BARASAT: Partha Sarathi Bose from Nabapally at Barasat spent a sleepless night time at the eve of Eid. He was busy cleaning and decorating the mosque subsequent door that the Bose circle of relatives owns. The Amanati Mosque, between Hridaypur and Barasat, is a singular image of communal harmony within the house.
A writing in Bengali on the front of the twotiered construction reads ‘probhu ke pronam karo’ (pray to the almighty) — and that claims it all. The phrase ‘probhu’ is generally used in Churches whilst ‘pronam’ is used in temples.
The Boses, who had belongings in Bangladesh’s Khulna, exchanged it for a plot in Nabapally in 1960.
“After taking ownership of the land, our ancestors took inventory of the dilapidated mosque that stood on it. My grandfather would say one will have to all the time broaden any more or less non secular place instead of destroying it. Since then, the Amanati Mosque has been evolved into a construction that pulls people from all religions,” Bose said.
“Every evening, many locals — almost all of whom are Hindu — come to the mosque to pray,” said Akhtar Ali, the Imam of the mosque.
Nabapally, the realm where the mosque is positioned, has a small Muslim inhabitants. But it also attracts devotees from spaces nearby, like Kora, Kazipara and Chandanpur.
Bablu Iqbal, who reached Amanati Mosque for Eid prayers early on Saturday morning, said, “Throughout this Ramzan month, we've come right here from Chandanpur to offer namaz everyday. We have a mosque in our locality too, but this one has a unique place in our circle of relatives. So we come right here once a year with our kids.”
“The place is reasonably small, but the people listed here are large-hearted. So we consider this place to be our own mosque,” said Momin Ali Mondal, who cycles about seven km from Kazipara to pray at Amanati Mosque.
Bose’s father Dipak has spent a lot of his time cleaning the mosque each day. “My father and elder brothers had evolved the mosque. So I attempt to commit as much of my time as I will be able to to stay the place clean and smartly maintained. I'm hoping my son has also grown an affinity for this mosque. It is our circle of relatives satisfaction,” he said.
Bose, who also fasts all through Ramzan, said, “After daily namaz all through this time, anyone offers Iftar. But at the 27th day, my Muslim brothers have given me the chance to offer Iftar.”
Mitu Das, a schoolteacher and resident of the realm, said, “We by no means consider it a spiritual place just for Muslims. From a few years, we all know this as our place for prayer too.”
