The Jhalra Mosque, also known as the Jhalra Jama Masjid, is a Friday mosque[1] in the Madhusudanpur Nand Urf Jhalra village, in the Bijnor district of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Construction of the mosque commenced in 1858 and was completed in 1875, during the British Colonial period.[2] The mosque was rebuilt by Maulana Qari Furkan in 2004.
History
[edit]Hafiz Abdul Salam, the son of Abdul Rehman Mansuri, contracted Maulana Qari Furqan of Jhandapur to rebuild this mosque. Construction was started in 2004[3][4] at a cost of 10 lakh rupees. People of Jhalri village and Naseeri village come to this mosque to offer Jumme ki Namaz because this is the only mosque where Friday Namaz is offered.
