Noor-e-Ilahi Masjid in Sewa Nagar (Hindan Vihar) is a well-used urban community mosque in the Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh. The name Noor-e-Ilahi — meaning “Light of God” — reflects its spiritual purpose as a centre for Muslim worship and communal gathering. As a neighbourhood mosque, it provides dedicated space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — enabling residents to fulfil their ritual prayers together. On Fridays, the mosque hosts the Jumuʿah prayer — a significant weekly congregational prayer involving a sermon (khutbah) followed by shared worship. In addition to daily prayer functions, Noor-e-Ilahi Masjid plays a vital role during major Islamic festivals such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha, when larger congregations come together to pray, celebrate, and strengthen community bonds. While it is not widely documented in formal historical records or heritage publications, its active usage and strong local reviews reflect its respected place in the religious life of Hindan Vihar’s residents. The mosque’s design emphasises practicality and community accessibility — with a prayer hall oriented toward the qibla (direction of Mecca), open fellowship spaces, and facilities for wudu (ritual ablutions) — making it a welcoming hub for worship and neighbourly interaction.
