Indo Islamic Heritage
Jama Masjid in Gorakhnath (Humayunpur) is a principal congregational mosque in Gorakhpur city, Uttar Pradesh 273015, India. A central place of worship for Muslims, it hosts the five daily prayers, the Friday (Jumuʿah) congregation, and religious activities throughout the Islamic calendar.
Nestled along NH 29 in North Humayunpur, Jama Masjid in Gorakhnath stands as a venerable centre of Islamic worship and community life. Jama Masjid — literally “the main mosque” — traditionally denotes the mosque where the weekly Jumuʿah prayer is held, marking it as one of the area’s most significant spiritual sites. For generations, the faithful have gathered here for the five daily Salah (prayers) — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — experiencing both the tranquillity of early morning devotion and the unity of collective worship. The mosque becomes especially vibrant during the Friday sermon (khutbah), which blends Qur’anic teachings with reflections that resonate with everyday life in Gorakhpur.
