I was always fascinated by the fact that whenever my family used to sit together (and faqir khana being the topic of discussion ultimately!) Our elders could easily trace out our roots back to generations and generations...As a child i couldn't help but get amused by the fact that we had so much in our possession, pieces that were hundreds of years old, pieces that had stories to tell!Even now people do know what “faqir khana “ is but still they can hardly imagine how big this private collection is i.e. “ THE LARGEST PRIVATE ANTIQUES COLLECTION IN SOUTH ASIA “ And what sort of relics we have in our possession, especially the relics of the Holy prophet (p.b.u.h) & Original pieces of hand written manuscripts of Quran Even the famous badshahi mosque carries relics given on loan by Faqir Sayyed Noor Uddin Bukhari ( a minister in maharja rangit singh's court ) in the year 1849. The lahore museum also has an entire hall dedicated to the aniquties donated by my great grand father “ Faqir Sayyed Jalal uddin” My aim is to create awareness regarding our roots, our past, our history, because only then we can understand the meaning of our present which will build the future of generations to come. Thus, here i am, with the an effort to put all the information in black and white, which uptill now was just in the minds of our elders, because i want everyone to relish the beauty we have at Faqir khana museum and know the generations from whose hands its been passing through! join in for www.faqirkhana.com Experience...................
