New Memon Masjid

New Memon Masjid is a mosque in Saddar featuring three central domes and two symmetrical towers decorated with traditional Islamic architectural details. The building accommodates about 10,000 worshippers and provides separate prayer areas for women.

The foundation stone was laid in 1949 by Governor General Khuwaja Nazim Uddin, establishing this religious site in the early years of Pakistan. The project was built during a time of community building following independence.

The mosque serves as a gathering place for the Memon community, where weddings, religious recitations, and celebrations take place regularly. You can see worshippers arriving for prayers throughout the day and sharing in community activities within its spaces.

The mosque is located in a central area of Karachi and is accessible, but parking can be limited during busy times. Visitors should dress appropriately and expect longer waits during prayer times.

The site was originally a graveyard before being transformed into this mosque, representing a complete change in purpose for the location. Few visitors realize that this space once served a very different function for the community.
