Named in honour of a Peer (a revered spiritual figure often associated with Sufi traditions, though this particular mosque’s precise historical background is maintained locally), the mosque provides space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — and for the *weekly Friday (Jumuʿah) sermon and congregational prayer. The mosque brings the community together in shared devotion and reflection, reinforcing neighbourhood cohesion and spiritual practice.
