Built by Shamsu'd-Din Iltutmish himself in 1235, the tomb of Iltutmish lies to the northwest of the Quwwatu'l Islam Mosque of New Delhi. Though, there was a gap of only five years between the constructions of Sultan Ghauri's tomb and this tomb, it is much different and serves as an example of development phase in Indo-Islamic architecture. Unlike his predecessors, Iltutmish abstained from using the material obtained from the demolition of temples. However, the arches and semi-domes of this tomb were built in the indigenous architectural style. The tomb chamber has a red sand stone cenotaph in its centre.
Originally, this cenotaph was covered by a dome, which fell, only to be replaced by Feroze Shah Tughluq. However, even the second dome could not survive long and only its ruins can be seen now. There are three 'mehrabs' in the west that were used for offering prayers. The tomb has plain and stark exteriors, but its interiors are lavishly ornamented with geometrical and arabesque patterns in Saracenic tradition. Along with this, ancient Hindu motifs, such as wheel, bell-and-chain, tassel, lotus and diamond, can also be seen here. It was these carvings that led Fergusson to remark that this tomb is 'one of the richest examples of Hindu art applied to Mohammedan purposes'.
Still not yet complete ; this beautiful mosque is in Aleppo,Syria. The lavish & ornate building is being funded by the president .

Mezquita de Granada. Detail from the new mosque in Granada, Spain. The artist has adopted the calligraphic style and motto of the Nasirids, the Muslim rulers of the city until 1492, but not, sadly, the eight pointed star that is so common in the Alhambra. The Arabic is "Wa la ghaliba illa Allah" or "There is no Victor except God".

The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb built the Badshahi Mosque (Urdu: بادشاھی مسجد), or the 'Kings's Mosque, in 1673 in Lahore, Pakistan. The mosque displays an excellent example of Mughal era architecture.The prayer chamber, exceptionally deep, divides into seven compartments by rich engraved arches carried on enormously heavy piers.
Dabgir Mosque
Dabgir Mosque in Thatta is thought to be the oldest monument of Thatta. This mosque is also known as the Mosque of Amir Khusrao Khan Charkas, a descendent of Changez Khan who was made governor of Thatta in 1590, when the Mughals annexed Sindh. Khusrao Khan Charkas is credited with building over 360 public monuments in Thatta alone, including mosques, tombs, bridges, inns, wells, and masdrassahs (schools).
During Jalauddin Muhammad Akbar's reign, this mosque was situated in the heart of the city. Despite the ravages of time, vandals, and misguided restorers, its former grandeur is still visible in parts of its structure. The best surviving portion of the mosque, which is now quite dilapidated, is its sanctuary. Nothing is known about the form of the courtyard, surrounding walls, gateways, and minarets, if there were any. The sanctuary consists of three bays. The central one has lost its dome, while the two flanking bays are capped by low domes.
The mosque has three compartments in the sanctuary. The central one is the largest. It forms a square of 24 feet and contains a mihrab (arch) with a window in each side. Arched passages connect this chamber with the smaller chambers on the sides. The construction of the mosque is peculiar. In the central bay, the square span is converted into an octagon with much smaller diagonal sides. This irregular octagon is visible externally as well. Above this is placed a regular octagon, also externally visible. Four of its sides are continuations of the lower octagon. On the eastern side there is an arched opening into the base of a low dome, which is now missing. In the side chambers, the oblong span is converted into a square, and then this square void is domed in the same manner as the central dome. The whole construction is of brick covered with lime plaster. On the two sides of the sanctuary, two flights of stairs ascend to the roof.
This mosque's charming recesses, which once contained exquisite and chaste tiles with arabesque from Hala in Sindh, now bear only crude smudges of concrete quite lacking in delicacy. Sensitive curves, niches, and moldings of the cymareversa type are now overlaid with patches of cement and plaster. However, some tile work surviving inside the mosque compensates for what has been mercilessly obliterated outside. These provide the earliest examples of Sindhi tiles (circa 1509). They are confined to only two colors, usually a deep rich blue and a pale turquoise blue on a white ground.
This elegant made mosque is now totally ruined and this all because of neglected management of Archeology (Asar-e-Qadima) and the Pakistan Government, if the management committee of old monuments do nothing about this, then in few years it will be finish.
