The Shrine of Hazrat Shaykh Ahmed Badsha Peer is located in the historic Brook Street Cemetery in of Durban, South Africa. This is the final resting place and "Mazaar" (shrine) of the revered Sufi saint Hazrat Shaykh Ahmed Badsha Peer.[1]
The Shrine of Hazrat Badsha Peer is an important religious and spiritual landmark in Durban, especially for followers of Chishtiyya and Qadiriyya Sufi traditions. Annual urs gatherings are held at the site, attended by devotees from across the country. Though simple in appearance, the shrine holds a significant place in the spiritual memory of South African Muslims, especially among the early descendants of Indian indentured labourers who preserved Sufi customs in their new homeland.[2]
