Kakrail Mosque

Kakrail Mosque, Islamic prayer center in Ramna district, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Description

Kakrail Mosque is an Islamic prayer house in Ramna district featuring triangular carvings near the roof and square pillars throughout its interior. The building has wide verandas on three sides and maintains large ablution facilities designed to serve several hundred people for ritual washing.

History

This place began as a simple tin structure built by Ramna Park gardeners and later became the headquarters of the Tablighi Jamaat movement in Bangladesh from 1952 onwards. That shift transformed it from a modest local site into a significant religious hub for an organized spiritual movement.

Culture

Two distinct factions, Aalami Sura and Nizamuddin, oversee this place according to an alternating schedule, reflecting different approaches within the local Islamic community. Visitors can observe how these separate traditions shape the daily rhythm of worship and activities.

Practical

The prayer house remains continuously accessible with no entrance doors, making it easy to enter or leave at any time when visitors arrive. The extensive ablution facilities are arranged to allow large numbers of people to perform their ritual washings simultaneously.

Did you know?

The western wall of this building displays a rippling wave-like design that makes its structure visually distinctive among other mosques in the area. This architectural detail is a curious feature that casual visitors often overlook during their time here.
