Etymology
The Sat Tad Masjid means "mosque of the seven brab trees" (Borassus flabellifer), referring to a group of palms that grew in its vicinity.[2]
History
The Sat Tad Masjid was used as the Friday mosque of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) from 1770 to 1802, when the present Jama Mosque at Janjikar Street near Crawford Market was under construction.[3] The mosque had an annual income of Rs. 11,000 in the year 1901.[4]
According to a panel affixed outside the Sat Tad Masjid recording the history of the mosque, the explosion that occurred in Victoria Dock in 1944 caused extensive damage to the mosque's structure, necessitating its reconstruction. As per unpublished records of the masjid, Regular congregational prayers again commenced in 1951.[citation needed]
