Shah-i-Hamadan Masjid Shareef is a mosque located in the Bona Gratbal / Mir Mohalla Hergam area of Shopian town, in the Shopian district of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India (PIN 192303). The mosque serves the local Muslim community as a place of worship and congregational gathering, hosting the five daily prayers, Jummah (Friday) prayers, and special gatherings during Islamic festivals such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. There are no widely available published records online detailing the exact year of establishment or in-depth historical background for this particular mosque, as smaller neighbourhood mosques in Shopian are often known principally through local usage and community recognition. The mosque’s name, invoking Shah-i-Hamadan (a title associated with Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, a 14th-century Sufi saint whose teachings spread Islam in Kashmir), reflects the spiritual heritage and cultural influence of Sufi tradition in the region.
