Indo Islamic Heritage
Jama Masjid Qazipur Khurd is a major congregational mosque located in the Urdu Bazar area of Qazipur Khurd, Gorakhpur district, Uttar Pradesh 273001, India. It serves as one of the primary sites for daily prayers, Friday (Jumuʿah) congregation, and Islamic festival gatherings for the local Muslim community.
Nestled within the historic neighbourhood of Qazipur Khurd in Gorakhpur, Jama Masjid stands as a focal point of Islamic worship and communal life. The term “Jama Masjid” traditionally denotes the mosque where the weekly Friday prayer (Jumuʿah) is held — a practice that unites the community in collective devotion and shared reflection. Bearing a name that means “the gathering mosque,” this mosque plays a pivotal role in structuring daily spiritual life. Worshippers assemble here for the five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — while the Jumuʿah prayer on Fridays becomes a larger communal event that reinforces religious teachings, unity, and social solidarity. The khutbah (sermon) delivered on Fridays often blends Qur’anic guidance with reflections relevant to the community’s daily life. Beyond its ritual role, Jama Masjid acts as a centre of community identity in Qazipur Khurd. It provides not only a sacred space for prayer but also a place where social bonds are strengthened
