Mosque of Kasab Khan

         This old mosque is situated south of the dome of Nusrat Khan, and on the bank of the Delhi Railway line.  The high arches are covered with a lofty dome.  In the time of Ranjit Sigh, the mosque was used as a power-magazine, and was in the occupation of General Gulab Singh, who divested it of its beautiful tank and other buildings.  In the time of Akbar a very populous mohaila called the buildings.  In the time of Akbar a very populous mohaila called the butchers quarters existed here.  The mosque was built by the mohalla people in 1060 A.H. (1649 A.D.), when Shah Jahan sent Prince Aurangzeb to recover Candahar, which had been retaken by the Persians. 

The year is also memorable in history, as that in which Prince Auranzeb professed to be desirous of retiring from the world to a life of religious contemplation.  The Emperor dissuaded him, unconscious of the future of the dangerous young man.  The tomb of Jan Muhammad, the first imam of this mosque, who was a famous and learned man of his time, is close by, to the north in a walled enclosure.  Jan Muhammad was a disciple of Maulvi Muhammad Ismail, alias Mian Wadda, and the guardians of the shrine of Mian Wadda.

             An old well exists to the east of the mosque, which has, how ever, been abandoned now as a place of worship.
