Indo Islamic Heritage
Purani Masjid (meaning “Old Mosque”) is a traditional neighbourhood mosque located in Shahberi, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh 201009, India. It serves as an active congregational mosque where the local Muslim community gathers for the five daily prayers and the weekly Friday (Jumuʿah) prayer.
Purani Masjid in Shahberi is considered one of the older religious structures in the locality, reflected in its name which translates to “Old Mosque.” Situated within the rapidly developing residential belt of Shahberi in Ghaziabad (NCR region), the mosque remains an important spiritual centre for long-time residents and newer inhabitants alike. The mosque provides space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — allowing worshippers to perform congregational prayers throughout the day. On Fridays, it hosts the Jumuʿah prayer, which includes a sermon (khutbah) followed by collective prayer, drawing a larger congregation from Shahberi and nearby areas. During major Islamic occasions such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha, Purani Masjid becomes especially vibrant. Ramadan evenings often see increased attendance for Taraweeh prayers, and Eid gatherings strengthen the mosque’s role as both a spiritual and social hub.
