*Shrines of Amroha*


*1) Shrine of Haji Sulaiman and Haji Abdullah*  

This small shrine is located near the mosque in Mohalla Shahi Chabutra. Detailed information about the owners of the tomb is not known. However, the shrine is very old in Amroha. It is narrated that during the arrival of Ghazi in the east, both were saints of high spiritual rank. In 177 Hijri, during the reign of Shah Jahan, Sheikh Mansoor, son of Sheikh Tajuddin, had the shrine built.


*2) Mausoleum of Syed Nizam Ganj Raw*  

The mausoleum of Syed Sahib is located in a small enclosure behind the long-road mosque in Mohalla Naubat Khana. Among the saints of Amroha, his era is the oldest. The grave of Dildar Shah Majnu is also near his shrine. 


The shrine of Shah Akbaruddin Suhrawardi is located in Taq. You came to Amroha about a century before the time of Hazrat Shah Wilayat. Your shrine is located about one _furlong_ to the south of Hazrat Shah Wilayat’s shrine. The _khirni_ tree near the entrance to the tomb still exists today. They say there is no tree older than it in Amroha.


*3) Mausoleum of Haji Harman Suhrawardi*  

Located on a platform just north of the shrine of Shahabuddin Suhrawardi. The grave of your revered mother is also beside it. On your blessed resting place, there is an inscription engraved on a stone that is not clearly legible. Sheikh Abdul Hakim was the ancestor of the family known as Sheikh-al-Mulaqqab.


*4) Shrine of Hazrat Shah Wilayat*  

The famous and well-known shrine of Amroha is the resting place of Hazrat Shah Wilayat. Among his many miracles, one especially famous is that scorpions in the shrine do not sting. And indeed, non-venomous scorpions are found here, which the children of the attendants catch and show to visitors. 


In the shrine of Shah Wilayat, from the olden days, besides the grave, no traces of a boundary wall or any other building existed. During the reign of Emperor Muhammad Shah, Sheikh Ghulam Muhammad, who was among the esteemed nobles of the royal court, built the present boundary wall, _baradari_, and mosque at his own expense. 


Later, the southern-facing city gate was built by Gulzar Ali, and the northern-facing gate was built by Syed Ejaz Husnain of Mohalla Gujri. 


Beside Hazrat Shah Wilayat is the grave of your revered wife, and at his feet is the tomb of your elder son Qadri Syed Amir Ali and his wife. And at their feet are the graves of Shah Wilayat’s younger son Syed Abdul Aziz and his wife. And at their feet are the graves of Shah Wilayat’s grandsons. 


A little further, on the northern side, is the blessed tomb of Syed Ashraf Jahangir Chishti, grandson of Hazrat Shah Wilayat, also known as Sharfuddin. And near it are the graves of that family. 


Inside the boundary wall is the radiant tomb of Sheikh Muinuddin Nagauri Khudsar, the spiritual guide and caliph of Hazrat Shah Wilayat. 


In the shrine compound is the tomb of Syed Muhammad Abdul, grandson of Shah Wilayat. Its enclosure was built by Syed Ali Muzaffar Khan bin Syed Aman Ali Khan of Ghadhiyal.
