Indo Islamic Heritage
Raza Masjid is a neighbourhood congregational mosque located in Khaira Baag, Badgaon area of Gonda district, Uttar Pradesh 271002/271003 (area dependent), India. It serves as a centre for five daily prayers, Friday (Jumuʿah) congregation, and Ramadan religious activities, supporting the spiritual life of residents in the rural–semi urban locality.
Situated in Khaira Baag within Badgaon (Bargaon/Badgaon cluster) of Gonda district, Raza Masjid reflects the deeply rooted Islamic presence in the village-based communities of the region. The name “Raza” is often associated with devotion and may reflect reverence for a respected religious personality or the influence of the Raza/Barelvi tradition, which emphasizes love and respect for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Islamic scholarship. As a community mosque, Raza Masjid facilitates the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — providing a consistent spiritual centre for families in Khaira Baag and surrounding hamlets. Its presence ensures that residents need not travel far for congregational worship. On Fridays, the mosque conducts the Jumuʿah prayer, accompanied by a khutbah (sermon) focusing on Qur’anic guidance, ethical conduct, and community matters. These gatherings reinforce unity and shared religious identity within the locality.
