How to Kashmir: The InternetAvraad-e-Fatiha (Hazratbal)This prayer has been recited every morning in Kashmir for over 500 years. Yes, every single morning and in almost all mosques of Kashmir. This prayer was constituted by Mir Syed Ali Hamdani, a Persian Muslim preacher who came to Kashmir in the 14th century. As hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris embraced Islam, he devised this prayer which was performed after every dawn prayer in mosques. Many historians suggest that it was to fulfil the spiritual need as well as a means for local Muslims to remember and recite Quranic prayers.
