Punjab Mosque Reclaimed: First Azan in 76 Years

Punjab Mosque Reclaimed: First Azan in 76 Years

In a village in Punjab, a mosque that had been empty for 76 years was given back to the Muslim community.

After the partition of India in 1947, the mosque was left empty, and later used as a school.

Now that the school has closed, the village decided to return the mosque to its original purpose.

The first call to prayer, called the azan, was recited by H K Pathan.

The Maharashtra College Alumni Association played a key role by helping and distributing aid in the village.

This event is a historic moment for the community.
