Long time back, I had heard in one of the waez that Imam Sultan Mohamed Shah had made contributions for rebuilding of ancient site in Dwarka. If any one knows the details of it then kindly post it.

Munir,

You heard right, I also heard in one waez of Rai saheb, but this information you wont find in any book.
Once Mowlana Sulatan Mohammad Shah was in city name 'Dwarka" , Dwarka is religious and very famous city for Hindu pilgrimages because Lord Krishna lived over there many years and he also died over there, so Hindu built a Krishna temple over there in remembrance of Krishna, there are many other Hindu temples in Dwarka and nearby areas too like "Somnath Temple" also very famous which was destroyed by Mahmood Ghazanavi 6 times, MSM asked to visit one famous temple of Krishna during this visit, when Mowla reached over there he show bad condition of that temple that temple needed to repair work badly but they didn't have enough money to repair it, so mowla made some contribution to repair that temple.

I am not pretty sure whether that temple was Somnath temple or any other temple because Somnath temple is also very closeby to Dwarka where lord Krishna was killed.

Thanks a lot for information.
As for Somnath temple, it is located in Veraval. Somnath temple is not a Krishna temple. It is Shiva temple, where there is jyotir ling. Somnath means "Lord of Moon". I have seen Somnath temple and it is one of the most beautiful temple I have ever seen.

As for Dwarka temple, do you know the year when Imam visited it or any other details in this regard? Btw thanks for the reply.

Kmaherali, the link you have posted is not working.

Mr. Star_Munir,

It is a totally new story for me, I never heard this before that Mowla SMS also donated money for renovation of a Hindu temple!!!

Do you or Mr. Agakhani have any another story like this?; i.e. donation made to other religions from our mowla?
