Indo Islamic Heritage
Ek Minar Masjid is a neighbourhood mosque located in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. The name “Ek Minar” (meaning One Minaret) reflects its distinctive architectural feature — a single prominent minaret. The mosque serves as an active place of worship where the local Muslim community gathers for the five daily prayers and the Friday (Jumuʿah) congregational prayer.
Ek Minar Masjid is a community mosque in Ghaziabad, functioning as an important spiritual centre for residents of its surrounding locality. The mosque derives its name from its architectural identity — traditionally featuring a single minaret, which distinguishes it from many larger mosques that have twin or multiple minarets. Like other neighbourhood mosques in Ghaziabad, Ek Minar Masjid provides space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — enabling worshippers to perform congregational prayers throughout the day. On Fridays, the mosque hosts the Jumuʿah prayer, which includes a sermon (khutbah) followed by collective prayer, drawing larger attendance from the surrounding community. During the holy month of Ramadan, the mosque becomes particularly vibrant with increased attendance for Taraweeh prayers and nightly worship. It also plays an active role during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, when worshippers gather in greater numbers for festive prayers and community interaction.
