Muhammad bin Abdullah Masjid
Mosque being built in Ayodhya, India
The Muhammad bin Abdullah Masjid, also known as the Ayodhya Mosque, is a planned Sunni mosque, not commenced, that is to be located in Dhannipur, in the Ayodhya district of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The site was designated by the Supreme Court of India following its verdict on the Ayodhya dispute case that allocated land previously used for a mosque to be used for a Hindu temple.
The construction of the mosque and associated complex is managed by the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) trust. The proposed mosque is almost 22 kilometres (14 mi) away from the Ram Mandir, a Hindu temple, the former site of its predecessor, the Babri Masjid. Dhannipur is a hamlet located in Sohawal tehsil.
As of September 2026, construction of the mosque had not commenced.
Construction
The project was formally launched by the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board by hoisting the national flag and planting saplings on Republic Day of 2021. In addition to the mosque, the complex is planned to include a hospital, museum, library, a community kitchen which can feed a maximum of 2,000 people per day, and an Indo-Islamic cultural research centre and publication house.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the planned mosque was held on 26 January 2021. The planned mosque was officially named as Ahmadullah Shah Mosque, as an honour to the leader of Indian Independence war of 1857, Maulavi Ahmadullah Shah, but was later renamed in honour of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

Why this record matters
“Muhammad bin Abdullah Masjid” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Muhammad, Abdullah and Masjid provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105085585. Authority coordinates are 26.762, 82.002. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2026, 2021 and 1857.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
