Hisar once boasted of a large Muslim population. The city is home to several Islamic monuments, with some of the earliest ones dating back to the rule of Firoz Shah Tughlaq (1351 to 1388 AD). As is customary to the tombs of saints, mosques are erected next to their tombs. The Dana Shir Mosque is no different as it was built next to the tomb of Dana Shir Bahlul Shah. Despite being used as a temple from right after Partition the structure still looks like a mosque with its three large domes dominating the horizon.
