The Tetulia Jami Mosque, also known as the Khan Bahadur Salamatullah Mosque, and the Tetulia Shahi Mosque, is located in village of ''Tetulia'' (or ''Tentulia'') in Tala upazila in the district of Satkhira in Bangladesh.〔Chowdhury, Nazly & Ahmed, Babu (2006). ''Mughal Monuments of Bangladesh'', p. 90. Edited by Professor Dr Enamul Haque. Dhaka, Bangladesh: Traditional Photo Gallery. Sponsored by HSBC.〕 The founder of the mosque was Khan Bahadur Maulvi Qazi Salamatullah Khan,〔 of the zamindar (feudal-lord) Qazi family of Tetulia, who was also the founder of the mansion known as Salam Manzil (now in ruins) in the vicinity.〔Khalequzzaman, Badru Mohammad (2006). ''Tala Upojelar Itihash-Oitijjo'', "History-Heritage of Tala Upazila", p. 302. Dhaka, Bangladesh: Ittadi Grontho Prokash.〕 The six-domed〔Chowdhury, Nazly & Ahmed, Babu (2006). ''Mughal Monuments of Bangladesh'', p. 157. Edited by Professor Dr Enamul Haque. Dhaka, Bangladesh: Traditional Photo Gallery. Sponsored by HSBC.〕 mosque was built Mughal style in 1858-59〔 and resembles those built by Tipu Sultan's descendants,〔〔Chowdhury, Nazly & Ahmed, Babu (2006). ''Mughal Monuments of Bangladesh'', p. 33. Edited by Professor Dr Enamul Haque. Dhaka, Bangladesh: Traditional Photo Gallery. Sponsored by HSBC.〕 as does the ''Salam Manzil'', now in virtual decay. In 1982, the front of the decaying “Shingho Doroja” (“Main Door” in the Bengali language) – that is, the gateway and entrance to Salam Manzil〔Khalequzzaman, Badru Mohammad (2006). ''Tala Upojelar Itihash-Oitijjo'', "History-Heritage of Tala Upazila", picture section. Dhaka, Bangladesh: Ittadi Grontho Prokash.〕 – appeared to have inscriptions or patterns on the wall. Walking through the gate, one would find a spacious compound containing a lot of greenery. A very long verandah with a crumbling roof, supported by a twin-pillar system, overlooked the compound. Opening onto the verandah were dilapidated chambers, which used to function as offices in the past, when the mansion was in a working state. In the past, one or more end-rooms of the verandah had housed ''palkis'' (palanquins). One particular ''palki'' was enormous and twelve bearers were required to carry it. It is unusual to find the use of the twin-pillar system in a remote village of Bengal in the mid 19th century. The twin-pillar system was necessary to support the roof, which had several layers of reinforcement. The distance of the roof from the ground appeared to be at least ten and a half feet. In the present time, the “Shingho Doroja” has been renovated to a different style, though the rest of the Salam Manzil is in complete ruins. ==Salamatullah Khan dynasty== Khan Bahadur Salamatullah Khan was preceded by his father Maulvi Qazi Sana’atullah, who was the son of Qazi Amanatullah.〔 The latter’s father was Qazi-ul-Quzat (Chief Justice)〔Khalequzzaman, Badru Mohammad (2006). ''Tala Upojelar Itihash-Oitijjo'', "History-Heritage of Tala Upazila", p. 92. Dhaka, Bangladesh: Ittadi Grontho Prokash.〕〔Khalequzzaman, Badru Mohammad (2006).

''Tala Upojelar Itihash-Oitijjo'', "History-Heritage of Tala Upazila", p. 98. Dhaka, Bangladesh: Ittadi Grontho Prokash.〕 Baqaullah Khan〔 (''circa'' mid to late 18th century AD) – a Mughal ''sanad'' (title) holder.〔 Khan Bahadur Salamatullah Khan was succeeded by his son Maulvi Qazi Hamidullah Khan.〔 The latter’s son Maulvi Qazi Mohammad Minnatullah Khan〔 was a famous personality of the Qazi family of Tetulia.〔Mitra, Satishchandra (1922). ''Joshohor-Khulnar Itihash'', "History of Jessore-Khulna", Volume 2, p. 1037. Kolkata, India: Gurudash Chottopaddhay and Sons.〕 Minnatullah Khan had two sons, namely Khan Sahib Qazi Rizwanullah Khan and Qazi Mohammad Shafiullah Khan. By the time these two sons had started their families the wealth of the family was already in sharp decline. The graves of both Qazi Mohammad Shafiullah Khan and Khan Sahib Qazi Rizwanullah Khan lie in the cemetery which is within the compound of the Tetulia Jami Mosque. Qazi Shafiullah Khan married Shaiqatunnisa, who was the second daughter of Khan Bahadur Abu Nasr Muhammad Ali – a Presidency Municipal Magistrate and a Tribunal Sessions Judge in Kolkata of British India. Prior to receiving the Khan Bahadur title, he was awarded the title of Khan Sahib in 1914.〔Gift of Horace W. Carpentier (1914). ''Second supplement to Who's who in India (): brought up to 1914''. Retrieved from http://www.archive.org/stream/secondsupplement00luckrich/secondsupplement00luckrich_djvu.txt〕 The Khan Bahadur came from a very distinguished Muslim Bengali family of India, whose ancestry can be traced back to Qamaruddin Hosain Khan of Ajmer in the government of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The Khan Bahadur’s father was Shams-ul-Ulama Maulvi Abul Khair Muhammad Siddiq, to whom the Shams-ul-Ulama title was conferred by the British Empire in 1897 for "eminence in oriental learning".〔Extraordinary (1897, January 1).''The Gazette of India''.

One of Khan Bahadur Abu Nasr Muhammad Ali’s brothers (Abul Muhamed Mohammad Asad) was, too, awarded the Khan Bahadur title by the British Empire and he also became the first Muslim Director of Public Instruction (DPI) in undivided Bengal. His name appears as a representative of Bengal in a symposium held in Mumbai, India, in 1947.〔Proceedings of the Thirteenth Meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education in India (1947, January 9, 10, 11).

The youngest son of Shafiullah Khan, however, retained the Khan surname. The eldest son of Shafiullah Khan, namely Abu Saleh Mohammed Siddique,〔 married the daughter of British-Empire title holder Khan Sahib Maqsud Ahmed. The late Abu Saleh Mohammed Siddique retired from the UK Civil Service, died in 2007 and is buried in the Muslim section of the Greenford cemetery in the London Borough of Ealing. Shafiullah Khan’s daughter was married to Syed Mohammad Ali, who was the son of Khan Bahadur Syed Sultan Ali of Bagerhat.
