History
Hazrat Sayyed Ali Mira Datar was born on 4th August 1426 C.E. (29th Ramazan 879 hijri) in the holy month of Ramzan. It is said he was born as a wali of Allah as his Face was glittering with the Spirtual lightning (noor), at Sayyedwada of Ahemdabad.
He took his basic education from Dadajan at Ahemdabad. He was very pious man. He spent most of his time in Ibaadat and study of Quran, Hadees and Sunnah. People used to approach him with their difficulties as he was believed to posses spiritual power and his prayers were accepted very soon by the Almighty.
He joined the army of Sultan Nasir al-Din Ahmed Shah (reign 1411-1442 C.E.) who had founded the city of Ahmedabad. He died as a martyr, defending Islam at a very young age. The martyardom of syed ali mira datar is 29 moharram 897. Thus the annual ‘Urs’ is held on 29th of Muharram every year.
Owing to the miraculous powers of healing, the honorific of “Mira Datar” came to be added to the name of Hazrat Sayyad Ali. The word, “Mira” means “The Brave One, ” and “Datar” (or Daata) means “Giver” or “Bestower”. This shrine is known for driving off evil forces and healing the ones, especially the women who are possessed by demons and evil Jinns.
