Masjid-e-Noor (Bengali: মসজিদে নূর) is a congregational mosque established in 1284 Bengali year.[1] The site is located in Rupsa North Union of Faridganj Upazila, in the Rupsha Bazar area, at the boundary of the zamindar house, next to the family cemetery of the zamindar house.[2] Since it was built by the Rupsha zamindar, it is more commonly known as the Rupsha Zamindar Estate Mosque.[3][2] It was constructed at the initiative of Mohammad Ghazi Chowdhury at a cost of twenty thousand rupees. Over time, the mosque has been expanded three times. Currently, a foundation formed in the name of the mosque's founder manages the mosque.[2]
In terms of length and width, the prayer hall of the mosque is 47x40 feet. Including the boundary, the mosque covers an area of 53x30 feet, which includes a spacious courtyard, accommodating additional people during Friday prayers and Ramadan.[3] A huge pond with a stepped ghat on the western side is used for ablution. Due to population growth, the main building of the mosque has been expanded three times.[1]
