*Shrines of Amroha – Part 2*


*1) Shrine of Shah Nasiruddin Chishti*  

There was once a settlement at Shah Sahib’s shrine and an _urs_ was also held, but now it is deserted.


*2) Shrine of Shah Nizamuddin Suhrawardi*  

Your mausoleum is located in Mohalla Darbar Siya. It had lain deserted for a long time. In 1337 Hijri, Maulana Syed Abdur Rahman Makki had it rebuilt anew.


*3) Mausoleum of Arif Billah Hazrat Shah Shakarullah Qadri*  

Hazrat Arif Billah Shakarullah Qadri was himself a perfect saint of the Qadiriyya order, directly guided during Jahangir’s reign. Your spiritual lineage continued in Amroha for several generations. In the old documents of the city of Amroha, the signatures of Syed Qutbuddin and Syed Muhammad Afzal Sahib, Sajjada-nashin of Hazrat Shakarullah Arif Billah Qadri, are found with these words.


*4) Blessed Tomb of Hazrat Shah Abban Badr-e-Chishti*  

This is very famous and well-known. It is located south of the city near the railway station. The blessed resting place is on a raised platform. Earlier the platform was not high and had red stone slabs on it. When Pir Bukhara’s account is narrated, it is said that it was destroyed by some calamity and could not be rebuilt again. After that, beautiful engraved stonework, which bears witness in its very condition to the craftsmanship and artistry of its age, was placed on the steps of the platform. There was a solid boundary wall around the shrine, traces of which still remain. The tombs of your accomplished sons Shah Nuruddin, Shah Sadruddin, and other sons and grandsons are still present near the blessed resting place.


*5) Mausoleum of Sheikh Chahan Farooqi*  

Located near the population on the northern side of Talab Panwadi. This locality itself came to be called Mohalla Sheikh Chahan, which we mistakenly pronounce as Mohalla Sheikh Chahan.

Located in Mohalla Niaziyan. The mausoleum is in a vast enclosure which was earlier known as Sheikh Iraq.
