Situation of old Mughal mosque in india: Afsarwala Mosque

last month i was on the tour of India, where i visit Humayun tomb of new delhi , on the begining  of humayun tomb complex there is a way to go right hand side, there is a very old mosque of mughal times. previously this mosque was known as afsarwala mosque where officers of mughal court use to pray. now a days situation of this mosque is  very dangerous it is looking like a khandahar , it is looking like the living place of birds.
Along with this mosque there is afsarwala tomb, a octagonal building there is 3 tomb. on the wall of tomb arabic word is written from the verses of Quran but people are allowed to go there by wearing shoe that was very awkward moment for me. there should be a sufficient rule to respect the Quranic verses.
The date of this tomb and mosque is same that is this was build in 1566-67 CE. where officer's of Akbar's court used to offer Namaz so called afsarwala mosque.have a look of this mosque by videos.

Have look by pictures.

The garden of paradise

The garden of paradise, Humayun tomb New  Delhi

The garden of heaven or garden of paradise is the garden which surrounds the Humayun Tomb in New Delhi India. it is named as paradise garden because it is constructed as paradise as mention in Islamic Holly book Quran. taking in mind that after the death people will go in heaven so it is constructed as heaven by a mughal architct Mirak Mirza Ghiyath.

Previously in this garden the mughal emperors and their palace members gathered there for any kind of meetings and discussions by enjoying the beauty of garden also it was the main place for meeting with other people of other realm.

The main tomb is situated at the center of Charbagh garden of a 30 acre. the highly geometrical octagonal building is enclosed by paradise garden is divided into four square by paved walkways and two bisecting central water channels that reflecting the four river of Jannat (paradise) as mentioned in the holly book Quran. each of four squares further divided into smaller square with pathways creating 36 squares in all.

As mention in Quran the river is flowing beneath the garden of  paradise the water channels is flowing from inside the building and appearing from other side of the buildings.

Also it was the main gathering place of muslim people of india during partition. here i want to show you some videos and picture of that gardens.
