Taj-ul-Masajid is a Mosque situated in Bhopal,Madhya Pradesh,India."Taj-ul-Masajid" literally means "Crown Among Mosques"
The construction of the Mosque was initiated during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar
by Nawab Shah Jahan Begum (1844–1860 and 1868–1901) of Bhopal (Wife of
Baqi Mohammad Khan) and continued to be built by her daughter Sultan
Jahan Begum, till her lifetime. The mosque was not completed due to lack
of funds, and after a long lay-off after the War of 1857,
construction was resumed in 1971 by great efforts of Allama Mohammad
Imran Khan Nadwi Azhari and Maulana Sayed Hashmat Ali Sahab of Bhopal.
The construction was completed by 1985 and the entrance (eastern) gate
was renovated grandly using ancient motifs from circa 1250 Syrian
mosques by the contribution of the Emir of Kuwait to commemorate the
memory of his departed wife.
