Al-Jamia Al-Islamia Barokut was established in 1931 in the Golapganj Upazila district in Sylhet.

The current room used for prayer in the Jamia is not large enough to accommodate the increasing number of students as well as the local people.

Our late grandfather, the former principal of the madrasah, Shaykhul Hadith Maulana Hussain Ahmad Barokuti (Rah.) had purchased a piece of land nearby upon which to construct a purpose-built Masjid. Qaddarallah, he was not able to fulfil this intention during his lifetime. May Allah accept his Niyyah and grant him the reward of Sadaqah Jariyah. Aameen.

Our eldest uncle (Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Barokuti), a current teacher at the Jamia, along with the current principal (Maulana Abdul Bari), have now intended to fulfil this noble intention of building a Masjid on this land. But due to lack of funds, work is yet to be started.

The initial plan for the proposed Masjid is a single storey building which will cater for approximately 600 people on the ground floor alone. Future plans will include building more storeys on top.

We aim to start off with raising £100, 000 enough to build the ground floor halls and amenities.

In this blessed month of Ramadhan, a month in which 1 deed will be multiplied by 70, and if it’s Laylatul Qadr then better than a 1000 months! please dig deep into your hearts and pockets, donate and help my siblings and I to raise enough funds to get this project started, in memory of our late grandfather (Rah.).

Jazakumullahu Khayra. Aameen.
