Katabon Mosque
Katabon Mosque (Bengali: কাটাবন মসজিদ) in Shahbag, Dhaka is a center for Muslim missionaries in Bangladesh. It houses the Bangladesh Masjid Mission (Bangladesh Mosque Mission) and is officially named as the "Bangladesh Masjid Mission Complex Central Mosque".[1][2][3] It is founded at the stables of Dhaka Nawab Family.[4]
The mosque houses the Islamic Economics Research Bureau, which works to "synergize the intellectual capabilities of the modern day professionals, academicians, and students of Islamic banking and finance".[5] Other Islamic organizations like Islam Prochar Samity (Association for Preaching Islam), Hizb ut-Tahrir Bangladesh and Liberated Youth, are around the corner.[6][7][8] Many of these Islamic organizations are at the front line of preaching of orthodox Islam in Bangladesh.[9]
There has been claims to associate the Masjid Mission with Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh.[10] Muslim protesters gather around the mosque,[11] while students of neighboring University of Dhaka has protested against the activities conducted at the mosque.[12]
