    Masjid Wazir Khan was built in 1634 by Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari, Viceroy of Punjab under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (1592-1658). Ansari hailed from humble origins in the town of Chiniot in the Jhang district of the Punjab. He studied medicine under Hakim Dawi and was hired by the Mughal court as the personal physician of Prince Kuram, the future Shah Jahan. The young prince was so taken with Ansari's competence that he awarded him with the title Wazir Khan in 1620. Wazir is a title meaning "Minister" in Urdu.
