History of Uch Sharif
It was settled around 550 BC. Alexander the Great stayed here during his invasion of India. At the time of Muhammad bin Qasim’s conquest of Sindh, this city was politically, economically and culturally unique. Before the invasion of Mahmud Ghaznavi, Uchh was a province of Sindh and was ruled by Hindus.
From the time of Mahmud Ghaznavi, Islamic sciences came here. Maulana Safi-ud-Din Gazroni came in 1908. Here he founded an Islamic seminary, in which two and a half thousand students were studying at the same time. Sultan Shahabuddin Ghauri was the first coach of this institution.
