Mohra Sharif (Holy Village; Mohra for "small village" and Sharif for "holy" or "noble") is an isolated mountain monastery and home of the Naqshbandia Mujaddadiya Sufi order. The order is Naqshbandi in origin, and is based in a small village called Mohra Sharif located in the Murree hills of Punjab, Pakistan outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
Mohra Sharif was made into a spiritual center by Baba Ji Muhammad Qasim Sadiq (b. 1263 A.H.) at the guidance of his spiritual leader Khwaja Nizam ad Din and spent the remaining seventy years of his life in this remote village.
After his death on November 20th 1943, familial disputes arose around the question of succesion and the order split into two parts. One, being led by his eldest son Pir Nazeer Ahmed was later renamed Nisbat-e-Rasooli and the other led by his third son Pir Muhammad Zahid Khan was called Qasimiya.
Current Status
Currently the Nisbat-e-Rasooli order is being led by Pir Haroon al Rasheed and Qasimiya order is being led by Pir Auliya Badshah Farooq.
