The nearly 1,400-year-old 'Lost Mosque' (currently Sahaba Kiram Mosque), located in the northern border district of Lalmonirhat, has become the center of curiosity and attraction for people across the country. The site holds special significance for researchers and travelers exploring the early spread of Islam and ancient trade routes. This ancient mosque is situated in Ramdas Mouza of Panchgram Union under Lalmonirhat Sadar upazila, about one kilometer south of the Rangpur-Kurigram highway.
According to local sources, the area was long neglected as a abandoned jungle. During 1983-84, while clearing the jungle, ancient flower-engraved bricks and ruins were discovered. On the 10th of Muharram in 1986, a local resident named Ayub Ali recovered an engraved inscription or ancient brick while removing soil and jungle. The brick clearly mentioned 'La ilaha illallahu Muhammadur Rasulullah' in Arabic and the year 69 Hijri.
Currently, this historical brick and parts of the inscription are preserved on the mosque premises. The recovered ruins are about 21 feet long and 10 feet wide. Over time, the 'As-Sahaba Complex' has developed here. A Hafidia madrasa and a Qawmi madrasa are operated centering the mosque, where about two hundred students are studying.
