==Construction==
The Shah Jahan Mosque was built in 1889 as one of the first mosques in Western Europe by Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner.〔(Dr Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner (1840–1899) ), builder of the Shah Jehan Mosque, and founder of the Oriental Institute.〕 It is built in Bath and Bargate stone in Indo-Saracenic Revival style commissioned by Shah Jahan, Begum of Bhopal (1868–1901), and maintained since then as a Waqf.
Shah Jahan Begum made sizable donations towards the building of the mosque and also contributed generously towards the founding of the “Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College” at Aligarh, which developed into the Aligarh Muslim University.
A drawing of the Woking Mosque by the architect W. I. Chambers was published in ''The Building News and Engineering Journal'', dated 2 August 1889, shortly before the Mosque was completed.〔(Woking Mosque architect’s drawing, 1889 )〕 It was opened to the public in October or November, 1889.〔
