God Almighty says—* Surely the mosques belong to God. Do not call on any 
one besides Allah. And he upon whom God’s blessing rest, says, ‘He who builds a 
mosque in the world, will have seventy castles built for him by God in the next 
world.’ This mosque was built during the reign of the king of the age, who is assisted 
by the assistance of the Supreme Judge, the viceregent of God by proof and evidence, 
the king, the son of a king who was the son of a king, Shamsuddunya wad din 
Abul Muzaffar Yusuf Shah, the king, son of Barbak Shah, the king, son of 
Mahmud Sliah, the king—may God perpetuate his kingdom and rule ! The mosque 
was built by the Majlis ul Majalis, the great and liberal Majlis, the lord of the sword 
and the pen, the hero of the age and the period, Ulugh Majlis i A’zarn—may God 
Almighty protect him in both worlds ! 
Dated Wednesday, 1st Muharram, 882. Let it end well!

The Prophet (may God’s blessing rest upon him !) says, ‘ He who builds a mosque 
for God, shall have a castle built for him by God in Paradise.’ This mosque was built 
in the reign of the just and liberal king Shamsuddunya waddin Abul Mu¬ 
zaffar Yusuf Shah, the king, son ofBarbak Shah, the king, son ofMahmud 
Shah, the king,—may God perpetuate his kingdom and rule!—by the Majlis ul 
Majalis, the exalted Majlis,—may God whose dignity is exalted also exalt him in 
both worlds! And this took place on Friday, the 20th Rajab (may the dignity of the 
month increase !) of the year 881, according to the era of the flight of the Prophet, 
upon whom God’s blessing rest!
