This is the one of the mosque constructed by King Akbar.
This is best place to pray at khawaja ji Darbar.
You can sit here and pray.

Jumma khutba starts at 2.10 and jumma namaz starts at 2.20, but reaching is difficult you have to be at Buland darwaza main gate at 1.45 then you can reach this masjid, it is rush hour because shahjahani namaz ends and precisely people exit in large number.,,kind of stemepede situation, so be careful try to reach before 12.00 and you can wazu in akbari masjid

This Mosque was constructed by Emperor Akbar as a token of his Devotion and Gratitude on the occasion of the birth of prince Salim (Jahangir) in the year 1455 A.D. It is a Square of 140x140x2 feet and its central area is 56 (feets) high. In the centre, there had been a hauz (tank) for wazoo (ablution).Owing to certain resons, the hauz was closed and covered.
Now the Mosque is known as Akbari Mosque.
At present this place also houses a Quranic Educational Institution to provide religious education to the children.

Akbari Masjid is a mosque located inside the dargah area in the name of the great Mughal ruler Akbar. Once you are inside the dargah you will visit this place and can have namaz here. It's told that the large utensils for making food for the common people located on either side of the dargah are made by him. Altogether it's a must-visit place for travellers.

Located at one side of the Dargah complex, the Akbari Masjid is a unique spot indeed.
One has to climb up a few steep steps to reach a citadel upon which this mosque was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Akbar.
Most people coming to the Dargah don't know about its existence and as a result it's almost always empty, I had a grand time exploring such a beautiful structure on my own and then sitting down in one corner and imagining how Akbar himself and later perhaps his sons and grandsons used to come and pray here too.
Like all mosques, one has to dress modestly and wear a covering on the head for both men and women.

The Akbari Masjid as the name implies is a mosque built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The story goes that Akbar had the mosque built in gratitude for the birth of his son, Prince Salim. By the standards of mosques, the entrance is richly decorated in a gold background with arabic writing and floral themes, a style also found opposite the Dargah Sharif which is adjacent to the mosque complex. The rest of the mosque is built with mosque is built mostly of marble, but decorated in a bland green. It though it was okay. The place is very commercial because of the Dargah and there are many stalls inside the mosque complex selling stuff to worshippers wanting to pray at the shrine.
