==Yousuf==
The burial place of '''Yousufuddin''' and '''Sharifuddin''' (better known as Yousufain or Shareefain) and their surrounding Sufi [[Khanqah]] is known as Yousufain Dargah or 'Yousufbaba-ki-dargah' in [[Hyderabad]].

==Burial ground==
The burial ground has tombs of notable people in Hyderabad. [[Daagh Dehlvi]] - the popular [[Urdu]] [[poet]] and court musician of the 6th [[Nizam]] [[Mahbub Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VI]], was also buried here.

==Early life and Bayat==
Both spiritual leaders were originally from Shaam (present-day [[Syria]]). While performing the holy [[Hajj]], they met Sheikh-E-Azam [[Shah Kalim Allah Jahanabadi]] in Makkah(Makkah Al Mukarramah). Sheikh Kaleemullah Jahanabadi was a disciple of renowned Al-Qutub Sheikh Yahya Madani hailing from [[Medina]].

Yousufain Sharifian accepted Bayat (solemn vow of discipleship and covenant faith) of Sheikh Kaleem-ullah Jahanabadi. Yousufain Sharifain followed their spiritual master to Delhi instead of returning home to Syria.

===Teachings of Sheikh===
Sheik Kaleemullah Jahanabadi was a [[Sufism|Sufi]] saint and all his life he spread teachings of Islam and silsila chist. His fame is equally spread among the followers of all religions in [[Delhi]] and extends to Deccan region. The blessed Sheikh always said make my soul happy by spreading a teachings of silsila chishtia, rather than giving treasure to his family. His teachings were equally popular in civil society as well as armed forces (lashkar). Most of his mureeds(disciples) and Khalifa's(successors) were in army, including Yousufain Sharifain. During the Deccan conquest by Moghals, their hidden identity was revealed to the Moghal King Aurangzeb. After they conquered Deccan they left armed forces and decided to stay in Hyderabad to propagate teaching of Islam. When they died, they were buried in a village called Nampally, which is now in the core area of the city of Hyderabad.

==Awards==
The dargah was recognized as a [[World Heritage Site|heritage site]] by [[Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage|INTACH]] in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/19/stories/2008041958900200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080423002702/http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/19/stories/2008041958900200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2008-04-23 |title=Andhra Pradesh / Hyderabad News : INTACH-2008 award for Yousufain Dargah |date=2008-04-19 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2013-10-25}}</ref>
