God Almighty says, 1 The mosques belong to God. Do not associate any one with 
God.’ The Prophet, may God bless him!—says, ‘ lie who builds a mosque, will have a 
castle built for him by God in Paradise.’ 
This auspicious mosque was built by the great Malik Baba S a 1 i h in the reign 
of the king, the son of the king, Jalaluddunya wad din Abul Muzaffar 
Path Shah, son of Mahmud S h a h, the king—may God perpetuate his kingdom 
and rule!—on the 1st Zil Qa’dah, 886, A. II. (2nd January, 1482, A. D). 
The builder of the mosque appears to have been a very pious man. 
Three miles west from Sunnargaon, Dr. J. Wise discovered a mosque built 
by the same man, and adjoining the mosque his tomb. The masjid is 
within half a mile of the mosque to which the preceding inscription belongs, 
and was built in 911, ATT. A portion of the date of the inscription 
is designedly, as it would appear, chipped off.

God Almighty says, &c. [as above]. This blessed mosque was built in the reign of 
Sultan ’Alauddunya waddin Abul Muzaffar Husain Shah, the king,— 
may God perpetuate his reign!—by the great and liberal Malik, the servant of the 
Prophet, who has made a pilgrimage to Makkah and Madinah and has visited the two 
footprints of the Prophet, H a j i Baba Salih. Dated 9 # 1, A. II.

ing date of his death.
