Raza Masjid is a locally significant mosque serving the Muslim population of Chas (a satellite urban area of Bokaro Steel City) in Jharkhand, India. The mosque is located near Bada Imambara Road (also referred to locally as Chas Road) within the Sultan Nagar and Ansari Colony neighbourhoods — areas known for their residential communities and active social life. The site falls under the 827013 postal code, which corresponds to Chas, a fast-growing urban region adjoining Bokaro Steel City with both historical roots and contemporary development as part of the broader Bokaro district.  Based on map data, Raza Masjid’s approximate geographic coordinates are 23.64535° N latitude and 86.17373° E longitude, which positions it within close proximity to other neighbourhood mosques and community spaces in the Sultan Nagar–Ansari Colony area.  There is no authoritative public record or historical archive detailing the exact year of construction for Raza Masjid; this is common for many urban community mosques in India that grow organically with population increases rather than being established by historical rulers or documented institutions. Instead, such mosques typically come into being through collective community initiative, adapting over time with renovations and expansions to meet local worship needs. Functionally, Raza Masjid serves as a central place of daily Islamic worship (Salat) for local Muslims. It hosts all five obligatory daily prayers and becomes a focal point on Fridays for Jumu’ah, when worshippers gather for the congregational prayer and sermon (khutbah). The mosque also gains importance during major Islamic observances such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha, when community participation increases and special prayer services are held. The mosque’s architecture follows the practical design typical of community mosques in India: a prayer hall oriented toward the Qibla (direction of Mecca), space for ablution (wudu), and accessible entry for worshippers. While it does not appear on lists of officially protected historical monuments, Raza Masjid remains an important living religious and cultural place within Chas — contributing to the city’s multiculturally rich landscape and fulfilling the daily spiritual needs of its neighbourhood.
