Hanifa Masjid Sharif is a mosque located in Largam (also spelled Lara Gam), in the Shopian district of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India (PIN 192303). The mosque is described locally as a brick-built structure, reflecting traditional masonry common in the region’s village mosques. There are no widely published official records or documented histories online specifying the exact year of establishment or detailed founding history for this mosque; many smaller neighbourhood mosques in Shopian are primarily known through local community use and recognition rather than formal documentation. Hanifa Masjid Sharif serves as a place of worship and gathering for the local Muslim community in Largam and its surrounding areas, hosting the five daily prayers, Jummah (Friday congregational prayers), and religious gatherings during Islamic festivals like Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The mosque contributes to the spiritual life and social cohesion of worshippers in the Largam / Lara Gam area.
