Taj Mahal is the temple of Shiva, Tajendra is one of the name of Shiva. It was a Shiva temple inside the palace of Jagat Singh, grandson of Man Singh, the commander in chief of Akber. It was not a Muslim building at all because (a) it is facing east like any Hindu building; (b) it is octagonal as recommended by Hindu architectures, (c) it has motifs of Lotus important for Hindus but prohibited in Muslim architectures.
Arab beduins, Turks and Mongols, the Muslims who invaded India were barbarians, nomadic, uncivilised people. They never had any buildings in their own countries which are still mainly deserts. They could not design a building like Taj Mahal.
