Shaykh Syed Mir Mirak Andrabi

'Shayakh Syed Mir Mohammad Mirak Andrabi' ( 921-990 A.H.) is the fifth generation of Sadaat-Andrabia in the valley of Kashmir. His ancestors Syed Ahmad Andrabi (who was great grand father of Syed Mirak Andrabi)had migrated from Andarab, ( a valley located in the southern part of Baghlan province in the northeastern Afghanistan) along with 700 syed's with Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani in '781 A.H = 1379 C.E.' (in Reign of Sultan Qutbuddin) for the spread of Islam. After Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani went back, most of them lived in the valley including Syed Ahmad Andrabi. Syed Ahmad Andrabi died in (804 A.H. = 1402 C.E.). The ruler of that time, Sultan Sikander built a Khankah & Madrasa at Malaratta in Srinagar for him which is known as Khankah-i-Andrabia. This became the place of prayer, meditation and preaching for the generations to come.
