Al-Sadiq Mosque, Islamic prayer center in Bahawalpur, Pakistan.
Al-Sadiq Mosque is a prayer center in Bahawalpur featuring white marble, several minarets, spacious prayer halls, and a large central courtyard. These spaces accommodate large numbers of worshippers during religious gatherings and celebrations.
The foundation stone was laid by Noor Muhammad Maharvi, and the building underwent major renovation in 1935 under Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan Abbasi. This work established the form and appearance that visitors see today.
The mosque draws on architectural principles from major South Asian prayer centers and blends them with regional choices like white marble cladding. Visitors notice a mix of classical mosque design and local craftsmanship that shapes how the place looks and feels.
The courtyard and prayer halls are easy to navigate with clear paths for visitors of all mobility levels. It helps to check opening times beforehand since prayer hours affect access and movement through the space.
The ground floor includes shops that generate rental income used to fund ongoing maintenance of the building. This self-financing approach through commercial space is an uncommon feature in prayer centers.
