In a village in the Indian state of Gujarat, the remains of a 14-hundred-year-old mosque were discovered.
Remains of a 14 hundred year old mosque have been discovered in the village of Ghogha of Bhaungar in the Indian state of Gujarat, whose Qibla is towards Bait al-Maqdis. This mosque is in a very dilapidated condition. About 25 people can pray together inside the mosque. This mosque has 12 pillars on which the roof of the mosque is built. The dome above the roof and the walls of the mosque are also carved and the inscription "Bismillah" in Arabic on the mihrab of the mosque is from the same period.
According to the researchers, this mosque may be the only mosque on the face of the earth after Masjid al-Haram, Masjid al-Nabawi and Masjid al-Aqsa in terms of its orthodoxy. In the early 7th century, the first Arab traders landed here by sea and then they built this mosque here. The location of Mecca was Jerusalem. This ancient mosque is locally known as Juni Masjid.
This mosque is similar to all other mosques in India, whose arches face Mecca. This ancient mosque still has the oldest Arabic inscription and today the mosque is under the supervision of Barwada Tanjum.
