The Hazratbal Shrine (Kashmiri: حضرت بل,
हज़रतबल; Urdu:
حضرت بل, literally: Majestic Place), is a
Muslim shrine in Srinagar, India. It contains a relic believed by many Muslims
of Kashmir to be a hair of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The name of the shrine
comes from the Arabic word Hazrat, meaning holy or majestic, and the Kashmiri
word bal, meaning place.[1]
The shrine is situated on the left bank of the Dal Lake, Srinagar and is
considered to be Kashmir's holiest Muslim shrine.[2] The Moi-e-Muqqadas (the
sacred hair) of Mohammed is believed to be preserved here. The shrine is known
by many names including Hazratbal, Assar-e-Sharief, Madinat-us-Sani, or simply
Dargah Sharif.

[edit] History of the relic
According to legend, the relic was first brought to India by Syed Abdullah, a
descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad who left Medina and settled in
Bijapur, near Hyderabad in 1635. When Syed Abdullah died, his son, Syed Hamid,
inherited the relic. Following the Mughal conquest of the region, Syed Hamid
was stripped of his family estates. Finding himself unable to care for the
relic, he sold it to a wealthy Kashmiri businessman, Khwaja Nur-ud-Din Eshai.
However, when the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb came to know of what had transpired,
he had the relic seized and sent to the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti at
Ajmer, and had Khwaja Nur-ud-Din Eshai imprisoned in Lahore for possessing the
relic. Later, realizing his mistake, Aurangzeb decided to restore the relic to
Khwaja Nur-ud-Din Eshai and allowed him to take it to Kashmir. However, by that
point, Khwaja Nur-ud-Din Eshai had already died in imprisonment. In the year
1700, the relic finally reached Kashmir, along with the body of Khwaja
Nur-ud-Din Eshai. There, Inayat Begum, daughter of Khwaja Nur-ud-Din Eshai,
became a custodian of the relic and established the shrine.
Inayat Begum was married into the prominent Banday family in Kashmir, and since
then, her descendants from the Banday family have been the keepers of the
relic, known as Nishaandehs (literally: givers of the sign).[3]
