Akbari Masjid in Ashok Vihar functions as an important spiritual centre for residents of this residential locality in Ghaziabad. The name “Akbari” traditionally reflects Islamic naming heritage and may symbolically reference grandeur or historical influence, though neighbourhood mosques bearing this name are usually community-established institutions. The mosque provides space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — allowing worshippers to perform congregational prayers close to their homes. On Fridays, Akbari Masjid hosts the Jumuʿah prayer, which includes a sermon (khutbah) followed by collective worship, drawing larger attendance from Ashok Vihar and nearby areas. During the holy month of Ramadan, the mosque becomes especially active with increased participation in Taraweeh prayers and Quran recitation sessions. It also serves as a gathering point during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, reinforcing its role as both a spiritual and social hub.
