hanafiyyah, situated in the Madina Colony locality. This mosque is a neighborhood prayer site, commonly used for daily prayers (salah), Friday congregations (Jumu'ah), and community gatherings. Unlike prominent historical Islamic sites in Uttar Pradesh—such as the grand Jama Masjid in Delhi, the Taj Mahal's associated mosque, or even older local structures like the Shahi Masjid in Firozabad's Katra Pathanan area (attributed to Sher Shah Suri or Shah Jahan periods)—Masjid e Hanafiyyah does not feature prominently in historical records or gazetteers as an ancient shrine, dargah, or imperial mosque. No specific founding year is widely documented in public sources, suggesting it is a more contemporary community-built mosque rather than a centuries-old heritage site. It bears the name "Hanafiyyah," evoking the Hanafi madhhab (school of thought), which is predominant among Indian Muslims, and may have been established to serve the growing residential areas around Madina Colony. The mosque is positioned in a bustling colony near Ramgarh Road and other local landmarks, contributing to the vibrant Islamic cultural fabric of Firozabad. Nearby, other mosques like Makhdumiya Masjid, Wasiya Masjid, and Masjid Badar also dot Madina Colony, highlighting the area's dense concentration of prayer spaces.
