Jamia Islamia Talimuddin, Dabhel . . One of the highlights of our trip to India was visiting the many Madrasas/Darul Ulooms (Islamic Seminaries). Throughout the state of Gujarat, you’ll find well known and established Madrasas as well as the smaller local ones. . . This one in particular was located within the small town of Dabhel famous for its provision in Islamic Education. The small town is at the perfect location as it’s only 20KM away from Arabian Sea, and 25-30KM from the nearest big city, Surat. . . I was fortunate to meet some of the students and teachers there who were all ever so friendly and helpful. A lot of the Madrasas we visited took us on a tour and even offered us to stay and eat. There were a lot of students from all over India who rarely returned home throughout the year due to their studies. It was nice and sad to meet them. . . The one thing that really stood out to me was the architecture and design of the Madrasa buildings. I was told that they started off many many years ago in small houses and soon developed to become what they are today. Hopefully I’ll be posting more pictures of other Madrasas in the course of the next few days. . . If you’re interested in visiting, let me know and I can give you contact details for a guide who will be more than happy to take you around. . . #India #mumbai #delhi #islam #travel #explorer #instagram #instaphoto #architecture #design #blogger #traveller #hhwt #hhwttraveller #muslimsgotravel #mosquesaroundtheworld #tourism #adventure #wanderlust #rander #travelgram #travelblogger #dabhel #traveltheworld #explore #gujarat #beautiful #minaret #masjid #mosque

Masjid Ali, Rander, Gujarat, India . . The city of Rander was not only known for its many Mosques, but also grew in popularity amongst Muslims visitors from around the world due to the notables buried here. . . Some of the most respectable and educated scholars rest in this city’s graveyard, making it a hotspot for students worldwide. . . Our friendly guide, whilst taking us around the small city, told us that a scholar from the north of India migrated to Rander after hearing that a Tābi’ Tabi’ī* was buried here. The scholars name was Mawlana Asghar Hussain. . . All this attests to the fact that Rander is not only home to some of the earliest Muslims in India, but also to some of the earliest Muslims in Islamic history. . . * A Tābi’ Tābi’ī is a third generation Muslim who lived after the demise of the Prophet Muhammad SAW . . #India #mumbai #delhi #islam #travel #explorer #instagram #instaphoto #architecture #design #blogger #traveller #hhwt #hhwttraveller #muslimsgotravel #mosquesaroundtheworld #tourism #adventure #wanderlust #rander #travelgram #travelblogger #traveladdict #traveltheworld #explore #gujarat #beautiful #minaret #masjid #mosque

Nayatwada Badi Summa Masjid, Rander, Gujarat, India . . Established in 1912, this Mosque is just one of many in the city Rander. . . Rander is known to have over 60 mosques in less than a 1KM radius and was therefore dubbed by many to be ‘the city of Mosques’. . . What’s more, many notable traditional scholars and Tabi’een (those who came after the generation of the Prophet PBUH) are known to be buried in the city in a graveyard not far from this Mosque. . . This Mosque in particular has such intricate designs on the exterior, that I fail to come up with words to describe it. It’s blue colour fits so well with the colours of India, and it’s patterns do not fail to remind you that you’re in India. . . #India #mumbai #delhi #islam #travel #explorer #instagram #instaphoto #architecture #design #blogger #traveller #hhwt #hhwttraveller #muslimsgotravel #mosquesaroundtheworld #tourism #adventure #wanderlust #rander #travelgram #travelblogger #traveladdict #traveltheworld #explore #gujarat #beautiful #minaret #masjid #mosque

Muhammedi Masjid, Bharuch, Gujarat, India . . In a bustling city centre atmosphere, you’ll find this well built Masjid. Next door, we visited a small Restuarant called Islami which served some of the very best prawn curry we had tried. A very humble endeavour indeed, as the money raised by the restaurants in used to fund the mosque. I found the concept quite refreshing, as it’s usually the case in many western countries to rely solely upon donations for running a mosque. A friend once mentioned to me that a self sustainable way to fund the running of a mosque is the way forward and it’s definitely something these guys are doing. . . Just my musings... . . On a side note, the state of Gujarat I think is under visited. People tend to usually flock off to Mumbai and Delhi or even maybe south to Kerala. However, a stop in Gujarat is definitely worth it. Filled with greenery, a warm climate all year round and many sites to visit, be sure to visit the state if you plan to come India. . . . #india #mumbai #delhi #islam #travel #explorer #instagram #instaphoto #instatravel #restaurant #beauty #traveller #hhwt #hhwttraveller #muslimsgotravel #architecture #bharuch #travelguide #wanderlust #vacation #travelgram #travelblogger #food #traveltheworld #explore #holiday #gujarat #minaret #masjid #mosque
