ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTER, HYDERABAD.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Hyderabad Being ruled by the Asaf Jahi dynasty, it came to be known as the “city of Nizams”. As this
dynasty crumpled, the Mughals took over and brought about a sea change in the cultural outlook of the
people. Today Hyderabad flourishes in its rich cultural history.
Hyderabad, former princely state of south-central India that was centred on the city of Hyderabad. It was
founded by Nizam al-Mulk , who was intermittently viceroy of the Deccan under the Mughal emperors
from 1713 to 1721 and who resumed the post again under the title Aṣaf Jah in 1724. At that time he became
virtually independent and founded the dynasty of the nizams (rulers) of Hyderabad.
Hyderabad being the capital of Telangana was used to be one of princely states which did not surrender to
Indian government even after independence till 1950 this shows the influence of Nizam rulers in this area.
Despite of being a place where fluoresced the beauty of Islam there no proper places where we can
exhibited there culture Islam holistically.

Despite of being tourist attraction for its beauty of Nizam architecture there no places where people can
understand Islam in a better way. According to the Telangana Social Development Report- 2017, about half
of the total population of Muslims in the state is residing in Hyderabad district. Of the 44.65 lakh Muslims
in Telangana, 17.13 lakh live in the Hyderabad district, constituting 43.5 per cent of the total Muslim
population in the state. The purpose of the project is to introduce a which can be spiritual and intellectual
hub where we can have communal harmony and religious diversity
ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTER, HYDERABAD.
NEED OR RELEVENCE OF THE STUDY
1. Incipit being the core of Islam rulers in Deccan there is no such places where Muslim community can
celebrate their culture in Telangana.
2. There is ought to Develop a place, which is able to become a spiritual and intellectual hub for Islam in
Telangana which might promote the future of Islam in recently shaped state Telangana and supply a
doctrine future to Muslim communities.
3. There is no space in Telangana where someone can understand Islam which can facilitate interfaith
dialogue for better understanding of Islam and other faiths, increase communal harmony and religious
diversity thus Islamic cultural center comes into spot light in Telangana
4. By introducing a defined space for activates like Community gatherings, Iftaar party, Eid Milan would
promote networking among not just Muslims but between other communities as well
5. An Islamic center on these lines would redefine the purpose of Masjid or a prayer place, engage people
and promote the social network much beyond the typical pray-and-go-type worship place. This would be
a new paradigm and a step forward for the future generations
ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTER, HYDERABAD
CULTURAL HERITAGE
The activities of the Islamic center would include organizing talks, discussions, lectures, seminars and other
literary programs in which scholars from different thoughts from India and abroad would participate.
Eminent delegates coming to India or Hyderabad would also be invited to visit the center.It would organize
cultural programs such as Mushaira (Sher-o-Shayari) within the boundaries of Islam and exhibitions on
different subjects. So, the center would give a boost to cultural heritage and provide a progressive approach
towards religion.An Islamic center on these lines would redefine the purpose of Masjid or a prayer place,

CASE STUDIES:
1. Mosque and Islamic Cultural Center Rome, Italy.
2. Islamic Architecture and Modern Islamic Architecture.
SITE
LOCATION : Kokapeta, Hyderabad, Telangana.
AREA : 10acer.
TYPE OF OWNERSHIP : Government property.
The site is located in Kokapeta, near Hitec city, Hyderabad. The Site Area is 10 acres. Around 15,000
professionals belonging to the Muslim community work in the IT hub at Hitec City (Madhapur,
Gachibowli), at many IT/ITeS companies, including Dell, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Cognizant,
Deloitte, Accenture, Oracle, TCS, Wipro and Tech Mahindra.
But the area has only a few mosques, which cannot accommodate these many professionals. People
have to squeeze in or have to have multiple sessions for their Friday prayers. This necessitates the
establishment of Islamic center somewhere around this hub. Where Kokapeta comes into spot light
which can be a center for intellectual hub.
