My Visit to the Shat Gombuj Mosque

Visiting an historical place or an old relic like the Shat Gombuj Mosque is an important part of education. It helps us to improve our knowledge, widen our outlook, give us joy and helps to remove the monotony of our routine works. During the last summer vacation I got a chance to visit the Shat Gombuj Mosque. I went there with my elder brother. We went there by bus. The world famous mosque is located on the eastern side of the tank named "Ghoradighi" at Bagerhat in Khulna.

The mosque was built/founded by a great muslim saint named Khan Jahan Ali in the middle of 15th century. It has 77 domes including 7 4 sided domes. That is why it is called Shat Gombuj Mosque. 

It has a vast prayer hall. The prayer hall was also used as the court of Khan Jahan Ali. The design and the beauty of Shat Gombuj Mosque is matchless. The Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali lies near the mosque.

There are a lot of large crocodiles in the tank. We met hundreds of boys and girls who came to visit mosque from different schools and colleges. I gained a new experience and new knowledge about a new place in our country. So in order to broaden and increase knowledge, any student should visit the historical mosque on holidays.

Water Pollution

Water is one of the major elements of our environment. No life can survive without water. So water is also called life. But polluted water is very harmful to health. Water is polluted in many ways. One of them our farmers are mainly liable for water pollution.  Because they use huge chemical fertilizers and insecticides for killing insects and growing better crops. They get mixed with rain waters and as a result causes serious water pollution.

Mills and factories greatly causes water pollution. They pollute water by throwing toxic chemicals and waste products into rivers and canals. Open latrins cause acute water pollution. Water vehicles pollute water by throwing food waste, human waste and burnt oil into canals, rivers and seas.

Illiteracy is the root cause of this problem in our country. Our over population deepens this pollution too. Pollute water causes many water borne diseases which takes away a lot of lives every year.  

In order to stop this pollution the wide spread use of fertilizers and insecticides must be lessened, farmers should be educated, public awarness should be created. Mills and factories must stop throwing toxic chemicals and waste products into water. Population must be checked and illiteracy must be removed. Our decent life will not be possible unless we can stop water pollution.
