What is 'Fazal Manzil' when translated from Arabic to English?

After looking up the term, it is an Urdu term referring to a "House of Blessing". In Arabic, Manzel (منزل) refers to a house or residence. "Fazal" is more difficult to pin down in Arabic without a spelling. There are four different letters in Arabic that correspond with the Urdu "z". If it is FaDal (فضل) as I suspect, that word means "generosity". So "FaDal Manzel" would be "a house's generosity" in Arabic, which sounds rather weird, so I imagine that it is an Urdu-speaker's attempt to use Arabic words in Urdu as opposed to an Arabic-language phrase.
