Pagla Mosque (Bengali: পাগলা মসজিদ, romanized: Pāglā Môsjid; officially Pagla Mosque and Islamic Complex) is an old mosque in Bangladesh located on the banks of the Narsunda River in Harua, Kishoreganj.[1][2][3][4] This three-storied mosque has a towering minaret. The mosque complex is established on 88 parcent of 3 acres land.[5] Since 10 May 1979, the State Waqf has been managing the mosque.[1]
Legends
[edit]According to a legend, a spiritual personality named Dewan Zil Kadar Khan alias Zil Kadar Pagla Sahib, a descendant of Isa Khan of the Haibatnagar Zamindar family in the region, used to pray on the banks of the Narsunda River. Later, a mosque was built at the site. The mosque came to be known as the Pagla Mosque after Zil Kadar Pagla.[1] According to another legend, the mosque was named after the Pagla Bibi of the then Haibatnagar Zamindar family of Kishoreganj.[1]
