The most important Muslim Shrine of Kashmir, that commands the reverence of the people beyond measure, is undoubtedly the Hazratbal Shrine, which is situated on the left bank of the Dal lake in Srinagar. This unmatched reverence is anchored in the love and respect for The Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon Him), whose Moi-E-Muqqadas , (The Sacred Hair) is preserved here. The Shrine is known by many names including Hazratbal, Assar-E-Sharif, Madinat-Us Sani, Dargah Sharief and Dargah.The history of the Shrine goes back to the early seventeenth century when the Moughal Emperor Shah Jahan's Subedar, Sadiq Khan, laid out a garden here and constructed a palatial building, be converted into a prayer house
