Source-derived summary

The Zebun Nessa Mosque (Bengali: জেবুন নেসা মসজিদ) is an urban mosque which is located in Ashulia on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The mosque is an architectural project designed by Studio Morphogenesis under the direction of Saiqa Iqbal Meghna. Completed in 2023, the mosque which covers an area of 6060 square feet was commissioned by a local textile factory owner Mohd Idris Shakur to honor his late mother.

History

The mosque was commissioned by the land owner Mohd Idris Shakur, managing director of IDS Group, to honor his late mother, Zebun Nessa, and provide a sanctuary for the workers of Fashion Forum Limited, a nearby industrial complex under his ownership. Its construction work was formally started in 2022. The mosque was designed by Studio Morphogenesis under the leadership of Saiqa Iqbal Meghna, with the construction ending in 2023.

Architecture

The mosque was designed in a pink concrete in order to soften the harsh industrial surroundings along with reflecting the traditional terracotta tones of Bengal's Mughal architecture. On the exterior, red cement and broken bricks are organized to form mosaic-style flooring and sloping surface. The mosque which is situated at the bank of a lake is elevated on a high plinth, inspired by vernacular structures built on mounds to protect against flooding. It is a square base surrounding a circular prayer hall.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “mosque in Dhaka, Bangladesh” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q133864524. Authority coordinates are 23.900, 90.327. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023 and 2022.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
