Shahidi Masjid (Bengali: শহীদী মসজিদ, Arabic: المسجد الشهيدي) is a two-storey mosque of Kishoreganj District, Bangladesh. It has a 5-storey minaret attached to it. ^[1]

History[]

The age of the mosque is unknown, and the reason for its name being Shahidi (Martyr) is shrouded in mystery. Some have presumed that it was named after an event in which the worshippers at this mosque were attacked. On the other hand, the mosque is known as Soudi Mosjid in the local dialect.^[2]

In 1938, Athar Ali Bengali arrived to Kishoreganj where he rebuilt the mosque and served as an imam there. In 1945, Ali established the Jamia Emdadia Madrasa in Kishoreganj on the premises of the mosque. He established the 5-storey minaret in 1957.^[3]
