Amid the large-scale preparations for the 'pran pratishtha' (consecration) of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF), tasked with building a proposed mosque in Dhannipur village, has said it will now adopt a different path for the construction.

In the landmark Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case in 2019, the Supreme Court, while giving orders for the construction of Ram Temple, ordered five acres of land to be allocated for building a mosque in Dhannipur.

But due to a lack of funds and administrative delays, the work on building a mosque in Dhannipur has not yet started. In such a situation, IICF has said that it will now start a campaign like Ram Temple for the construction of the mosque.

Haji Arafat Shaikh, the new head of the mosque development committee appointed in November last year, came forward to steer the development of the new mosque. Shaikh is a BJP leader from Maharashtra.

Zafar Ahmed Farooq, the president of IICF, said a trust was formed to take forward the construction work of the mosque in Ayodhya. But Shaikh objected to a proposal to name the mosque Masjid-e-Ayodhya and changed it to Mohammad Bin Abdullah mosque.

The plan, made for an area of 4,500 square metres, included space for a hospital, a community kitchen, a library and a research centre along with the mosque. It is believed that the foundation intends to build India's largest mosque "which will be even better than the Taj Mahal".

Apart from this, "the world's largest Quran will be kept in the mosque, which will be about 21 feet". The mosque will also be India's first mosque with five minarets. Arrangements are also being made to organise a water and light show at the time of 'azaan'.

The lighting arrangements in the mosque will be made in such a way that the lights will be switched on automatically in the evening and go off in the morning. A huge aquarium will be installed in the mosque for the people, which will be like Dubai's aquarium.

The mosque premises will also have amenities for locals, including a medical college, a cancer hospital and a community centre.
