Mosque has always been a vital part in world's Islamic history, not only it is a place of worship, but also represents Mughal architecture and glory of that era. Our whole history speaks through the magnificent architecture of mosques built during Mughal period. Their massive vaults, embellished ceilings and corridors, glorified minarets, subtle motifs, ecstatic calligraphy all these add touch of grandeur and beauty to these adorable, mosques, amidst them is Shah Jahan Mosque, matchless in its beauty and magnificence.
This mosque, is made up of heavy brick structure with simple construction built upon a stone plinth, with big square pillars and gigantic walls, is centered on a courtyard 169' X 97'. The prayer hall is same in magnitude; both are enclosed by large domes. On the north and south two aisled galleries open by means of cloisters onto the courtyard. Ninety three domes cover the entire structure, and are probably the cause of a remarkable echo, which enables the prayers in front of the Mihrab to be heard in any part of the building. This mosque encloses the most detailed display of tile-work in the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent. The two main chambers, in particular, are entirely covered with them. Their domes have been exquisitely laid with a mosaic of glowing azure and white tiles. Stylish floral patterns, similar to the seventeenth century Kashi work of Iran, embellish the spandrel of the main arches and elsewhere geometrical designs on square tiles are disposed in a series of panels.
Architecturally matchless, the Jami mosque is distinct in its layout as well as its materials. This is the first mosque in the region to be erected, according to Mughal architectural pattern, quite different from other mosques in certain aspects, the edifice is extended along the east-west rather than the usual north-south axis. Instead of pink sandstone and marble mostly used in Mughal buildings, it is adorned with red bricks. The decision of using brick was made owing to practical concerns of cost and availability, since Thatta does not have much stone. The facade is festooned with glossy tiles.
Mughal emperor Shah Jahan laid the foundation stone for this mosque to show gratitude towards the people of Thatta for giving him refuge during his youthful exile from Delhi at the hands of his father, Emperor Jahangir. Several Persian inscriptions are found dating the foundation of the mosque to 1644 and its completion to 1647. The floor was paved with stone in 1657. Renovation was done during the seventies by the Endowment (Awqaf) Department with an addition of orchard to the eastern side of mosque. For this new garden, a detached foyer was fabricated, defined by a triple arched formation that imitates the Mughal style of arches enclosed in rectangular frames, the central portion being projected higher than the other, built on axis with the main entrance to the mosque. The garden is an endeavor to imitate the four-quadrant charbagh technique, one walks through it to reach the mosque.
