Pagla Mosque is located on the banks of Narsunda river in Harua area of Kishoreganj district headquarters. The historic Pagla Mosque is about two hundreds years old. This insane mosque with three storey building was built on 3 acres and 6 percent land. The roof of the three-storey building has three large domes and a minaret equal to the five-storey building.
It is said that many years ago, a spiritual devotee sat on a mat, floated in the river Narsunda and took up position in this place of the mosque. Gradually many fans gathered around him. After the death of the spiritual saint, he is buried there. Later a mosque was built next to his grave and it came to be known as Pagla Mosque.
The Pagla Mosque is not only a religious place of worship for Muslims, but also for other religions. In a word, it is a universal religious center for people of all faiths.
There is an advantage for thousands of worshipers to stand together and perform prayers, and there is also an advantage for women to perform prayers.
This historic Pagla Mosque in Kishoreganj has a special spiritual significance. People believe that if someone donates something to a mad mosque with sincere intention, then Allah fulfills all the desires of his mind.
