#Qaboola

Pakpattan is the famous district of Punjab province, also known as the city of saints. Many Muslim Sufi saints worked here for the glory of Islam. Other than Muslims, Sikh spiritual leaders also did meditation in this region. The old name of Pakpattan was Ajodhan. The old city though was established on a big mound called Dhaki meaning "something hidden'. Dhaki is at a higher altitude than the area around and is called the original citadel of Pakpattan. There were gates to enter the city, entering the once walled inner-city through one of the existing gates, you will find yourself in the archetypal form of an ancient town, with crooked and narrow streets, dense housing, and intricate woodwork on jharokas, bay windows, and doors. So many historic cities have developed, losing much of their original character in the process during modern times, but Pakpattan has survived remarkably intact. It is the entire urban fabric of the place that is historic. Though, the major portion of the fortification wall has disappeared. At places, the wall has even been utilized as a part of the residences. Four gates (Shahedi, Rehimun, Abu, and Mori) have survived out of six but they are all crumbling. Now extensive suburbs stretch from the foot of the wall all around.
The medieval history of the town started when Amir Subuktagin subdued Pakpattan in 980 A.D. According to Farishta, an old writer and historian the fort defending the city was once captured by Subuktagin in 977-8 A.D followed by Ibrahim Ghaznavi in 1079-80 A.D. The town owes its sanctity and modern name, 'the holy ferry', to the shrine of the great Muslim Sufi Farid-ud-Din, Shaikh-ul-Islam, Farid-ul-Hakkwa-ud-Din, Shakar Ganj (1173-1265 A.D). The place was also visited by the great old traveler and historian Ibn Batuta in 1334 A.D and was the scene of two of Khizr Khan's victories over generals of Delhi in 1401 and 1405 A.D. Even today, the thought that Taimur during his invasion spared the lives of those who had not fled the place, out of respect for the shrine of saint Baba Farid, inspires reverence.
It is said that the city was destroyed seventeen times in history by great warriors. After the destruction a new city was built on the ruins of the old city, because of this, a big mound was made up. From a very early date, it was a place of importance, as the principal ferry across the Sutlej River and as the meeting-place of the great western roads from Dera Ghazi Khan and Dera Ismail Khan. The city was on the way to Multan State and Delhi Empire. All warriors traveling from Multan to Delhi or Delhi to Multan were crossing this city. This city was important in the line of defense at all times. A road called "Delhi Multan Road" road was constructed by Sher Shah Suri. The landmarks of Delhi Multan Road are still in use by Punjab Road Transportation Department. Anybody can read the mileage of Delhi and Multan at any time in all over the area, only present in modern times in this area.
It is said that near Pakpattan, Malka Hans is situated where Waris Shah the renowned Punjabi philosopher and poet, wrote his famous book of "Heer Waris Shah". The thought that so many people including Waris Shah, Ibn-e-Batuta, and Guru Nanik Dev Jee had visited the shrine evokes awe and aura of eternity. Wandering about in the older part of town near the relics of Kacha Burj - a defensive tower that was erected by Haibat Khan during the rule of Sher Shah Suri, you can think about the strategic importance of this town in the bygone era. But, during the Mughal time when danger from the North reduced, the town lost its defensive significance.
The Great Saint Baba Farid-ud-Din Ganj Shakar
When Punjab fell into the hands of British rulers, due to its historical importance and value, British gave Pakpattan a prime significance. Pakpattan was made a District Headquarter and the only district between Lahore and Multan. Two big and gigantic water canals Khadar Canal and Pakpattan Canal were dug and constructed on the left and right sides of the city. These two canals are hundreds of miles long. A Colony Officer and a Colony Magistrate were posted in the area. All the disputes and land revenues cases of the irrigating areas were brought before the Colony Officers and Magistrate courts. A big and grand train station was built in the city to connect all the irrigating areas that were far away such as Bahawalpur, Mailsi, and Khanewal state.
