Peelay Quarter Masjid is a neighbourhood congregational mosque located in Peelay Quarter, Lohia Nagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh 201001, India. It functions as an active place of Islamic worship where the local community gathers for the five daily prayers and the weekly Friday (Jumuʿah) congregational prayer.
Peelay Quarter Masjid is an established community mosque serving residents of Peelay Quarter and Lohia Nagar, one of the older residential localities in Ghaziabad. The mosque provides dedicated space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — that enable worshippers to fulfil their ritual obligations in congregation. On Fridays, it hosts the Jumuʿah prayer, which includes a sermon (khutbah) followed by collective prayer and is a focal weekly event for the local Muslim community. Beyond regular prayer services, Peelay Quarter Masjid plays an important role during major Islamic observances such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha, when extended prayer sessions and community gatherings bring residents together for shared worship and fellowship. Neighbourhood mosques like this also serve as informal hubs of community interaction and spiritual support. While it is not featured in formal heritage registers, its positive local ratings reflect its respected presence in the daily religious life of the Lohia Nagar area. Architecturally, the mosque prioritises accessibility and functionality — with prayer spaces oriented toward the qibla (direction of Mecca), open or sheltered areas for congregational attendance, and facilities to support ritual wudu (ablutions) for worshippers.
