The list of historical mosques in Bhera is long. Qazianwali mosque, Haafizani mosque, Peeranwali mosque, Gondianwali mosques, Hakimwali mosque, Jamia Masjid Mohajirin in Pakhiwaran Mohallah are some of Bhera town’s well known historical mosques.
The Sheikhanwala mosque is noted for its elegant three domes and two turrets which add beauty to the structure. The façade of the mosque is now whitewashed but one can still see traces of the original decorative work on the walls particularly its main gate. The two octagonal towers on either side of the gate reflect the typical early Mughal style. However, the local people associate this mosque to the Khiljis. The boundary walls of the mosque look like a fortress reflecting the typical Central Asian style of mosque building.
Another mosque believed to have been built by Sher Shah Suri in 1541 is the Jamia Masjid in Bhera, the year that is inscribed on the entrance, has also been renovated. The mosque has three domes and arched entrances. Sher Shah Suri was a great builder. He is believed to have built many forts, mosques, baolis, sarais (inns) and tombs. However, the most commendable was the Great Trunk (GT) Road. He also excavated baolis (stepped wells) and built sarais on the GT Road for the travelers and his soldiers. The Jamia Masjid of Bhera was rebuilt by Qazi Ahmeduddin Bugvi in 1860 and later on repaired by Qazi Zahoor Ahmed Bugvi in 1926.
