Baha-ud-din Zakariya (Persian: بہاؤ الدین زکریا) was a Sufi of Suhrawardiyya order (tariqa). His full name was Al-Sheikh Al-Kabir Sheikh-ul-Islam Baha-ud-Din Abu Muhammad Zakaria Al-Qureshi Al-Asadi Al Hashmi. Sheikh Baha-ud-Din Zakariya known as Bahawal Haq was born at Kot Kehror, a town of the Layyah District near Multan, Punjab, Pakistan, around 1170. His grandfather Shah Kamaluddin Ali Shah Qureshi Al-Hashmi arrived in Multan from Mecca en route to Khwarezm where he stayed for a short while. In Tariqat he was the disciple of renowned Sufi master Shaikh Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi who awarded him Khilafat only after 17 days of stay at his Khanqah in Baghdad. For fifteen years he went from place to place to preach Islam and after his wanderings Bahawal Haq settled in Multan in 1222

Multan is known as the 'City of Saints'. The city is full of bazaars, mosques, shrines and superbly designed tombs. A network of rails, highways and air flights has well connected Multan to the rest of the world.

Multan Masoleum of Rukn-i-Alam at night

The tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam was built between 1320 and 1324, is an unmatched pre-Moghul masterpiece. The Mausoleum of Rukn-i-Alam could possibly be considered as the glory of Multan.

 

From whichever side the city is approached, the most prominent thing that can be seen from miles all around is a huge dome. This dome is the Shrine of the saint. The tomb is located on the southwest side of the Fort premises. This elegant building is an octagon, 51 feet 9 inches in diameter internally, with walls 41 feet 4 inches high and 13 feet 3 inches thick, supported at the angles by sloping towers. Over this is a smaller octagon 25 feet 8 inches, on the exterior side, and 26 feet 10 inches high, leaving a narrow passage all round the top of the lower story for the Moazzan, or public caller to prayers. The whole is surmounted by a hemispherical dome of 58 feet external diameter. The total height of the building, including a plinth of 3 feet, is 100 feet. As it stands on the high ground, the total height above the road level is 150 feet.

 

Besides its religious importance, the mausoleum is also of considerable archaeological value as its dome is reputed to be the second largest in the world, after Gol Gumbaz of Bijapur, India, which is the largest.[citation needed] The mausoleum is built entirely of red brick, bounded with beams of shisham wood, which have now turned black after so many centuries. The whole of the exterior is elaborately ornamented with glazed tile panels, string-courses and battlements. Colors used are dark blue, azure, and white, contrasted with the deep red of the finely polished bricks.

 

The tomb was said to have been built by Ghias-ud-Din Tughlak (r. 1320-1325) for himself during the days of his governorship of Depalpur, between 1320 and 1324 AD, but was given by his son, Muhammad bin Tughluq to the descendents of Shah Rukn-e-Alam for the latter’s burial in 1330.

 

The mausoleum of Rukn-e-Alam has been admired by not only the travelers and chroniclers but also by the art-historians and archaeologist who wrote the architectural history of the subcontinent.

 

In the 1970s the mausoleum was thoroughly repaired and renovated by the Auqaf Department of the Punjab Government. The entire glittering glazed interior is the result of new tiles and brickwork done by the Kashigars of Multan.

تاریخ کو اپنے وجود سے شرمندہ کرتا ہوا یہ قدیم شہر ملتان کے نام سے جانا اور پہچانا جاتا ہے ۔کرشن اور جمباوتی کی منتوں مرادوں سے مانگی ہوئی اولاد سامبا نے سورج کے دیوتا کے لیے شہر کے بیچو بیچ جو مندر تعمیر کروایا تھا اسی نسبت سے شہر کو مول استھان پکارا جانے لگا۔ جو مولتان سے ملتان ہو گیا۔ خارجی دروازوں سے منسلک فصیل نے شہر کے اندرون کو ماں کے دامن کی طرح صدیوں سے سمیٹا ہوا تھا کہ بالائی پنجاب کے راجہ رنجیت سنگھ کے حملے نے اسے بکھیر کر رکھ دیا۔ ملتان اپنے ہی دروازوں سے باہر آ گیا۔ چناب کے کناروں نے فاصلہ کر لیا۔ یوں وہ شہر جہاں سے پورے ہندوستان میں ہولی کا تہوار شروع ہوا تھا پھیکا پڑتا گیا۔

گو اندرون شہر میں وقت کے بھاری وجود سے دبی کہنہ عمارتیں اب بھی گزری عظمتوں کا پتہ دیتی ہیں۔ لیکن یہاں پر بسنے والے لوگوں کی آنکھوں میں سفر کی تھکان دکھائی دینے لگ پڑی ہے۔ دور جدید کے تقاضوں نے ان کو اسی شہر میں ہی اجنبی کر دیا ہے جس کو ان کے آباؤ اجداد نے کئی قرن آباد رکھا۔ اب پرانے شہر سے ان کو صرف وسائل کی کمی نے باندھ رکھا ہے وگرنہ یہ لوگ بھی کھیتوں کو تیاگ کر تعمیر کیے جانے والی ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹیز میں منتقل ہو چکے ہوتے۔

Solar power systems have been installed in thousands of schools in Punjab, Pakistan with support from ADB’s Access to Clean Energy Investment Program. These schools are off-grid or used to experience frequent power outages. Now that they have reliable electricity, classrooms have proper lighting, ventilation, and access to drinking water, vastly improving the learning environment for students especially amid the sweltering summer heat in the southern part of the province.

Shah Rukn e alam is a famous sufi saint of Multan who spread Islam in the south Asian population by his character and humbleness. He was the grand-son of Bahauddin Zakaria who himself was a saint. The tomb was built between 1320 and 1324 CE in the pre-Mughal architectural style. The tomb is said to have built by Ghias-ud-Din Tughlak (r.1320-1325 AD) during his governorship of Depalpur. The tomb is a famous architectural master-piece. And an important part of Multan's identity.

Within the city of Multan Pakistan there is shrine of Hazrat Muhammad Shah Yusaf Gardezi commonly known as Shah Gardez just inside the Bohar Gate. It is a rectangular domeless building decorated with glazed tiles, a work of considerable beauty. He came to Multan in 1088 and revitalized the then-dead city.

The majority of Multan's residents speak a language called Saraiki. The overwhelming majority of the people are Muslim. Most of the people speak Saraiki language with a good portion of the people conversant in Urdu. English is understood by the educated.

 

Multan has traditionally been a melting pot of several regional as well as distinct ethnic groups due to it location near four of Pakistan's main provinces and it historical significance as a centre of learning, culture. As a result, Multan of today consists of Baloch, Pashtun, Panjabi, Saraiki (a transition group between Panjabi and Sindhi), Afghan, Persian and mohajir's who recently arrived at the time of independence in 1947.

 

Old Bazars of Multan are famous all over the world beacuse of its traditional and cultural shops. Narrow markets markets. They are famous for its handicrafts (carpets & ceramics) and cottage industries.

Multani khussa (traditional shoes), embroidery on dresses for women and men, furniture and other wooden products, earthenware pottery, painted pottery, camel-skin ware (e.g. lamps), surgical instruments and carpets are a few of the city's major items with a great demand within the country as well overseas.

I think I have the title right. Let me know if it is not.

Hyperlapse: A timelapse (video in which the time appears to be lapsing) in which the camera is also moving..

I could not find any hyper lapse movies shot in Pakistan. This makes it the first Pakistani city to be hyperlapsed. Months of shooting (mostly on holidays) and weeks of editing. Took thousands of photos mostly manually (without interval shooting mode) moving the camera inch by inch after each shot to make the camera angle moving. Hopefully you like it.

Inzamam-ul Haq reminded me of a banyan tree; huge, immovable, cool, soothing, roots everywhere you see; roots that can slow you down or roots that can provide strength. There was a timelessness about him that made urgency seem an irrelevant fetish. And yet he also reminded me of a sitar player who plucks each string carefully, each motion designed to produce a specific piece of music, every note in place and unhurried; occasionally glancing at the tabalchi, giving him a moment and moving on.

 

He was not the prancing guitarist, no extraordinary flurry of activity to produce a short, breathtaking burst of music. He was unlikely to say “aah, baby” everytime a word eluded him. The world needs those too, only they were born elsewhere; where the wind had several appointments to keep in a day. In Inzamam’s house, the wind came to stay, produced a couple of delicate zephyrs, curled its way round and lingered over its goodbye.

 

In Inzamam’s world, the child could come charging in saying “abbu, abbu, dekhiye to kya ho raha hai” and he would listen carefully and say “acchha, zara chai khatam karke dekh lete hain. Arre bhai woh biskut kahan gaya.” That kind of world!

 

And it is hard to imagine that Inzamam came into world cricket as a destroyer. He played an extraordinary New Zealand side, for whom the whole had a ridiculous exponential relation to the sum of the parts, twice in a few days in the 1992 World Cup and broke as many hearts as is possible in a country of such few. Suddenly the world was watching him and listening to Imran Khan, the finest picker of talent in the game.

 

We were in Australia before the World Cup when Imran’s opinion on a relatively unknown Inzamam became known. Then, like always, he found creative ways of getting run out and people had begun to wonder if Imran had played a mind game by throwing in this lumbering young giant. He was to justify his captain’s faith; like Wasim and Waqar did. It’s not a bad trio that and who knows Imran as Prime Minister might discover a similar defence, finance and home minister!

 

But this lumbering giant had another quality. He had eyes that spotted things before a predator, a trickster or a politician could. He was a great judge of length and pace and so seemed to have the time against bowlers when others seemed to be as much in haste as a just departed train. And word began filtering through that the best player against Waqar and Wasim in their prime was Inzamam in the nets.

 

His laidback style seemed to push the headlines away. And so while the world talked of Tendulkar and Mark Waugh, of an emerging Lara and in course of time of an emerging Ponting, there wasn’t the same flurry of adjectives with Inzamam. Two years after that World Cup I saw him decimate New Zealand again at Sharjah and he was as brutal as his style would allow him to. It wasn’t just a flat deck and a reluctant attack, it was a batsman who wore the cloak of majesty.

 

As captain he had to be seen to be here, there and everywhere on the field, darting between press conferences, interviews, practice sessions, selection committee meetings and barbs from volatile team-mates. These were not slings and arrows, for Inzamam, they seemed to be mines and missiles and clearly he did not enjoy them. He was, initially, a reluctant leader of men for it seemed then that he had to escape his world and embrace another. When the little child ran in and said “abbu, abbu, dekhiye to kya ho raha hai” he had to bound out of his chair and say “chalo dekhte hain abhi”.

 

To be captain of Pakistan is to be permanently on the war-front, to be a Genghis Khan or a Mahmud of Ghazni. Inzamam was more Bahadur Shah Zafar, to whom the ghazal was more important than the cannon. His dynasty had seen Babar and Aurangzeb, only the occasional Shah Jahan, but the last Mughal emperor was more likely to go into battle saying “wah bhai Zauq, ek aur sher sunaen” or “miyan Ghalib, is jang ke baare me aapki kalam kya kehti hai?”

 

But unlike Bahadur Shah Zafar who wasn’t much of a warrior and ended up being imprisoned, Inzamam could bat. He was one of the highlights of his era. He made many thousands but the last three eluded him. It is like that in life sometimes but it does not belittle him in the least.

Ghanta Ghar or Clock Tower of Multan was built in 1884 A.D. during British Raj in South Asia. After passing municipal act 1883 British needed offices to run the city. They started constructing Ghanta Ghar in Multan on 12 February 1884 and it took 4 years to completely build this building. It was constructed over the ruins of Haveli of Ahmad Khan Sadozai which was completely destroyed during Siege of Multan. The hall was named "Ripon Hall" after the viceroy of India at that time. Later changed to "Jinnah Hall" after independence of Pakistan. The clock stopped working in 1985. Now the machinery and needles have been changed and working on solar energy now.

Multan the city of Saints and tombs.

Tomb or Shrine of the famous Sufi Saint Hazrat Baha-ud-din Zakariya in Multan, Pakistan, who died in 1257 AD. The tomb consists of two tiers, with the lower one having a traditional square base, whereas the upper one is octagonal. The material and décor are made of bricks and blue ceramics. It features the earliest example of blue tilework in the subcontinent.

Multan, November 16, 2015 – Mr. John Groarke, Mission Director of the United States Agency for International Development, and Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Tahir Amin performed the groundbreaking ceremony of the USAID-funded Faculty of Education building at the Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan today. Consul General Lahore, Zachary Harkenrider, as well as students, faculty, educators and government officials attended the event to celebrate the partnership in higher education and research between the United States and Pakistan.

  

“This Faculty of Education will serve to advance not only the quality of teacher training, but also the progress and prosperity of Punjab and Pakistan,” stated Mr. Groarke, addressing a gathering of university students, faculty and members of the community.

  

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Tahir Amin, appreciated the efforts of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and partner universities for carrying out this initiative.

  

The USAID-funded Faculty of Education building – being built at a cost of $1.5 million – is an environmentally-conscious and earthquake-resistant facility with accessibility features for persons with disabilities. Once completed, the building will cover 24,134 square feet of covered area, and include a 200-person multi-purpose hall, classrooms, conference room, seminar room, library, common rooms, and post-graduate and administrative offices. This facility will cater to approximately 275 students and 15 faculty members and other staff. Other features include low maintenance design, energy-efficient and green building concepts, and landscaping.

  

USAID Pakistan is providing $45 million for the construction or rehabilitation of 17 higher education institution buildings across Pakistan, including 6 projects in Punjab: two at the University of Punjab and one each at Fatima Jinnah Women University, University of Education- Lahore, Islamia University- Bahawalpur and Bahauddin Zakariya University-Multan. Seven of 17 Faculty of Education buildings have been completed and the remaining 10 will be finished in 2016. Combined, these facilities will have the capacity to support more than 5,000 students and 200 faculty members each year.
