QUEENSTOWN MASJID: CONSTRUCTION ON THE MOVE

A couple of months ago we did had a discussion on this Masjid on GNI, searching for that thread, without success so just a follow up, would have liked to pin this pic there.


Masjid superstructure: The superstructure for the new Queenstown Jama Masjid on Church Street is now in place. The Masjid was the first Muslim place of worship to be built in Georgetown, back in 1895, according to caribbeanmuslims.com. It was dismantled in 2007.

I Know that many brothers, communities and Jamaats had made contributions and always wondering what taking so long with the project. This Stabroek News Pix shows that the ball is rolling.

Queenstown Jama Masjid was founded by the Afghan community. "The Jamaat compromised Muslims from India and Afghanistan; the latter apparently arrived in this country via India" (Centennial Magazine: 9). Ayube Khan writes, " Afghan and Indian Muslims living in this area laid the foundation for the Masjid" (Centennial: 31). A Muslim, Badrudeen Yankana, a grandson of Goolam-uddin reported that the land where the Masjid was built was purchased by his grand father, who was an Afghan butcher and cab driver" (Centennial: 31).

I trust that these flaws were corrected.....


I was made to understand that there were some foundation flaws which had to be corrected, that is, 105 Piles were driven in the wrong places. Then they had to put down another 105 piles and that took some time and money, not aware of any structural faults with the steel frames.
