Baba Shadi Shaheed

Baba Shadi Shaheed

Baba Shadi Shaheed (real name Shadab Khan) was a Sufi Saint. He is thought to be the first Chib Rajput convert to Islam during the reign of Ibrahim Lodhi. He was a famed wise man who was requested to treat the ailing emperor in Delhi. This ultimately resulted in his death as he was ordered to marry the emperor's daughter but refused to stay in Delhi. His tribe, the Chib Rajputs of Kashmir and Punjab come to his shrine in Jandi Chontra in Bhimber to pay their respects and ritualistically celebrate the births of their children. In the last few decades, the popularity of the shrine has grown among non-tribe members due to the belief that visiting the shrine will help childless couples to bear children.
