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

Kakrail Mosque is a three-storey mosque in the Kakrail area of Ramna, Dhaka, near Ramna Park. It was designed by engineer Haji Abdul Muqit, with triangular carvings next to the roof, square pillars, and a rippling west wall. Wide verandas run along three sides, and two pond-like ablution houses on the south and north sides can serve hundreds of people at once.

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.

The mosque is also called Malwali Mosque, after the malis, the gardeners of nearby Ramna Park who are said to have built its first tin version. Since 1952 it has served as the Bangladesh markaz of Tablighi Jamaat, and preachers arriving from abroad for the Tongi Ijtema stay here for some days.

The mosque has no entrance doors and stays open day and night. Two pond-like basins on the south and north sides let hundreds of people perform wudu at once, and modern washing points stand outside the building. A two-storey block for toilets and bathrooms is a short distance to the north.

The mosque has no entrance doors, so it stays open day and night. A two-storey block a short distance to its north holds the toilets and bathrooms, separate from the prayer hall and the ablution pools.
