Very nice historical place not known much by Pakistani tourists. A must visit place for everyone visiting Lahore sooner or later. Strongly recommend for those who have any sort of interest in history specially Islamic history. It gives an idea of how Islamic city looks like in old erase of mughals. So next time you go Lahore, do visit Moti Masjid.

Moti Masjid means Pearl Mosque which is a part of Lahore Fort. It's small in size but fully made of white marble. It's a simple looking but beautiful indeed. Remember, Mughal Emperors were not only fond of constructing Buildings, Forts, Gardens but also, they were fond of constructing beautiful Mosques for Muslims. It make me frustrated when I see few people who don't realize the importance of historical places & write on the walls. Same is the case with walls of Moti Mosque. Management must pay attention to this stupidity & refrain visitors to write anything on the walls.

A small vintage mughal era mosque located inside the Lahore fort. It is a heavy and thick marble brick and tiles mosque that is beautifully decorated by the inscripture and design of previous time. Three domes on the front side of the roof display a typical mughal architecture. Even after lapse of centuries the mosque looks anew due to its relatively good care and maintenance.

Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque) A small mosque claimed to have spirits and ghouls inside it is the Moti Masjid. People visiting it have a strong belief that if Nawafil (Muslim Prayers) are offered at Moti Masjid, the wishes do come true. Having the same belief thousands of visitors from all over the world visit this place every week. During the Asr prayers you will hardly find a place to step inside the mosque. Moti Masjid was built in 1645 by the Mughal Shah Jahan. As per historic accounts it is stated that the mosque might have been built along with Dolat Khana Khaas-o-Aam of Shah Jahan. It is one of those two mosques built in chaste marble by Shah Jahan. The second one was built at Agra Fort in 1654 AD. The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb also constructed a mosque of the same type at Red Fort Delhi in 1662 AD. They are all titled as Pearl Mosque because of their outlook imbued with white marble. This is a small mosque which can accommodate only a hundred people at one time. The glowing facade of Moti Masjid is divided into five chambers with the central one slightly extended into the courtyard. The five-chamber or bay facade was Mughals’ specialty and can be seen in many mosques of the era including the Mariam Zamani Mosque. The interior is simple and plain with the exception of ceilings that are decorated and designed in arches and horizontal beams. The mosque has three domes with a huge one in the center. These domes are in fact double domes, devised for loud acoustics. This feature of the domes enables the sound being heard clearly as in an auditorium. These domes can be seen as you enter the Lahore Fort through the British era postern gate. During the day as well as night these domes are glowing like a real pearl. The facade of the graceful arches is finished with delicate pietra dura work. The same décor you will find in the Diwan-e-Khaas inside Shah Jahan’s Quadrangle, Sheesh Mahal, Naulakha Pavilion and some other buildings of the Mughal Era. The specialty of this mosque is that male and females can offer prayers there. On one side of the mosque are the prayer rooms dedicated for the females. The Hujras are also made on another side for the visitors for resting and offering prayers. At one end of the mosque is a very narrow and steep staircase leading to the roof top of the mosque. It is usually closed and visitors are not allowed to go upstairs. This mosque is exclusively built of Sang-e-Marmar which is white marble. It was brought from Makrana, Rajasthan, India at the time of its construction. Makrana has always been prominent for the white marble taken from the mines around it. Marble from Makrana was also used in the construction of the Taj Mahal. Till today, you will see this marble glowing like a pearl and that’s the specialty of it. The Mosque has been conserved by WCLA in 2021

Feeling peace. Moti Masjid (Punjabi, Urdu: موتی مسجد), one of the "Pearl Mosques", is a 17th-century religious building located inside the Lahore Fort, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It is a small, white marble structure built by Mughal emperor Jahangir and modified by the architects of Shah Jahan,[1] and is among his prominent extensions (such as Sheesh Mahal and Naulakha pavilion) to the Lahore Fort Complex.[2] The mosque is located on the western side of Lahore Fort, closer to Alamgiri Gate, the main entrance.Moti in Urdu language means pearl, which designates a perceived preciousness to the religious structure. It was an established practice among Mughal emperors to name the mosques after generic names for gemstones. Other such examples are the Mina Masjid (Gem Mosque) and Nagina Masjid (Jewel Mosque), both located in Agra Fort and completed in 1637 under Shah Jahan's reign.[3] The mosque, built between 1630 and 1635,[4] is the first among the "pearl" named mosques, the others built by Shah Jahan in Agra Fort (1647–53), and his son Aurangzeb in the Red Fort (1659–60).After the Mughal Empire, the mosque was converted into a Sikh temple and renamed Moti Mandir during the period of the Sikh rule under Ranjit Singh's Sikh Confederacy (1760–99).[5] Later, Ranjit Singh also used the building for the state treasury. After the demise of Sikh Empire, when the British took over Punjab in 1849, they discovered precious stones wrapped in bits of rags and placed in velvet purses scattered inside the mosque, along with other inventory.[6] The building was later revived to its former status, and the religious relics were conserved at the nearby Badshahi Mosque.The structure, located in the northwestern corner of Dewan-e-Aam quadrangle, is typical of Mughal architecture of Shah Jahan's times.[7] It is completely built of white marble that was brought from Makrana.[4] The façade is composed of cusped arches and engaged baluster columns with smooth and fine contours.[8] The mosque has three superimposed domes, two aisles of five bays, and a slightly raised central pishtaq, or portal with a rectangular frame.[9] This five-arched facade distinguishes it from other mosques of the similar class with three-arched facades. The interior is simple and plain with the exception of ceilings that are decorated and designed in four different orders, two arcuate, and two trabeated.[10]

Beautiful mosque of that time
