Masjid-e-Bilal (Bilal Mosque)
Overview
The mosque sits on the corner of a traffic intersection on a popular thoroughfare of southern part of the city. Prestige Group developers undertook the construction which began in 2010 and was completed recently. At that time Janab Alhaj Habeeb Khan Saheb was president of this committee from 2004 to 2015. The mosque constructed at a cost of Rs. 200,000,000 provides space for 6,500 people to pray at a time. A considerable portion of the cost was contributed by the Prestige Group.
The four story mosque was constructed on a portion of the 0.59-hectare (1.45-acre) Bilal Eidgah. The land was purchased in 1990 for the purpose of Eid congregation ground at a price of ₹ 10,000,000 from the Bangalore Development Authority. Local MLA and Ex transport Minister and Ex Home Minister of Karnataka Ramalinga Reddy helped the community to acquire the place.
Present president Alhaj Ashraf Saheb and secretary Alhaj Faiyaz Saheb told the Islamic Voice that the mosque occupies nearly 3,900 square metres (42,000 sq ft). The Eidgah ground provides parking space for nearly 500 vehicles.
Hazrath Maulana Mohammed Shakirulla Saheb is the imam and Khatib of the mosque. Maulana Qasim Qureshi was the chief guest at the mosque's 2015 inauguration.
