== History ==
Peer Syed Haji Ali Shah Bukhari was a wealthy merchant. Haji Ali Shah came from [[Samarqand]] with [[Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani]]. He was a disciple of [[Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani|Ali Hamadani]], At some point during the [[Delhi Sultanate]] rule over the island of [[Worli]], Peer Sayyed Haji Ali came to settle there. Many legends point out that during his journey to Mecca, he fell ill and died, and on his request, his followers cast his body into the sea. Earlier in his life, the Peer has helped a poor woman recover some oil by jabbing a finger into the earth. This act later filled him with remorse, so much that he did not want to injure the earth more. The casket carrying his coffin floated back to the shores near Worli. Today, a humble yet eye-catching tomb stands at this spot amongst the rocks, some 500 meters into the sea. The saint gave up all his wealth and material possessions to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. Then, after traveling around the world, he settled in one of the islands that today make up the city of [[Mumbai]] and dedicated his life to spread Islam in the area.
