Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, National mosque in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Baitul Mukarram is a mosque in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with a large cube-shaped main building modeled after the Kaaba in Mecca. It has no dome; instead, two small domed entrance porticoes on the north and south sides compensate. The eight-storey building stands 99 feet high on a raised platform, with a projecting entrance block topped by raised Arabic script reading "الله أكبر" and three arches, the middle one larger. Inside, a prayer hall is formed by rows of pointed arches on thick rectangular pillars, and two roofless courtyards let in light and air.

In 1959 Abdul Latif Ibrahim Bawani proposed a grand mosque for Dhaka to Major General Umrao Khan, then military administrator of East Pakistan; a committee was formed and 8.3 acres between Old and New Dhaka, then occupied by Paltan pond, were chosen. The pond was filled and President Ayub Khan inaugurated the work on 27 January 1960. Architect Abdulhusein M. Thariani designed the complex, prayers were first held on Friday 25 January 1963, and the mosque was completed in 1968. In 2008 it was extended with funding from the Saudi government.

The mosque's name means "House of the Honored" in Arabic. Its ground floor holds shops and a market, while prayer takes place on the upper floors. On Fridays and during Ramadan, crowds fill the prayer halls and the three courtyards, and an Islamic book fair draws many visitors.

The complex sits in central Dhaka and includes, alongside the prayer rooms, a library and classrooms for Islamic studies and community programs. Access is usually straightforward outside prayer times, but it can get crowded during peak hours.

The mosque has no dome on its main building; the architects compensated with two small domed entrance porticoes, one on the north and one on the south side. Its large cube shape was modelled on the Kaaba in Mecca, which sets it apart from other mosques in Bangladesh.
