The Qila-i-Kuhna Masjid is located within the complex of Purana Qila (Old Fort) in Delhi. This mosque was built by Sher Shah Suri, the founder of the Sur Empire, around 1541 AD. Shah Jahan reigned much later, from 1628 to 1658 AD. Therefore, the Qila-i-Kuhna Masjid cannot be attributed to Shah Jahan’s reign.
Qila-i-Kuhna Masjid in Purana Qila was built by Sher Shah Suri (16th century), predating Shah Jahan (17th century).
