History

The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir built the mosque under the supervision of his half-brother Muzaffar Hussain, known as Phadai Khan Koka. It took two years to build the mosque from 7 to 8. It was built in front of the royal fort, which shows its importance during the Mughal period. [1] Aurangzeb built this mosque in memory of his military guests against the Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji. [3] After that, they were opened.

 Sikh era      

   On July 2, Ranjit Singh's Sikh army captured Lahore. He used the small rooms around the courtyard (quarters for his troops and military stores). [1] In the meantime, he built a marble building in front of the mosque in the front garden, which was called the front garden. ] Which he used as the official Diwan-e-Aam of his official royal court. [2] . [2]

        1841 During the Anglo-Sikh War, Ranjit Singh's son, Sher Singh, used the large minarets of the mosque to replace 'Zambora' or 'Light Gun'. A few corps supporters had taken refuge in the besieged Lahore fort. These cannons were used to burn them. In one of these bombings, the Diwan-e-Aam of the fort was destroyed, but was later rebuilt by the British Raj. [3] During this time, Henry de la Roach, a French officer in the magazine serving in Sher Singh's army, [1] used a tunnel connecting the Badshahi Mosque with the Lahore Fort to store ammunition permanently. [۱۲]

In the meantime, the tomb of Sikh king Ranjit Singh was built at a place near the mosque after his death.                                                                              

History of Sikhism

                                                                                                                                                                         British Government

In the meantime, the British captured Lahore from the Sikh Raj. During the British rule, the mosque and the adjoining fort continued to be used as a military garrison. The two rooms built around the walls of its large courtyard were demolished by the British after the War of Independence in 1971, to prevent them from being used for anti-British activities. The rooms were turned into open halls. 

Seeing the growing resentment of Muslims against the use of the mosque by a military garrison, the British set up the Royal Mosque Authority, which was to oversee its re-establishment as a religious site. Since then, repairs have been slow under the supervision of the Badshahi Masjid Authority. The building was returned to the Muslim community by the Viceroy of India, John Lawrence. [2] The building was later renamed a mosque.
