The Badshahi Mosque (Punjabi: بادشاہی مسیت, romanized: Bādśā’ī Masīt; Urdu: بادشاہی مسجد, romanized: Bādśāhī Masjid) is a Mughal-era imperial mosque located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It was constructed between 1671 and 1673 during the rule of Aurangzeb, opposite of the Lahore Fort on the northern outskirts of the historic Walled City. It is widely considered to be one of the most iconic landmarks of the Punjab.
The sixth Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, chose Lahore as the site for his new mosque. Aurangzeb, unlike the previous emperors, was not a major patron of art and architecture and instead focused, during much of his reign, on various military conquests which added to the Mughal realm. The mosque was built to commemorate Aurangzeb's military campaigns in southern India, in particular against the Maratha ruler Shivaji. As a symbol of the mosque's importance, it was built directly across from the Lahore Fort and its Alamgiri Gate, which was concurrently built by Aurangzeb during construction of the mosque.
The mosque was commissioned in 1671, with construction overseen by the Emperor's foster brother, and Governor of Lahore, Muzaffar Hussein - also known by the name Fidai Khan Koka. After only two years of construction, the mosque was opened in 1673.

The venerable Jama Masjid, captured from Gumbad Restaurant. Well worth the visit. We were gone between 4 and 5 p.m. and climbed the tower. Afterwards we were able to watch a church service and walk around in the large courtyard, where many people met and sometimes sat together on the floor, talking. Afterwards we went to a neighboring restaurant with a roof top area. Soon it was getting dark and the illuminated mosque presented itself advantageously.

Masjid Al-Khair was founded in the early 1960s. The original building was located on a hilltop surrounded by vegetable farms along Choa Chu Kang Road.
