Kakrail Mosque
The Kakrail Mosque, also known as the Malwali Mosque () or as the Kakrail Markaz (), is a Tabligh Jamat mosque in the Kakrail neighbourhood of Ramna, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Located near Ramna Park, it is the centre of the Tabligh Jamat in Bangladesh. Leadership The mosque is being managed by two disputed groups of Tablighi Jaamat. Followers of Aalami Sura control the markaz for 28 days and the followers of Nizamuddin (mainstream Tablighi Jamaat) for only 14 days. There is no fighting between two jamat. History There is disagreement as to when and by whom the mosque was first built. However, it is seemingly the case that a previous mosque existed in the premises prior to Tablighi administration. Some claim that the original mosque was made of tin and built by the gardeners (known as ''Mali''s) of nearby Ramna Park. It was known as Malwali Masjid (). It is known from the senior attendants that a mosque was established here by a member of the Nawab family of Dhaka about 300 yea ...

Nawab Family Of Dhaka

Mosques In Dhaka
A mosque ( ), also called a masjid ( ), is a place of worship for Muslims. The term usually refers to a covered building, but can be any place where Islamic prayers are performed; such as an outdoor courtyard. Originally, mosques were simple places of prayer for the early Muslims, and may have been open spaces rather than elaborate buildings. In the first stage of Islamic architecture (650–750 CE), early mosques comprised open and closed covered spaces enclosed by walls, often with minarets, from which the Islamic call to prayer was issued on a daily basis. It is typical of mosque buildings to have a special ornamental niche (a ''mihrab'') set into the wall in the direction of the city of Mecca (the ''qibla''), which Muslims must face during prayer, as well as a facility for ritual cleansing (''wudu''). The pulpit (''minbar''), from which public sermons (''khutbah'') are delivered on the event of Friday prayer, was, in earlier times, characteristic of the central city mosque, ...

Kakrail
Kakrail () is a neighbourhood in Dhaka. It is under Ramna Thana and falls under the jurisdiction of Dhaka South City Corporation. Over time, Kakrail has grown into a mostly residential area, with apartment plots and schools, but subsequently, several NGOs and government offices have been set up there. Etymology Historian Muntassir Mamoon theorized that Kakrail may be named after a British commissioner to Dacca, Cockerell. The name "Kakrail" could be a Bengali corruption of his name. History As Dhaka expanded after the 1947 Partition of Bengal, Kakrail became a residential colony. A mosque in the area, the Kakrail Mosque, became the ''markaz'' (headquarters) of the Tablighi Jamaat in East Bengal. Their '' Bishwa Ijtema'' was held there annually starting in 1954. The gathering was moved to Tongi in 1966 when it outgrew the Kakrail Mosque. Kakrail has become part of Dhaka's main central business district. It became an early site of hotel-centered prostitution.
