rdf:langString Mohri Sharif (Urdu موہری شریف) is a village in Tehsil Kharian, in the Gujrat District of Punjab, Pakistan. It lies midway between Lahore and Islamabad. Mohri Sharif and Kharian Tehsil have many of its population settled in European countries. The most famous place in Mohri Sharif is the shrine of Murshid-e Kamil, Qibla Aalam Khawaja Sufi Nawab uDeen, and Qayyum e Punjam Al-Haaj Khawaja Mohammad Masoom.Qibla e Aalam Sufi Nawab u Deen migrated to Mohri Sharif on 7 March 1931 following the word of his Sheikh. In the beginning he settled in the western part of Mohri Sharif. During that time, the landlord (Raja) of Mohri Sharif and his mother requested Sufi Nawab u Deen to accept their land in the eastern part of the town for Darbar's construction. He refused to take the land. Raja sahib insisted and offered a deal. If the distance between the house of Sufi Nawab uDeen's sheikh Hafiz Abdul Kareem and his darbar is same as the distance between Sufi Nawab uDeen's house and the proposed darbar site then Sufi Nawab u Deen must accept the land as Allah's will. Therefore, after measuring the distance, it turned out the distance is the same. Sufi Nawab uDeen accepted the land, considering it to be Allah's will. The surface of new proposed land was irregular and bumpy. It was quite hard work to make it smooth. Sufi Nawab u Deen and his companions constructed a majestic Jammiah Mosque, and even today a commanding tomb of Sufi Nawab u Deen is present in Mohri Sharif, where million of people visit every year. Darbar is now under the control of Government of Pakistan.
