Firangi Mahal Interactive map of Firangi Mahal Location Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India History Built 17th century

**Firangi Mahal** is a building complex located in [Lucknow](/source/Lucknow), [Uttar Pradesh](/source/Uttar_Pradesh), [India](/source/India). The word [Firang](/source/Firang) (originally referring to Franks) refers to Europeans and *[Mahal](/source/Mahal_(palace))* means palace in [Persian](/source/Persian_language). The name originated from the fact that original owners of this Mahal were [Europeans](/source/Europeans). During the period of [Mughal Emperor](/source/Mughal_emperors) [Aurangzeb](/source/Aurangzeb), some French businessmen used to stay at this Mahal when they visited, such as the first owner of this Mahal, Niel. The building was an architectural building of some repute but was later confiscated by the government.

It was later given over to the adviser Aurangzeb known as Mullah Asad bin Qutub Shaheed and his brother Mulla Saeed bin Qutubuddin Shaheed. These two brothers made this Mahal a center of Islamic learning. It has been compared with [Cambridge University](/source/Cambridge_University) and [Oxford University](/source/Oxford_University) as a center of culture and learning.[1]

## Khilafat Movement

Main article: [Khilafat Movement](/source/Khilafat_Movement)

During the period of the Khilafat Movement, [Mahatma Gandhi](/source/Mahatma_Gandhi) once stayed for some time in Firangi Mahal and brought his goat with him. The Muslims in and around the Firangi Mahal stopped consuming meat during his stay, as a token of respect. [Maulvi](/source/Mawlawi_(Islamic_title)) [Abdul Bari](/source/Abdul_Bari_Firangi_Mahali) claimed Gandhi as a leader of both Hindus and Muslims. Bari was a strong advocate of [Hindu-Muslim unity](/source/Hindu-Muslim_unity) in the nation. Leaders like [Jawaharlal Nehru](/source/Jawaharlal_Nehru) and [Sarojini Naidu](/source/Sarojini_Naidu) were among those who visited Firangi Mahal to bring all the communities in the fold of freedom struggle. The [ulema](/source/Ulama) from the Firangi Mahal were in favour of the [Khilafat Movement](/source/Khilafat_Movement). However, the ulema were sentenced to death by the British for issuing a jihad [fatwa](/source/Fatwa) against them.[2]
