Momin Mosque
Momin Mosque is located in Akon-bari, in the village of Burirchar, Mathbaria Upazila, under the district of Pirojpur in Bangladesh. The mosque is made of wood and structured without nails by woodworkers and calligraphers. The woodworks are arranged in geometric balance and painted with natural colors. A philanthropist in the village of Burirchar, Momin Uddin Akon, started building this mosque in 1913 by employing twenty-one artisans, and it took seven years to complete the work. In 2003, The (archeological department ) of (Bangladesh government ) recognized it as a national heritage and listed it under the name Momin Mosque for its care and protection. In 2008, the archaeological department started some restoration work on Momin Mosque; however, the restoration work somewhat changed its original appearance.
== History ==
As a young man Mr. Momin Uddin Akon dreamt of building a mosque, as he had to walk a long distance to perform his daily prayers. Momin Uddin visited many mosques in the nation and gathered lots of information about their architecture, including their design and calligraphy. In Bangladesh, most of the mosques are made of bricks or stones, specially those are built in the Mughal period. Influenced by this traditional, Momin Uddin Akon started building a mosque using bricks, manufacturing the bricks in his backyard. Soon afterwards he abandoned the idea of building it with bricks, and decided to build the mosque with wood, as most of the houses (if not all) in the village are made of wood, and the village is full of scenic views with plants, woods, fruits etc. As a matter of fact, most of the designs in the mosque are made of images of leaves, flowers and fruits such as pineapples. These images are carved on fine woods and painted with natural colors. Young Momin Uddin Akon enhanced his knowledge by learning Arabic language, Islamic cultures, Islamic calligraphy, and architectural designs which he tried to blend into his village scenery as well as architectures. Momin Uddin himself lived in a simple village house and practiced a simple life. He employed twenty two artisans mainly from the Swarupkati area in Barisal district, and collected fine woods from Chittagong and Myanmar. All of the plans, layouts, designs, colors and calligraphy were solely directed by Momin Uddin Akon. One of two inscriptions with calligraphic designs is placed over the main entrance, and the other one is fixed over the ''mihrab''. Information about the construction period is carved into the frontal inscription in Bengali and is situated at the right hand side of the entrance.
In the last two decades the mosque has suffered from extensive rain, causing water to deteriorate the color and integrity of the woodwork. To save the mosque, Mohammad Shahidullah, a grandson of the founder Momin Uddin Akon, started writing numerous articles in (national daily news ) and archaeological journals, and then published a book ''(Momin Mosque - Smriti Bismritir Katha)'', which raised awareness about the preservation and protection of the Momin Mosque. As a result, in 2003, this mosque was recognized as a national heritage and was listed as Momin Mosque under the "Antiquities Act 1976" by the (Directorate of Archaeology ).
