The Makhdum Sahib Mosque is a hidden jewel in the middle of a strictly guarded residential area that also has a tomb of some medieval person about whom I know little since there was no tour guide available.
The premises are spacious, shaded, and have sprawling lawns.
This place is well-maintained and has a security guard.
The overall monument is in a good condition and consists of the main Chhatri and several tombs lying around.
This is actually a dargah and of Mir Syed Mahmood Roohi Burka Posh alias Makhdoom Sabzwari who migrated from Iran to India to spread Islam. It is ironic that both Iranians and Indians had a flourishing culture and religions before Islam arrived and Iran embraced Islam 100% within 50 years but 85% of India is still a Hindu country after 500 years of fierce resistance.
Makhdum Sahib is the ancestors of the Rizvi clan people leaving in Chholas And Jarcha Sadat village located in the Gautam Budh district of Uttar Pradesh.
A monument preserved by ASI and has a strong influence of local afghani architecture while the rest of the structures are clearly Hindu temples converted to mosques or tombs.
How to Reach
I would have loved to reach there on my bike but it is now more than 20 years old and vehicles older than 15 years are not allowed on Delhi roads anymore.
So I took a metro from IFFCOChowk in Gurugram on the Yellow Line and deboarded at Hauz Khas in Delhi and took an AutoRickshaw for INR 40 to reach the Makhdum Sahib Tomb.
