Hussaini migrated from Damascus, Syria to Berar Province now in Maharashtra, India, and then to Hyderabad at the age of 18. He claimed to be a descendant of the Islamic prophet Mohammed.[citation needed]
He laid the foundation and constructed Masjid-e-Baghdadi also known as Tek-ki-Masjid, which is attached to his shrine in Nampally, Hyderabad, Telangana.[1]
The annual Urs is organised on 4th Jumada al-thani of the Islamic calendar.[2][3]
