The Mahabat Khan Mosque (Hindko and Urdu: مہابت خان مسجد) (Pashto: مهابت خان جومات), sometimes spelt Mohabbat Khan Mosque, is a 17th-century Mughal-era mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan. The mosque was built in 1630, and named after the Mughal governor of Peshawar, Nawab Mohabat Khan Kamboh, father of Nawab Khairandesh Khan Kamboh.[1] The mosque's white marble façade is considered to be one of Peshawar's most iconic sights.
