Ghulam Nabi Azad

Former Chief Minister and Chairman Democratic Azad Party (DPAP) Ghulam Nabi Azad today prayed for peace and unity in the country during his visit to India’s first-ever and oldest mosque.

According to a press release the Perumal Mosque is standing for over 1500 years. The Imam revealed that it was constructed during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Accompanied by committee members and the mosque’s Imam, Azad offered special two rakat namaz, creating a unique blend of history, serenity, and spirituality. “The mosque, still actively in use, attracts a congregation exceeding 3000. Beyond its architectural marvel, this Mosque holds immense religious and historical significance. Functioning as both a Jama Masjid and a daily prayer space, it continues to draw people from all religions due to its rich historic importance. A place where history and spirituality seamlessly converge,” the press release said.

Azad, after this soul-stirring experience, offered prayers for peace, unity and prosperity. The Perumal Mosque stands as a beacon, symbolising the harmonious coexistence of history and spirituality, the press release said.
