Bareilly Sharif Dargah is a Dargah (shrine) or monument of Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi, a 19th-century islamic scholar and polymath, who is known for his staunch opposition of the Wahhabism movement in India. It is located in Bareilly district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.[1]

The Dome of the Dargah was designed by Shah Mehmood Jaan Qadri with the use of Matchsticks.[2]

Urs E Mubarak

In 2014 during the observation of the death anniversary of Ahmed Raza Khan (Urs-e-Razvi) at the Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat, Muslim clerics condemned the terrorism practiced by the Taliban and the ideology of the Wahhabi sect.[3] Although the Dargah was once the main site for the Urs-e-Razavi, the official Urs is also now observed in a dozen countries. This is due to the large crowds and the arrival of many scholars.[4]
