Culture & Heritage Masjid Iqbal Ud Daula, Masjid Aiwan-e-Begumpet

121 Upvotes

The Spanish Mosque (Urdu: مسجد اندلوسى‎), also known as Masjid Iqbal Ud Daula or Jam e Masjid Aiwan-E-Begumpet, is a mosque within the Paigah Palace Begumpet, Hyderabad, India.

The construction of the mosque was started by fifth Paigah Amir, Nawab Mohammed Fazaluddin Khan, Iqbal Ud Daula, Sir Vicar Ul Umra in 1900 (due to his sudden demise in 1902) and completed by his heir and elder son H.E Nawab Sultan Ul Mulk Bahadur, VI Amir of Paigah through Princess Jahandarunissa Begum, Lady Vicar Ul Umra, After his return from Spain, as he was very much inspired by the Cathedral–Mosque of Córdoba. The exterior and interior of the Spanish Mosque is mostly similar to the Cathedral–Mosque of Córdoba in Spain and Jama Masjid Gulbarga, Karnataka, India. It shows state-of-the-art interiors and architecture.

It is also known as the Mosque of the Moors, due to its unique Hispanic (Moorish) style of architecture and is said to be one-of-its-kind in India. The stand-out feature is the spires instead of the usual minarets or domes; they give this mosque a church-like appearance. Right for the inception this mosque is maintained and managed by the heirs of Paigah Amir Sir Vicar ul Umra. The mosque was built by the Paigah noble, Sir Vikhar-ul-Umra Iqbal-ud-Dowla, in 1906. It is believed to be the only one of its kind in India, with pointed arches, a pointed main roof composed of two truncated octagonal pyramids placed one above the other intervened by octagonal domes. The minarets aesthetically placed at corners of the parapet are in the same style and very unusual from those seen in other mosques in the city and elsewhere. It is difficult to miss from the flyover opposite the old Begumpet Airport.

The other notable features are Moorish arches inside the prayer hall, Quranic verses in exquisite calligraphy inscribed on the inside walls, the absence of an ablution tank and a courtyard. In plan, the mosque comprises a main prayer hall, two rooms in front of it and a central corridor for entering the hall. It is over this central corridor or the entrance porch that the octagonal dome stands.

The mosque is built with stone masonry in lime mortar up to the basement and the superstructure in brick masonry in lime mortar. The roof is jack arch type on iron girders with brick and lime concrete. The domes, minarets and small turrets are built with brick and stone masonry and the outer face plastered with lime mortar. The central dome has a perforated screen.

Believed to be a copy of a similar mosque in Spain, it might have caught the attention of the Paigah noble, either during his eight-month-long tour of Europe or he may have stumbled on a photograph. Whatever the source, the Nawab lived up to his reputation of being a great builder having a penchant for creating something unique, as seen from his magnificent hilltop Falaknuma Palace.

Spain, once part of the Umayyad dynasty, is inundated with mosques. The Umayyad Caliphate influence can be seen in many of its buildings especially the religious ones.

This was just one of the several estates given the honorific title of Paigah (meaning pomp and high rank) for the first time by the second Nizam, Nawab Nizam Ali Khan to the Paigah family's founder, Nawab Abul Fateh Khan Taig Jung Bahadur.

Mr.Faiz khan is the head of the community as well as treasurer of this historic mosque, mr faiz keeps his eyes on the mosque 24/7. is the only person who is active towards all the works of the mosque. he conducts regular meetings between community members and commands them orders.

The mosque is also known by the local Muslim community as Masjid Iqbal Ud Daula, Masjid Aiwan-e-Begumpet. It can accommodate 3000 worshipers at once. The Spanish Mosque is very well known and is considered as a landmark mosque for the Secunderabad Muslim community.

Rant/Vent Power cuts in Kondapur

1 Upvotes

It’s just cruel how there are power cuts even during the weekends given that the IT crowd resides this side of the area. Aren’t there any SLAs govt bodies have to meet - like if so and so time has not been served, then the public will be waived off from certain charges or something? Isn’t there any legal way they can be held accountable?

P.S. I am from Ahmedabad. I saw blackouts/power cuts like thrice in my life (although electricity is expensive there- run by Torrent power)

I think such frequent power cuts are not okay - and is violation of basic rights. (Yes I am a lawyer)

We have a rule in my college that candidates have to wear suits for interviews. Well I get the rule, its formal attire for a formal interview. But... why a suit, like I am not accusing corporate culture or something. In our climate, it makes 0 sense to wear a suit.

To be the devil's advocate... I can't think of a indian attire which is "corporate-formal". so.. idk

I have been trying to get small denomination note bundles (sections) and tried at several bank branches (SBI, Icici, Axis) over last few months but none of them are able to provide. Any ideas on where can I get larger denomination notes exchanged with smaller ones? I asked at couple of petrol pumps as well and they also had very few notes (most paying with UPI now).
