The Moi-e-Muqqadas is displayed on various occasions related with the life of the Prophet and his four holy companions. A glimpse of the Holy Relic, the major attraction of the holy place, leaves many devotees with moist eyes and the air reverberates with praises of the Prophet.
The brief disappearance of the holy relic from the shrine in December 1963 led to public upsurge in Kashmir, which continued for several weeks. The situation was so bad that it forced the then Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, to depute his trusted colleague, Lal Bahadur Shastri, to visit the Valley and supervise its retrieval.
In 1968, the Muslim Aauquaf Trust (now known as Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board), which looks after Hazratbal and most of Valley's shrines, hospices and mosques, and was then headed by Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah, started the construction of the present marble structure. The work was completed in 1979.
The pristine white marble elegance of the shrine and the view of snow-clad picturesque mountains beyond are reflected in the waters of the lake. The view and the holiness of the shrine make it a major tourist attraction in Srinagar. The only domed shrine in Srinagar, it is known by many names including Hazratbal, Assar-e-Sharif, Madinat-Us-Sani and Dargah Sharief. The Friday prayers offered at Hazratbal attract thousands of resident Muslims.
The importance of Hazratbal can be gauged also by the fact that Kashmir’s politicians, particularly Sheikh Abdullah, chose to make important announcements and decisions known to the public from the pulpit of this shrine.
