Sat Tad Masjid (Marathi: सात ताड मशीद) is a mosque situated in Mandvi, Mumbai, India.[1] The mosque abuts the Masjid railway station, lending the station its name.[2]

Sat Tad Masjid derives its name from seven brab trees (Borassus flabellifer) that grew in its vicinity.[3]

History

Sat Tad Masjid was used as the Jama Mosque of Bombay (now Mumbai) from 1770 to 1802, when the present Jama Mosque, Mumbai was under construction.[4] The mosque had an annual income of Rs. 11,000 in the year 1901.[5]

According to a panel affixed outside the SatTad Masjid recording the history of the mosque, the 1944 Bombay explosion that occurred in Victoria Dock in 1944 caused extensive damage to the mosque's structure, necessitating its reconstruction. Regular congregational prayers again commenced in 1951.

Administration

Sat Tad Masjid is administered by the Sat Tad Kadim Mosque Trust.[6] The Trust was granted 86.96 square meters land adjoining the mosque on lease by the Collector of Bombay in 1944.[7]
