Indo Islamic Heritage
Khankahe Hazrat Abdul Shakur Shah R.A. (also known as Khankah or Dargah Sharif of Hazrat Abdul Shakur Shah Rehmatulla Allaiy) is a revered Sufi shrine and khanqah (Sufi hospice) located in Lala Bazaar, Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh. It serves as a spiritual center dedicated to the Sufi saint Hazrat Abdul Shakur Shah R.A., attracting devotees for ziyarat (visitation), qawwali sessions, urs celebrations, and religious gatherings. The site is a living place of devotion in the local Muslim community.
Khankahe Hazrat Abdul Shakur Shah R.A. is a prominent historical Islamic spiritual site in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, functioning as both a dargah (shrine) and khanqah associated with the Sufi saint Hazrat Syed Shah Abdul Shakur R.A. (often referred to as Baba Jaan or similar affectionate titles by devotees). This shrine is a focal point for Sufi traditions in the region, where followers gather to pay respects to the saint, participate in spiritual discourses (bayan), qawwali performances, and annual urs mubarak (death anniversary celebrations) that feature mushairas, live shows, and communal prayers. The saint Hazrat Abdul Shakur Shah R.A. is believed to have connections to Sufi lineages, with some accounts linking his origins to Kandahar, Afghanistan (born around 1831 in a respected Syed family), though the Fatehpur site appears to be a dedicated khanqah and mausoleum in his honor in India. It reflects the enduring influence of Sufism in northern India, blending reverence for pirs (spiritual guides) with community practices like monthly 20vi mubarak observances and yearly urs events. The shrine is situated in the bustling Lala Bazaar area of Fatehpur city, making it accessible and integrated into local life. It is listed among mosques and religious sites in directories and is actively maintained, with a dedicated online presence through channels sharing videos of events, qawwalis, and tributes.
