Indo Islamic Heritage
Madina Masjid is a prominent neighbourhood congregational mosque located at Reti Chowk in Qazipur Khurd, Gorakhpur district, Uttar Pradesh 273001, India. It functions as an active centre for five daily prayers, Friday (Jumuʿah) gatherings, and major Islamic festivals, serving worshippers from nearby localities and markets.
Madina Masjid stands as one of the well-known mosques in the Reti Chowk area of Gorakhpur city — a bustling urban neighbourhood where daily life converges with devotion. Its name evokes the sacred city of Medina (Madinah al-Munawwarah) in Saudi Arabia, which holds profound significance in Islamic tradition as the city to which Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated and where the foundations of Muslim community life were established. This name reflects the mosque’s spiritual aspiration to be a place of peace, reflection, and communal worship. As a neighbourhood congregational mosque, Madina Masjid facilitates the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — bringing residents together at regular intervals for collective worship and shared devotion. The mosque’s space becomes especially important on Fridays, when the Jumuʿah prayer draws a larger congregation for the weekly sermon (khutbah) that combines religious teaching with guidance relevant to daily life.
