The mosque consists of a main open courtyard of and only one portico in the
qibla direct, deep in the qibla wall, which consists of five bays covered by five domes. The mosque had inscriptions which were filled the panels over the mihrabs, but all of them disappeared, except the foundation inscription at the top of the main mihrab, which contained the name of the patron and the name of the Sultan in Delhi, the capital of the Sultanate. The foundation inscription is one of the most essential inscriptions in the Gujrat area, but it was formed in poor calligraphy. The inscription mentions another significant name which is the architect of the mosque ‘Abd-al-Karim Latif. The Jali has evolved notably in Gujrat, but it manifested uniquely in the Hilal Khan Mosque, showcasing significant artistic and aesthetic distinctiveness. This artistic and aesthetic element is prominently featured in the mosque, serving as one of its most distinctive artistic features. It can be observed in the massive dome of the entrance on the southern side, as well as in the latticework on the northern side of the prayer hall, and it is also present in the main dome covering the mihrab area in the prayer hall. This element served multiple purposes, allowing sunlight to filter into enclosed areas, and casting soft rays that lend an aura of reverence and grandeur, particularly in areas like the mihrab and prayer hall. Additionally, it served to separate the prayer rooms for women in the mosque from the rest of its spaces. Islamic architecture and arts in India utilized this architectural feature to express a new concept aligned with the unique philosophy of Islam. == Gallery ==
