Khanqah-e-Moula is situated in Srinagar, on the banks of the river Jhelum. One of the oldest Muslim shrines in Kashmir, the khanqah was built by Sultan Sikander built in 1395. The Khanqah is a wooden structure whose chief aesthetic feature is its beautifully carved eaves and hanging bells. The interiors are richly carved and painted, and the antique chandeliers give it an air of opulence. The Khanqah-i-Mualla is dedicated to Muslim preacher Mir Syed Ali Hamdani..
.
Also known as Shah Hamadan, the preacher came to Kashmir from the city of Hamadan in Persia in the 13th century. He is believed to be responsible for the spread of Islam in Kashmir. The Shah stayed in Kashmir for many years and then left for Central Asia via Ladakh. He also built a mosque at Shey (near Leh). The shrine gains a special significance on 6th of Zilhaj (last month of Muslim calendar), the death anniversary of Mir Syed Ali Hamadni. On this day, devotees visit the shrine in large numbers to pay a tribute to Shah Hamadan..
.
The Khanqah of Shah Hamadan was the first mosque to be built in Srinagar. The Shah used to meditate and offer his prayers daily on the banks of river Jhelum, at the same spot where the shrine now stands. The Khanqah of Shah Hamadan in Kashmir has undergone ruination a couple of times. The year 1480 saw the shrine being ruined in a devastating fire. Later, the shrine was reconstructed and restored by the then ruler Sultan Hassan Shah. Again, in 1493 AD, Khanqah-e-Moula was demolished and reconstructed in two-stories. A fire again struck the shrine in 1731 AD leading to first its destruction and then renovation by Abul Barkat Khan.

This khanqah and Complex are built by Sultan Baybars II, or al-Malik al-Muzaffar Rukn al-Din Baibars al-Jashnakir al-Mansuri (r. 1309-1310). He is not to be confused with his more famous namesake, Baibars al-Bunduqdari (r. 1260-1277).
The khanqah (Sufi monastery) of Sultan Baybars al-Jashankir and its dependencies (some of which are no longer extant) were commissioned by him in 1307 while he was still a prince holding the position of jashankir (taster) at the court of Al-Nassir Muhammad ibn Qalawun's seconr reign (1299-1309). The complex was only completed between 1309 and 1310 after Baybars usurped the sultanate from Al-Nassir. It was then that he commissioned and dedicated the resources necessary for the erection of the minaret, portal and mausoleum.
After re-assuming the sultanate in 1310, Al-Nassir closed down the complex as a symbol of Baybars' defeat. It wasn't until Baybars was killed in 1325 that Al-Nassir ordered the complex be reopened, although Baybars' name was removed from the ceremonial tiraz.
This is the oldest surviving khanqah in Cairo, and the second to be built in the heart of the Fatimid city after Saladin turned the Fatimid Palace of Sa'id al-Su'ada' into a foundation for sufis.
It is the only extant Cairene khanqah displaying a four-iwan scheme, a concept borrowed from madrasa architecture. Also analogous to madrasa architecture from this early Bahri period is the introversion of the living units. The architect created a plan that accommodates a mausoleum with a vestibule that extends to the passersby and allows for a subtle adjustment of the Mecca-oriented interior to the street alignment.
The minaret is unique among the extant Cairene minarets of this specific type for substituting a circular second story for the standard octagonal one. The crowning element consists of a ribbed helmet on a circular pavilion with a muqarnas cornice adorning the base of the helmet.

Nizamuddin was called to appear at the courts of several Delhi sultans. Amir Khusro, his disciple who was the greatest poet of the time, often was the bearer of such requests/orders. But Nizamuddin never went - except once, to Ghiasuddin Tughlaq's court. Set up against him were more than 250 Islamic scholars and the local ulemma. The issue was whether Islam allowed music performances, samaa, as Nizamuddin nurtured in his khanqah. Nizamuddin said music surely had an exalted place in Islam and won the day against such a big assembly. Ghiasuddin sacked his top priest and accepted Nizamuddin's stance. It would take a few more centuries for the place of music in Islam in the Indian subcontinent to become more difficult.
