Hazrat Khuwaja Shah Mufti Mehmood Alwari A.S

A Shrine (Latin: scrinium "case or chest for books or papers"; Old French: escrin "box or case") is a Holy and deific place which is dedicated to a specific deity, ancestor, hero, martyr, saint, daemon or similar figure of awe and respect, at which they are venerated or worshiped. In Pakistan, there are countless widely known and esteemed Shrines of Saintly people, where gillions of people visit and pray for Saints. In our country where people do not have spaces to live often go to shrines and live there as well as working for the tomb which can be easily noticed by visiting any of the famous tomb. In Pakistan, India and Bangladesh where the scene of Shrines is overmuch similar,  the devotees of Saints arrange weekly gatherings specifically on Thursdays where they sing Qawalis, do Ziqr and serve food to poor people.

Now that I am pretty inspired from many people like famous philosophers , politicians , artists , singers and above all of them Saintly people. I'd like to introduce a famous tomb of great Saint in Hyderabad , Sindh. .
