TheMina Mosque, also known as theHeavenly Mosque, is aSunnimosque, situated near Diwan-i-Khas in theAgra Fort, aUNESCOWorld Heritage Site, located inAgra, in the state ofUttar Pradesh, India. The mosque was built, entirely of white marble, byShah Jahan, aMughal leader, inc. 1631-1640CE, for his personal use.

It has a small open court in front of the three-arched prayer-chamber. There is no ornamentation and it is simple. It is enclosed and secured on all sides by high walls and, it appears that, Shah Jahan used this mosque during his imprisonment in the adjoining apartment ofMusamman Burj, also called shah-burj, from 1658 to 1666 CE.
