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.
6) Mausoleum of Hazrat Sheikh Iraq
Located in Mohalla Niaziyan. The mausoleum is in a vast enclosure
which was earlier known as Sheikh Iraq.

Mirza Mazhar Jan-e-Janan in Samota Karim, a learned and practicing saint of
high spiritual rank.
