* The covenant of Adam Qudsiyan Danand The original place is Multan Namand Ali Mohammad Khan Mosque The greatest masterpiece of Multani architecture! ا Located in the heart of the city, the mosque was built by Multan Governor Ali Muhammad Khogani Ali Mohammad Khan Mosque has a prominent place in the historical monuments of Multan city in terms of its splendor and architecture. Located in the heart of the city, this mosque was built in Multan by Nawab Ali Mohammad Khogani, Governor of Takht Kabul. Built in 1758, this mosque is the largest and most complete mosque in the inner city of Multan. The Ali Muhammad Khan Mosque, a masterpiece of architecture, also bears witness to the city's most important history. Once upon a time, a tributary of the Ravi River passed through the center of the city. The place remained uninhabited, as the population of the city increased, Kotwali was established here, the judge started setting up his court here and at the exact place where this mosque is, the criminals were punished. (According to some historians, there used to be a pond at the place where Masjid Ali Muhammad Khan was built, where people in the inner city used to wash clothes and animals used to drink water. Nawab Ali Muhammad Khan found the water of this pond opaque and He covered it with mud and built a mosque on it. In 1752, when Ahmad Shah Abdali appointed Nawab Ali Muhammad Khogani as the ruler of Multan, replacing Khawaja Ishaq, I also built a mosque. The mosque is actually built on an elevated platform, with shops on four sides beneath the mosque, which were built to support the mosque. The mosque is 17 feet wide and 44 feet long. Its mihrab and minbar are made of marble. The wooden roof is adorned with fine paintings. There is a ten square feet pond in the courtyard of this mosque which is used for ablution. This mosque also presents the best example of the art of Multani Kashi Gari. Like other historical buildings of Multan, small bricks have been used in the construction of Masjid Ali Muhammad Khan. Small bricks were used in all the ancient buildings of Multan and adjoining areas because stones were rare in this plain area. ۔ Painting, calligraphy and tiling were used to decorate the buildings here. The tradition of decorating arches and windows with vines is also mostly associated with Multan. Turquoise and blue bricks were used in this regard. The Ali Muhammad Khan Mosque represents a similar style of construction. From its inception until the Sikh rule, Masjid Ali Muhammad Khan was the largest mosque in the inner city and was also the center of political and social activities of Muslims. Sixty years after the construction of this mosque, when the Sikhs took over Multan, this mosque, like other mosques in the city, fell victim to Sikhism. The Sikhs had turned the ancient Eidgah of Multan into a stable and guest house. The Sikhs also occupied Mazar Shah Shams. The Ali Muhammad Khan Mosque was also occupied by the Sikhs and Granth Sahib was placed in the main hall of the mosque. It was read at specific times. Not only did the Sikhs settle for this, but the Nazim-e-Shahar of that time started holding a court at the main entrance of the mosque. Adhan and prayers were banned in the mosque, Muslims were not even allowed to enter the mosque. Thus, for almost 34 years, this mosque missed the call to prayer and prostration. During the Sikh rule, Muslims repeatedly tried to reclaim the mosque from the government, but they did not succeed, as Hindus and Sikhs held all key positions during the Sikh rule and the Muslim government had no status in the court. Was not When the British captured Multan in 1848, the Ali Muhammad Khan Mosque was recaptured by the Muslims. When the Ali Mohammad Khan Mosque was returned to the Muslims during the British rule, it was renovated. This incident is also recorded in the form of poems on the mosque: The majestic building of the Multan Mosque That was done by Ali Muhammad Khan Badusad Iqbal in the bazaar Loya Din Nabi Hum Cho Aftab Ayan Bamand Darkf Sanghan per year Imprisoned for months and years Zahoor Noor Habibi Rehand from Bandash Who is the last beast of prey?
