History

A thatched house was built in 1890 for the maulbi of the Kushtia High School on the site of the present mosque. In 1896, zamindar of Sheikhpara became the owner of this land through Awaz and built the mosque here. At that time the length and width of the mosque was 24 feet (7.3 m). Due to the increasing number of worshippers, the size of the mosque was increased in 1926. In 1986, the south side was extended. At present, the building of the mosque has two floors and a huge shaped minaret. The minaret is 111 feet (34 m) tall, construction began in 2021.^[3]
