The '''Fatehpuri Mosque''' is a 17th-century [[mosque]] located at the western end of the oldest street of Delhi, [[Chandni Chowk]], [[North Delhi]], [[Delhi]], [[India]]. It is opposite the [[Red Fort]] on the opposite end of Chandni Chowk.

==History==
Fatehpuri Masjid was built in 1650 by Fatehpuri Begum, one of emperor [[Shah Jahan]]'s wives who was from [[Fatehpur Sikri]],<ref>History of Mughal Architecture, By R. Nath, Published by Abhinav Publications, 2006</ref> and the mosque at [[Taj Mahal]] is also named after her.<ref>The History of the Taj and the Buildings in Its Vicinity: With 3 Illustrations from Photographs and 2 Plans, By Muḣammad Muʻīn al-Dīn, Akbarābādī Muḣammad Muʻīn al-Dīn
Published by Moon press, 1905</ref>

The British had auctioned the mosque after the [[1857 war]] to Rai Lala Chunnamal for Rs. 19,000<ref>[http://www.milligazette.com/Archives/01-5-2000/fatehpuri_shahi_masjid_a_mute_wi.htm Fatehpuri Shahi Masjid: A mute witness to the travails of Dillee] milligazette. 1 May 2000.</ref>(whose descendants still live in the [[Chunnamal haveli]] in [[Chandni Chowk]]<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mp/2003/09/25/stories/2003092500260100.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031107011100/http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mp/2003/09/25/stories/2003092500260100.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=7 November 2003 | title=Beyond the WALL | newspaper=[[The Hindu]] | date=25 September 2003 | access-date=19 December 2018 }}</ref>), who preserved the mosque. Later in 1877 it was acquired by the government in exchange for four villages and was restored to the Muslims at the [[Delhi Durbar]] when the British allowed the Muslims back in Old Delhi. A similar mosque, called [[Akbarabadi Mosque]] built by the Akbarabadi Begum was destroyed by the British.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090628092715/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2005/10/03/stories/2005100301280200.htm In memory of a pious Begum] [[The Hindu]], 3 October 2005.</ref>

The [[Khari Baoli]], which is today Asia's largest spice market, gradually developed after the construction of the mosque.

Muslim festivals ''[[Id-ul-Fitr]]'' and ''[[Id-ul-Zuha]]'' are celebrated with great enthusiasm at the mosque.

Mufti [[Mukarram Ahmad]] is the chief [[mufti]] and [[imam]] of the mosque and has been Imam there for almost 42 years and before him his father Maulana Mufti Mohammad Ahmad (d. 21 October 1971/1391 AH) was imam and mufti of the mosque.

== Architecture ==
The mosque is built using red sandstone and has a fluted dome with ''mahapadma'' and ''kalash'' on the top. Flanked by minarets, the mosque has a traditional design with the prayer hall having seven-arched openings. The mosque has single and double-storeyed apartments on the sides.

The central [[iwan]] in the middle is flanked by three arches on each side.
