Indo Islamic Heritage
Gausi Sao Masjid Muftipura is a neighbourhood mosque located in the Muftipura area near Tulsia ka Pool in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh 233001, India. It serves as an active centre of Islamic worship where residents of Muftipura and nearby localities gather for the five daily prayers and the weekly Friday (Jumuʿah) congregational prayer.
Gausi Sao Masjid Muftipura is an important local mosque in the Muftipura locality of Ghazipur city. The name “Gausi Sao” reflects a traditional Islamic reference, likely connected to spiritual veneration for Gaus (al-Ghawth), an honorific title often associated with revered Sufi figures. This naming indicates the mosque’s role not only as a space for daily worship but also as a symbol of spiritual and community identity. The mosque provides space for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — allowing worshippers to perform prayers in congregation. On Fridays, it hosts the Jumuʿah prayer, which includes a sermon (khutbah) followed by collective prayer, often drawing larger turnout from Muftipura and surrounding areas. During the holy month of Ramadan, Gausi Sao Masjid becomes especially active, with increased attendance for Taraweeh prayers after Isha, community Iftar gatherings, and Quran recitation sessions. The mosque also serves as a focal point for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers, strengthening social and spiritual bonds within the community.
