Masjid-e-Noor (Bengali: মসজিদে নূর) is a congregational mosque located in the Daripara area of Baksiganj Upazila, Jamalpur, at the entrance of the town on the right side of the Jamalpur-Baksiganj road. Following the Ottoman architectural style of Turkey, the structure is made of marble and has a capacity of about 2,500.[1] The two-storied, boundary-enclosed mosque was built with the personal funding of local Mahbubul Haque Chishti. The official inauguration of the mosque took place on May 11, 2018.[2][3]
Masjid-e-Noor is primarily a two-story building.[2] It is connected to the main road by a 500-meter access road.[1] Besides being surrounded by flower and fruit gardens,[4] the mosque campus also contains car parking, a retirement home, an orphanage, and a madrasa. The ablution area is outside the main mosque.[1] The open spaces of the structure, enclosed by boundary walls, are filled with pine trees.[2][4] Chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the main prayer hall. The mosque, including the lower main prayer hall and the second floor, can accommodate up to two and a half thousand people praying together.[4]
