Malik Dinar Mosque

Malik Dinar Mosque is an Islamic prayer house near Thalangara beach on the western side of Kasaragod, featuring Kerala architectural elements without domes. The building can accommodate around 2000 worshippers and serves as a religious center for daily prayers and gatherings.

This prayer house was founded in the 7th century and is connected to the arrival of Malik Ibn Dinar, an early spreader of Islam in India through trade contacts. The site developed into an important religious center for the Muslim community of the region.

This mosque serves as a gathering place for the local community, especially during the Malik Dinar Uroos festival in Muharram when people come together to raise flags and share meals. These celebrations shape the religious life of the region and draw worshippers from surrounding areas.

The mosque is located near the railway station and is easily accessible for visitors, who should dress appropriately and enter the building respectfully. Prayers take place throughout the day, so it is advisable to check prayer times before visiting.

The grave of Malik Ibn Muhammad, a descendant of the namesake saint, is located here and draws pilgrims from across Kerala. Many people visit this shrine to feel spiritually connected and offer their prayers.
