Binat Bibir Mosque is the oldest mosque in Dhaka. Binat Bibir Mosque is the first mosque in the capital, located on the north side of the Hayat Bepari Pool on No. 6 Narinda Road in Old Dhaka.
According to the inscriptions engraved on the historical mosque, this mosque was built by his daughter Mosammat Bakht bint Bibi during the reign of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah in 1457 AD.
The four-cornered mosque, built on an area of about 7 khata, originally had a central dome, but another dome was added during the second renovation in 1930 AD.
James Taylor in the book 'Dhaka in the Company Age' mentioned that, in 1832, George Henry Walter, the then magistrate of Dhaka, stated in a report that there were only 153 mosques in Dhaka at that time. This number gradually increased thereafter. Dhaka is gradually turning into a city of mosques. It is really difficult to say how many mosques there are in Dhaka at present. However, according to Islamic Foundation (2016) data, there are more than 11,000 mosques in Dhaka. All these mosques have a touch of aesthetics and modernity. According to information from Banglapedia, Binat Bibi Mosque is the oldest Muslim architectural monument in Dhaka and it is the first mosque in the capital Dhaka.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
