Umrao Khan agreed to help build such a mosque. The same year, a Baitul Mukarram mosque committee was established and 8.3 acres of land between new Dhaka and [[Old Dhaka]] was chosen for the site. At that time, there was a large pond at the present mosque's location. It was known as Paltan pond. The pond was filled up and on 27 January 1960, then president of Pakistan [[Ayub Khan (Field Marshal)|Ayub Khan]] inaugurated the work. Prayers took place for the first time on Friday, 25 January 1963. On 28 March 1975, the [[Government of Bangladesh]] entrusted the management of the mosque to the [[Islamic Foundation Bangladesh]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.kalerkantho.com/online/muslim-world/2021/01/25/998423 |script-title=bn:বায়তুল মোকাররমে প্রথম নামাজ আদায়ের ৫৮ বছর |language=bn |date=25 January 2021 |access-date=6 December 2022 |newspaper=[[Kaler Kantho]] |archive-date=6 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206032344/https://www.kalerkantho.com/online/muslim-world/2021/01/25/998423 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Architecture==

===Exterior design===
The mosque is on a very high platform. The Baitul Mukarram National Mosque's building is eight storied and 99 feet high from the ground level. According to the original plan, the main entrance of the mosque was to be on the eastern side. The 'shaan' on the east is 29,000 square feet with ablution ([[Wudu|Wu'du]]) space on its south and north sides. The absence of a dome on the main building is compensated by the two superficial domed entrance porticoes, one on the south, and the other on the north. The height of these porticoes consists of three [[rabbit's foot]] shaped arches, the middle of which is bigger than the rest.
 
===Interior design===
Two patios (roofless inner courtyard) ensure that enough light and air enter the prayer hall of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque. The prayer niché of the hall is rectangular instead of semi-circular. Excessive ornamentation is avoided throughout the mosque, since minimizing ornamentation is typical of modern architecture.
 
===Garden===
The garden is laid out in a style borrowed heavily from [[Mughal gardens]], however unlike the traditional Mughal gardens which represent the [[Islamic heaven|Islamic Heaven]], the garden does not have the [[Charbagh|Char-Bagh]] system, most likely due to not having enough room for such a garden. The future of this garden is unknown; if the [[Government of Bangladesh|Bangladeshi government]] extends the mosque, it will most likely have to remove the garden.

Baitul Mukarram,[lower-alpha 1] officially Baitul Mukarram National Mosque,[lower-alpha 2][1] is the national mosque of Bangladesh. It is located at the center of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The mosque was completed in 1968.[2][3] It has a capacity of more than 42,000 worshippers.[4]

History[edit | edit source]

An architect's view of Baitul Mukarram

The mosque complex was designed by architect Abdulhusein M. Thariani.[5] On 27 April 1959, Abdul Latif Ibrahim Bawani, owner of then Bawani Jute Mills, held a meeting at his house with G.A. Madani, Haji Abdul Latif Bawani, M.H. Adamji, S. Sattar, Muhammad Sadiq, A.Z.M. Rezai Karim and Major General Umrao Khan.[6] In that meeting he proposed to Major General Khan, then military administrator of East Pakistan, that a grand mosque be built in Dhaka. Umrao Khan agreed to help build such a mosque. The same year, a Baitul Mukarram mosque committee was established and 8.3 acres of land between new Dhaka and Old Dhaka was chosen for the site. At that time, there was a large pond at the present mosque's location. It was known as Paltan pond. The pond was filled up and on 27 January 1960, then president of Pakistan Ayub Khan inaugurated the work. Prayers took place for the first time on Friday, 25 January 1963. On 28 March 1975, the Government of Bangladesh entrusted the management of the mosque to the Islamic Foundation Bangladesh.[7]

The mosque complex includes shops, offices, libraries and parking areas. Unusually, the mosque does not have a dome. In 2008, the mosque was extended, financed by a donation from the government of Saudi Arabia.[8][9]

Architecture[edit | edit source]

The mosque has several modern architectural features whilst preserving the traditional principles of Mughal architecture which has for some time been dominant in the Indian sub-continent.[citation needed] Baitul Mukarram's large cube shape was modeled after that of the Kaaba at Mecca,[5] making it a noticeable structure unlike any other mosque in Bangladesh.

Exterior design[edit | edit source]

The mosque is on a very high platform. The Baitul Mukarram National Mosque's building is eight storied and 99 feet high from the ground level. According to the original plan, the main entrance of the mosque was to be on the eastern side. The 'shaan' on the east is 29,000 square feet with ablution (Wu'du) space on its south and north sides. The absence of a dome on the main building is compensated by the two superficial domed entrance porticoes, one on the south, and the other on the north. The height of these porticoes consists of three rabbit's foot shaped arches, the middle of which is bigger than the rest.

Interior design[edit | edit source]

Two patios (roofless inner courtyard) ensure that enough light and air enter the prayer hall of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque. The prayer niché of the hall is rectangular instead of semi-circular. Excessive ornamentation is avoided throughout the mosque, since minimizing ornamentation is typical of modern architecture.

Garden[edit | edit source]

The garden is laid out in a style borrowed heavily from Mughal gardens, however unlike the traditional Mughal gardens which represent the Islamic Heaven, the garden does not have the Char-Bagh system, most likely due to not having enough room for such a garden. The future of this garden is unknown; if the Bangladeshi government extends the mosque, it will most likely have to remove the garden.
