As reported by Reuters, a senior official in the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation said that work on a massive mosque in Ayodhya will start in May. Three to four years will probably be needed to finish. The details surfaced on the day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to lead the Ram Temple's consecration ritual. The information came from Haji Arfat Shaikh, the head of the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) development committee, which is in charge of the mosque project. According to him, a website dedicated to crowdsourcing would probably be established in order to raise money for the proposed mosque.
The prophet Muhammad will be honored with the mosque's name, "Masjid Muhammed bin Abdullah". "Our effort has been to end and convert enmity, hatred among people into love for each other...irrespective of whether or not you accept the Supreme Court judgement," stated Shaikh. "All this fighting will stop if we teach good things to our children and people," he added.
In 2019, the Indian Supreme Court ruled that the 1992 demolition of the Babri Mosque was illegal. Nonetheless, it decided that the Babri Mosque was topped by a non-Islamic building. It declared that a mosque would be erected on a plot of land given to the Muslim side, and that a temple would be erected on the disputed territory.
The IICF secretary, Athar Hussain, stated that the mosque has been postponed because they intended to incorporate more conventional features into the architecture. While the construction of the temple proceeded as planned, Muslim organizations encountered difficulties in procuring finances and starting work at a remote location some 25 kilometers (15 miles) away.
The 1992 destruction of the Babri Mosque was ruled illegal by the Indian Supreme Court in 2019. Nonetheless, the court recognized that the Babri Mosque was topped by a non-Islamic building. The contested land would be given to Muslims for the construction of a mosque on an other plot, and the court decided to use the evidence to grant the Muslims a temple dedicated to Lord Ram.
