SAYED ALI ISHAQ MADANI (R.A)

The Beautiful Dargah Shareef of Hazrat Ishaq Madani (R.A) is located adjacent to Sea Shore with a beautiful view of mountains and seashore with a breath-taking view of ships and submarines entering and leaving the harbor.

This is the Dargah Sharif of Hazrat Syed Ali Ishaq Madani Aulia (R.A) in Visakhapatnam, A.P India. Hazrat Ishaq Madani (R.A) came from Madina (Saudi) and was the first great Muslim saint in the coastal area of Andhra Pradesh. The Dargah Shareef is at the beautiful location at the top of a Hill, which is adjacent to the sea Harbor and there is a flight of wide steps leading up to the Dargah Shareef.

A stone found in this Dargah Shareef is recorded by Epigraphy Department of Govt of India, indicates that the burial took place in the year 1257 AD, from which it is evident that the Dargah Shareef existed even before 1257. The Dargah of Hazrat Ishaq Madina (R.A) is the oldest building in Visakhapatnam built before 1257, which houses the Mazaar e Mubarak (mausoleum) of Hazrat Ishaq Madina, a respected Awliya’Allah (friend of Allah)

City Visakhapatnam is on the coastal belt of Bay of Bengal Sea. Prior to Ishaq Madani (R.A) settlement in Visakhapatnam, high-altitude sea waves always drowned the coastal belt of Visakhapatnam, however, the Awliya’Allah (friend of Allah) still choose this place for his settlement, which was right adjacent to the Sea Harbor.

Almighty Allah has blessed him with so much mystic power that, Ishaq Madani (R.A) hit at a place with his scepter (stick) and ordered the sea, NOT to cross that Marking. This Marking place is still recognized and respected by the people of Visakhapatnam. The marking is on the flight of steps which leads to the Dargah Shareef.

After he got settled in Visakhapatnam, the entire coastal belt became a lively environment and people lived without any danger of high altitude sea waves, however sea level of Visakhapatnam is still 45 M above the actual ground level but the Sea does not enter the Visakhapatnam city due to the blessing of Hazrat Ishaq Madani (R.A)

It is speculated that the town Visakhapatnam was originally known by the name of this Saint as Ishaq-Pattan, which over time got changed to Vizagapatam or Visakhapatnam.

Ishaq Madani (R.A) mostly lived along with the poor people and especially fishermen loved and praised him. A historian in 1869 documented that every vessel (ship) entering or leaving the harbor would lower and hoist the flag 3 times, in this way the sailors of all faiths, offered they respect to the Dargah Shareef, as his blessing bestowed the safe passage.

King Aurangzeb who ruled in the late 17th century, used to send Salam to every Dargah (Mazaar) he visited. Aurangzeb sent his Salam (Salutations) to this Dargah Shareef but got back the reply late from this Dargah Shareef. Hearing back the reply to his Salam, he renovated (rebuild) the Dargah Shareef.

There is also a very old Masjid, besides the Dargah Sharif, which was renovated (rebuilt) by Aurangzeb's army and named it as Alamgir Mosque in honor of the ruler. There is also historical evidence that a Muslim ruler granted two villages, namely Yerrada and Devada as Inam (gift) to the caretakers of this Dargah Shareef.

Every year Urs ceremony is celebrated in this Dargah Shareef, where lakhs of people come and take the blessings of Awliya’Allah (Friend of Allah) Hazrat Ishaq Madani (R.A). The Dargah of Hazrat Ishaq Madani (R.A) is a symbol of peace love and harmony among Hindus, Muslims, and Christians.

Every Dargah Shareef has a peaceful environment but at the Dargah of Hazrat Ishaq Madani (R.A), you will also find a beautiful view of mountains, seashore, and the harbor with a breath-taking view of ships and submarines entering and leaving the harbor.

The Dargah Shareef is in Soldierpet, Kota Veedi, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India.

ABOUT HAJJ

IHajj is one of the pillars of our faith. Hajj is the pilgrimage to the Holy land of Makkah. It is enjoined on a Muslim to go at least once in his life if one has the means. This means you would need to commit financially, physically and spiritually and also be of sound mind. This post would help you figure out where to start in preparing for Hajj and even some resources. The pilgrimage takes place in the last month of Islamic calendar Dhul-Hijjah and the rites are performed between the 8th and 12th days of the month. As it follows the lunar calendar, the dates change every year. The rites of Hajj date back to the Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). And while performing hajj, one would walk the path the blessed Prophet Muhammad ﷺ walked. Hajj is a total transformational experience. SubhanAllah! it is truly the journey of a lifetime. You become washed of your sins and have a renewed faith. It goes beyond the rites of pilgrimage too. You find that you learn so much about yourself. Should you be ble

MY HEART CRAVES FOR YOU, O MADINAH!..

I just want to be there. Always and forever.. In the comfort of the city of my beloved Salallahu alayhi wa sallam.. In the serenity of Taiba… O the one who receives an invitation to Madinah, You are more fortunate than anyone in this world… Every day in Madinah is blessed… Every breath you take in Madinah is blessed… Every blink of an eye in Madinah is blessed… Every gaze on the Blessed Green Dome is from the fortunes of Paradise… O the one who receives an invitation to Madinah, blessed are you, so envious I am of you… Every Salaam you say, every greeting you greet with, every word you utter is more blessed than my existence in any other place… اللهم كما رزقتنا سكني المدينة، فلا تحرمنا حسن الخاتمة فيها، والدفن في بقيتها، اللهم لا تبعدنا عن المدينة احياء و امواتا.. آمين O Allah, like how You have sustained us with staying in Madinah, then do not deprive us of a good end in it and being buried in its Baqi, O Allah, do not make us far from Madinah while we alive or while we are d

Zam Zam Well

Allah (the Glorified and Exalted) created the well to provide Hajira, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him), and her baby Prophet Ismail (Ishmael) (peace be upon him) with water in the hot and dry valley they were in. In her desperate search for water, Hajira ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwa to provide for her baby who was dying of thirst. The Zamzam Well is located approximately 20 meters (66 ft) east of the Kaaba.

Taneem Mosque (Masjid Ayesha)

The mosque is roughly 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from Masjid al-Haram. This mosque is also known as Masjid Ayesha. “When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed his pilgrimage, he advised his companions to start with the Umrah and wait for the pilgrimage days to start on their major duty. However, Ayesha was on her menstrual period and was unable to perform the Umrah on her arrival. When she mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that she would go back having performed the pilgrimage only while others did both duties, he told her brother to take her to the nearest point outside of the Haram area. He took her to Taneem where she started her Ihram again and came back to perform the Umrah.
