Tomb of Hazrat Shah Rukn e Alam
The history of Multan covers thousands of years. The city,
known as the City of Saints, has been the residence of the saints of Allah, the
saints, the Akbaris, the poor and the scholars for hundreds of years.
Tomb of Hazrat Shah Rukn e Alam
The place of Hazrat Shah Rukn e Alam among these saints is like a
rose among flowers. He was the grandson of Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Multani
(RA) and the son of Hazrat Shaykh Sadr-ud-din Arif Rahmatullah.
This magnificent mausoleum is located in Qelha Qahna Qasim
Bagh, Multan, the fort is named after 17-year-old Muslim soldier Mohammed bin
Qasim. The ceremony was completed in 15 years.
Tomb Hazrat Shah Rukn e Alam is a mirror of dignity, dignity, and grandeur of glory as well. Prior to the 1970s, this magnificent tomb was
subjected to austerity due to the negligence of the time. The magnificent tomb
had been admired by the invading invaders of foreign invaders, and in 1971 a
widespread repairs project under the auspices of the Department of Defense
began. Archaeologist Khwaja Bashir Ahmad Naqshbandi continued to work as a
junior engineer in the project and also received the Aga Khan for Architecture
Award.
Restoring the dilapidated tomb back to its original state
was not an easy task, but the then archaeologist Waliullah Khan and his team
gladly accepted the challenge and made it impossible to cross all obstacles
along the way. Made possible. Waliullah Khan was very honest in archeology and
fully aware of his work. The current condition of the tomb was quite
dilapidated, and its bricks were constructed in accordance with the shape and
size of the old bricks. More than three and a half million pieces of timber
were also replaced. All this work was completed in March 1978. It can be said
with great certainty that this tomb is the first of its kind in the
subcontinent.
The building of the tomb of Hazrat Shah Rukn e Alam, the
elephant side, is 49 feet and 3.5 inches in diameter and the walls are vertical
while the entire height of the tomb from the floor is 100 feet. But the total
height of the tomb is due to being on a mound. It is 160 feet high. The
building is three stories high and the first floor is 41 feet and 3 inches,
while the thickness of the walls is 13 feet 10 inches to 14 feet 8 inches.
Pillars have been erected at the back of each corner to support the walls and
they are out of the wall and form a small dome as soon as the first floor is
finished.
The total length of these pillars is 53 and 3 inches.
The first floor is decorated with decorative strips from the bottom up to the
top, which was restored in true shape during a 1970s repair. Khurshid Ahmed has
been working as a repairman in this repair and still retains his memories in
the form of photographs. All of Waliullah Khan's supervision continued. He did
photography before work began. The reason was that the building remained in its
original condition.
The height of the second floor is 25 feet and 10
inches. Each side of this floor is a barbed wire window, which is decorated
with wood and glasswork. On either side are four beautiful flower-shaped
flowers called maid and Shamshad.
The third floor consists of a beautiful and charming
dome that is visible from miles away. This magnificent dome is plastered with
solid limestone while the bottom is nicely done and the terrific work of kashti
is related to the view. When you enter the mausoleum, you have a beautiful view
of the mantle.
Qelha Qahna Qasim Bagh
Inside the tomb, there is a beautiful and heart-rending the scene, where a book on a high platform is blessed with the tomb of Hazrat Shah Rukn e Alam. It has a beautiful marble arch on all four sides of
the center, while in the steps there are 58 tombs in the courtyard which are of
martyrs and caliphs. The shining light from the windows of the second floor
inside the shrine expresses relief from the tropical sunshine and also a sense
of eternal cooling and sacred tranquility in the last resting place of this
great Sufi elder. Inside the tomb, a fine and sophisticated network of wooden
pillars has been laid, which is the strength of this building. It has been
protected from earthquakes and bombers for hundreds of years. The timber
structure has been constructed on the basis of 32 columns. From the ceiling and
across the walls, the tomb is fully covered.
Inside the shrine is a beautiful wooden shrine on the
west side, 11 feet high and 7 wide. It is crafted from exquisite silkwood and
the entire verse from the fine engraving on the sides is inscribed on the
letter Coffey. The woodwork was worn out for a long time, and the interior,
especially on the west side, was in a dilapidated condition. Its wood was
reclaimed from the Peruval forest, which is the jungle of the government, and
wood was used throughout the shrine wherever it was needed.
There is also a beautiful mosque in the mausoleum of
the shrine. The mosque is also built of beautiful red fine bricks, while the
fine work of Kashi adds to its decoration.
The historical identity of Multan is similar to the
shrines of Hazrat Shah Rukn e Alam. The services of the Holy Prophet will be remembered
as an abomination and the sun will never be proud of the greatness of Islam in
this region.
