Our Story
Abdullah Shah Ghazi (Arabic: عبد الله شاه غازى ) is considered to be patron saint of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The dargah of Abdullah Shah Ghazi is located in Clifton neighbourhood of Saddar Town in Karachi. History: Abdullah Shah Ghazi was the great grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from the linage of Hasan Ibne Ali Ibne Abu Talib[R.A.], making him a member of the Ahl al-Bayt. The growing popularity of Abdullah Shah(ra) caused concern amongst the Ummayyad dynasty who dispatched an army to Sindh. The Ummayyads, and their successors the Abbasids, were known for their hatred of the Banu Hashim (the tribe of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) and Hadrat Ali ibn Abu Talib r.a.) and mercilessly tracked and killed thousands of members of this tribe. Abdullah Shah(r.a.) was on a hunt in what is now present day Karachi, when the Ummayyad army intercepted his party. Out numbered, Abdullah Shah(r.a.) still chose to fight rather than submit to the Umayyad army. It is because of his display of valor in the face of the Ummayyad army that Abdullah Shah(r.a.) was given the honorable title of "Ghazi" meaning "victorious". His shrine in Karachi is dated back to 1400 years ago, his brother, Misry Shah, who is also buried along the coastline in Karachi, is also remembered as a saint. Many people claim to have been granted their wishes at the shrine and it is the center for people who throng the shrine all year round. Every year marks the Urs (festival) at the shrine for 3 days (dates: 20-22 Dhu al-Hijjah - 12th month of the Islamic calendar), marking the anniversery of Abdullah Shah Ghazi(r.a.). A famous myth about the mazar is that Karachi never had a tropical disaster in a thousand year because of the shrine's blessing. Abdullah Shah Ghazi(r.a.) is revered by both Sunni and Shia alike, however his blood line gives him a special status in the Shia community by some. Some people also say that Muhammad bin Qasim(r.a.) was sent for Abdullah Shah Ghazi(r.a.). =================================== HAZRAT ABDULLAH SHAH GHAZI ( RAHMATULLAH ALLAIH ) is one of the Greatest and Famous Sufi saint. Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA). Belongs to the 4th generation of Hazrat Amir ul Momineen Hazrat Ali Karam Allahu Wajhu. Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA) migrated from Arab to Karachi area and took wisal here. A VERY FAMOUS AND GREAT MIRACLE AT DARGAH SHAREEF'S WELL : The Dargah Shareef of Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA) is adjacent to sea ( Arbia sea ). The sea water and water of other wells in this area are salty. But the water in Dargah shareef of Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA) is very sweet, which is a great miracle and many people say the holy water of this dargah shareef is a great tabaruk and many people get cure by drinking this water. =================================== The Tomb of Abdullah Shah Ghazi(r.a.), is located at perched on a hilltop overlooking Clifton Beach, Karachi, Pakistan. The tomb is built on a very high platform, but actual grave is downstairs. The tomb has its tall square chamber and green-and-white striped dome, decorated with flags and bunting, Abdullah Shah Ghazi's(r.a.) tomb attracts a steady stream of devotees who shuffle forward to caress the silver railing around the burial place and drape it with garlands of flowers. People who maintain this play say that Muhammad Bin Qasim(r.a.) was sent for Abdullah Shah Ghazni(r.a.) in 8-9 century. Syed Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA) was a ninth-century sufi who claimed direct descent from the Prophet and is thought of by his followers as something like the patron saint of Karachi. People, most of them Muslims, come here to pay homage to him from across the country. ===================================
