Shab Bhar Mosque, Indo-Islamic mosque in Lahore, Pakistan.
The Shab Bhar Mosque features brick construction with architectural elements that combine Islamic design principles and regional building methods from the subcontinent.
Built in 1917, this mosque emerged overnight when local Muslims constructed it rapidly to secure their claim to the land during British colonial rule.
The mosque displays an inscription at its entrance featuring poetry by Mohammad Iqbal, reflecting the intersection of spiritual and literary traditions in Pakistan.
Located on the first floor above street-level shops, the compact prayer space accommodates twelve worshippers and includes designated areas for ablution rituals.
The name Shab Bhar, meaning Night Mosque, commemorates its swift construction between sunset and sunrise by determined community members.
