SLC-S33/W3 | Beyond the Map : Then & Now

Assalamualaikum, how are you all? I hope you are all doing well. So today I have come to discuss Aftabganj Jame Mosque with you. Anyway, first of all, let me tell you where this place is located. It is located next to the Aftabganj market. So, you all probably know where Dinajpur city is and where Swapnapuri city is. So, if you are coming from Dinajpur, then this Aftabganj Jame Mosque is located 60 to 65 kilometers from Dinajpur. If you come to Aftabganj, follow this location and you will see the mosque. If you know Swapnapuri, then this mosque is located next to Swapnapuri.

So people come from far and wide to see this mosque and I visited this mosque about 2 to 1 month ago. This mosque is so beautiful and the designs are so beautifully made that anyone who sees it will be impressed. I mean, crores of taka have been spent on this mosque. Anyway, I had a great desire to visit this mosque and I fulfilled that. So I visited this mosque two months ago.

There is a lot of history to tell about the history of this mosque. But according to my knowledge, I will present to you what I know. So the owner of Swapnapuri built the mosque, but he built this mosque and according to my knowledge, this mosque is built just like the Taj Mahal and is made to see the good side of people. Even when we go to foreign countries, we are shown such beautiful mosques or we see the Taj Mahal. But this mosque is also the same. Anyway, this mosque has been built for a long time and this mosque has been built on almost one bigha. And here, more than 5 thousand people can pray.

This mosque was not so beautiful. Due to the maintenance of this mosque for years, this place has become very famous and people come from far away to see this mosque and it is such a beautiful mosque that it is beyond words. So those who have visited this mosque will definitely know how beautiful this mosque is. But there is a market in front of this mosque and many people gather in the market. And because more people come to see this mosque, the mosque and the place have become very popular. Now everyone knows this place and everyone can tell where this mosque is located by hearing the name of the mosque.

So I visited this mosque and I really liked it and I really wanted to visit this mosque. And I will see the entire mosque from the beginning to the end. So I fulfilled that hope and after seeing the mosque I really liked it. And such a beautiful mosque has been built in this market which is fascinating. I have been able to learn a lot from here. But it is that such a beautiful mosque has been built in our Dinajpur region. But if this mosque was in our neighborhood, I would have liked it very much. A lot of money has been spent on the mosque and every design has been extraordinary. It would have been very good to have such a mosque in our area.

It is important for us to remember this mosque for generations. Because this mosque was not built in a day or two years, this mosque was built after working here for years. But such a beautiful mosque has been built that we need to remember it for the future. If future generations can build another mosque like this, then this mosque needs to be remembered. Because such a mosque is not found anywhere. We will all remember it and this mosque will be useful to us in future generations. Many people can learn from seeing the mosque from here and many things can happen from the mosque. Anyway, overall, the mosque seemed amazing. I bid farewell here today.
