Baitul Mukarram, the National mosque of bangladesh in Dhaka, has been a significant center of religious activity and, at times, political unrest. Reports of fighting erupting between different sects of the majority Muslim community at this mosque are not uncommon, as religious and political tensions can sometimes flare up within Bangladesh's predominantly Sunni Muslim population.

Conflicts often arise over differing interpretations of Islamic teachings or political rivalries. In bangladesh, sectarian tensions within the Muslim community, while relatively rare compared to some other countries, do exist. Sunni Muslims, who form the majority, occasionally experience internal disputes, particularly between groups like Deobandis, Barelvis, or other factions that differ on issues of theology, religious practices, or political affiliations.

At Baitul Mukarram, such clashes are sometimes sparked by protests or events involving religious leaders or groups trying to assert their influence. Political parties in bangladesh, including Islamist groups, may use religious gatherings to mobilize support, which can lead to tensions if different factions compete for control or dominance.

The fighting at Baitul Mukarram underscores the complex interplay between religion and politics in bangladesh, where issues of religious identity, theological disputes, and political allegiances can occasionally boil over into violence, even in sacred spaces like the national mosque.
