tomb of Bibi Jawindi

Uch, Pakistan

The tomb of Bibi Jawindi (Urdu) is one of the five monuments in Uch Sharif, Punjab, Pakistan, that are on the tentative list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Dating back to the 15th century, the shrine was built in the spirit of the historical Sufi premier Bibi Jawindi of the Suhrawardiyyah order, a strictly hegemonistic Sunni school of theosophical thought which puts particular emphasis on the Shafi’i school of classical jurisprudence in the context of its interpretation of the Sharia. Bibi Jawindi was great-granddaughter to Jahaniyan Jahangasht, a famous Sufi saint in his own right.
