In Good Faith

Srinagar’s rich cultural heritage, unique antiquity and its colourful environment make it different from other cities of the world. The city’s blooming and well-maintained gardens, beautiful rivers and natural lakes, and green mountains with snow-capped peaks are like the shining jewels in the crown of this 2000-year-old human habitat at 1,730 m above sea level. The city has been home to many seers, saints, poets, thinkers and writers whose brilliance and contribution have accorded it much pride and distinction.

Srinagar’s dissimilarity also lies in its shrines, mosques, temples and other sacred religious places like Hazratbal, Khanqah-e-Molla, Dasgeer Sahib, Shankaracharya and Khir Bhawani temples and many other holy places. The historical and architectural significance of these places is also appealing to the visitors around the year.

On the western shore of famous Dal Lake stands Hazratbal (literally meaning the majestic place) shrine, a monument, which, vast majority of locals believe, houses a holy relic of Prophet Muhammad. The relic is known as Moi-e-Muqqadas or the sacred hair and was brought to Kashmir 300 years ago.

“The Moi-e-Muqqadas reached Kashmir in 1699. The relic was first brought to the Valley by Syed Abdullah, a saint who left Medina and settled in Bijapur, near Hyderabad in 1635. After his death, his son, Syed Hamid, inherited the holy relic. Hamid sold it to a wealthy Kashmiri businessman, Khwaja Nur-ud-Din Ishbari," says Tariq Ali Mir, a journalist and a student of history. “It was initially kept in Naqshband Sahib, (a shrine in the heart of the Srinagar city) but the shrine was small and therefore not capable of handling the huge crowds that flocked to the holly relic each day. So, the relic was shifted to Hazratbal,” Ali Mir added.
