Sagamihara Eidgah Jame Mosque in Kanagawa Prefecture is a mosque that
blends in with the natural beauty of Japan. The mosque, known as Tana
Masalla for more than a decade, became a full-fledged mosque by the end of
2023.
The mosque was built on its own land with the efforts of dedicated
devotees. There is also a huge car parking facility. The mosque is
managed mainly by Bangladeshis. Pakistani and Sri Lankan brothers are
also standing shoulder to shoulder.
Currently
Sagamihara is home to a significant number of Muslims. Most of them are
Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Sri Lankan. The city has several mosques and
musallas. Sagamihara Mosque is one of the oldest names among them. After
the new construction of the mosque, a separate place for women's prayer
and ablution, a room for the Imams was added. Apart from this, there are
other facilities including kitchen.
The mosque authorities did not stop at building it. They are working on
the Islamic education of children to sow the seeds of Islam in the new
generation. Efforts are also underway to build an academy where not only
children but also adults and non-Muslims can get more initiation and
research about Islam. Everyone is requested to pray to Allah
Subhanatalah to make this effort of the zealots successful.
