The '''Shrine of [[Abraham in Islam|Ibrahim]]''', known locally as '''Lal Shahbaz Dargah''', was built around 1160 in [[Bhadresar]] in [[Kutch district]], [[Gujarat]], India. It is one of the earliers extant Islamic monuments in India. The shrine is mistakenly attributed to [[Lal Shahbaz Qalandar]], [[Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar|whose shrine]] is instead located in [[Pakistan]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Shokoohy|first1=Mehrdad|title=Bhadreśvar: The Oldest Islamic Monuments in India|date=1988|publisher=BRILL|isbn=9789004083417|page=14|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NmZzDUYNb0AC}}</ref>

==Shrine==
The shrine, in a small walled enclosure, has a square pyramid shaped dome, round in the inside and supported on eight pillars set against the wall. The roof of the porch is flat is divided in 9×3 small squares, each with lotus flowers inside. Round the architrave, above the vine-ornamented wall-head course, there is a deep line of Arab inscription in large square [[Kufic]] characters, and on the right-end of the wall there are two lines of inscription. In the court some graves also have Kufic inscriptions. These [[epigraphy|epigraph]] constructed in 1160 marked the first use of Kufic script in India. According to an inscription in the monument, it is a shrine to [[Abraham in Islam|Ibrahim]].<ref name="toi2012">{{cite web|title=Epigraphs from Sultanate period in Guj show integration of faiths|work=The Times of India|date=24 February 2012|url=http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOIA/2012/02/24&PageLabel=5&EntityId=Ar00500&ViewMode=HTML|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141214142051/http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOIA/2012/02/24&PageLabel=5&EntityId=Ar00500&ViewMode=HTML|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 14, 2014|accessdate=14 December 2014|first=Parth|last=Shastri}}</ref><ref name="gb">{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Palanpur, and Mahi Kantha (Public Domain text)|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dLUBAAAAYAAJ|year=1880|publisher=Printed at the Government Central Press|pages=215}}</ref><ref name="Burgess1876">{{cite book|author=James Burgess|author-link=James Burgess (archaeologist)|title=Report on the Antiquities of Kutch & Kathiawar: Being the Result of the Second Season's Operations of the Archaeological Survey of Western India, 1874-1875|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u0D9MgEACAAJ|accessdate=27 August 2016|year=1876|publisher=India Museum|location=London|pages=205–210}} [http://www.dli.ernet.in/handle/2015/106940 Alt URL]</ref>
