Madin Sahib

Jammu and Kashmir, India · built 1444

The Madin Sahib Mosque, or the Tomb of Madani, is a historic mosque and tomb located in the Zadibal area of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The complex is associated with Syed Mohammad Madani, a 15th-century religious scholar who settled in Kashmir during the reign of Shah Mir dynasty. The mosque and tomb are traditionally believed to have been built under the patronage of Sultan Zayn al-Abidin in 1444 CE. The monument is known for its surviving early glazed tilework in several colours, which considered among the important examples of pre-Mughal architectural decoration in Kashmir. The site is listed as a State-protected monument. Because of a long-running administrative dispute between Sunni and Shia communities, the mosque remained closed for worship for long periods during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
