The temple houses an important relic Moi-e-Muqaddas sacred hair of Prophet Muhammad. It took approximately 11 years to complete the Mosque and it is the only domed Mosque in Srinagar. It offers such an enchanting vista of lake and mountains that has made it so serene. Even the entrance makes you agape with the view of Nishat Mughal Garden. Hazratbal is an epitome of love and respect for Prophet Muhammad by Muslims. The sacred hair was brought to India by Syed Abdullah in 1635. He was a descendent of Prophet Muhammad. The hair was inherited by Syed Abdullah's son Syed Hamid after his death. As the Mughal conquered they stripped Syed of his family estates.

Aurangzeb confiscated the relic and sent it to Shrine of Khwaja Moin-ud-Din Chishti in Ajmer and imprisoned the businessman.
