Located
at the foot of Margalla Hills, a few miles away from the Prime Minister House,
the shrine of SHAH ABDUL LATIF KAZMI
( Bari Imam) is the center of hope for the disappointed, ill, heartbroken and
needy people of the subcontinent for centuries.
It’s
been more than 300 years when (Bari Imam) came to this place- barren land in
those days - from District Jhelum.
After helping his father in grazing animals, at
the age of 12, he left for Ghaur Ghashti (now Attock) to learn fiqh, hadith,
logic, mathematics, medicine and philosophy. The Saint is believed to meditate
there in a cave for about twelve years visited only by the wild beasts and
demons. A rock in that cave resembling a snake is also believed to be the
miracle turned into stone by the holy man for being the devil’s advocate to
break his meditation.
