Abstract
The mosque is a place where the Muslims offer their players and perform their religious activities. The emergence of mosque for the Muslim community religiously connected with the fundamental beliefs of offering prayers, which is one of the basic pillars of the Islāmic values. The current study is based on the documentary and content analysis. The key objective of the study was to explore the role of mosque in the past and present era. It was investigated how mosque played its role in promoting social awareness, religious fervor, political cognizance, and cultural values in the past and present days. The findings of the study reveal that, in the past, the mosque played a vital role not only in promoting religious and spiritual education but also in developing cultural, ethical, social, and political awareness amongst masses. It also worked as platform to develop social reforms. However, unfortunately, the role of the mosque is reduced these days. Now-a-days, the mosque is just confined to a place for worship only. Therefore, in view of the findings of the study, the government is recommended to design effective policies to restore the previous role of the mosque that it played in the Islāmic history to educate the society in a well-planned manner.
