 Alauddin Khalji (1296–1315), a notorious Muslim ruler of the slave dynasty of Delhi Sultanate  raided with his highly motivated army and seized Khambhat in 1324. Being a religions bigot, he did not take much time to destroy the Hindu and Jain temples. Jami mosque is a good example of a spacious  structure  and it is the beginning of Islamic architecture in Gujarat. Jami Masjid is believed to have been constructed from the ruins of Hindu temples and other monuments as it is mentioned in the inscription on the wall of the mosque. The 100 columns supporting roofs in the open courtyard lend support to the inscription, for these huge columns were once part of Hindu or Jain temples.

 Umar bin Ahmad al-Kazaruni, a trader of the town seems to have taken care of the mosque construction work. Lack of minarets, domes, etc in the mosque suggests that the Indo- Muslim architecture was in its  early infancy here. The central arches display 'Torans', a feature native to Gujarat and the Gujarat Sultanate adopted it diligently in the structures.
The interior part of the mosque has a colonnaded open courtyard which is built with 100 columns supporting roofs built from ruins of Hindu and Jain temples.

Many compartments in the prayer hall have low domes atop and are different from those  which crown the mihrab's niches. The domes have  latticed windows made in the typical architectural style of Gujarat. The columns are  built in  two rows , each with  26 columns forming a passage that separates the wall in the front from the first row. Yet another feature is  there are eight rows formed by six pillars in each row. Closer to front part, these produce  14 chambers, each  topped by a dome. However,  arcaded entrances to the aisle of the mosque have a flat roof. The jambs here rise to a height of about 40 feet with sharp finials at top.
