    Mir Masoom Shah Jo Minaro (Mir Masoom Shah’s minaret), which is famous. This minaret was completed in AD 1617.by Syed Nizamudin Shah, commonly known as Mir Masoom Shah. He was the governor of Sukkur during Mughal emperor Akbar’s era. This minaret is erected at the top of a hill. It has four storeys. Each storey of the minaret has one arch type of ventilation slot. It is decorated with floral work and poetry of Mir Masoom Shah on main entrances. There is also a shrine called Faiz Mahal or ‘aramgah’. The shrine is octagonal and has four arched entrances and four arch-type blind covered arches. Near the minaret there is Mir Masoom Shah’s shrine and his family’s graves. Around the minaret, there are several graves of Mir Masoom Shah’s ancestors. The pavilions are exquisitely decorated with Quranic verses and Persian inscriptions. The material used consists of red sandstone, red bricks, marble and glazed tiles. From the top of the minaret, one can have a bird’s-eye view of Sukkur city and the Indus. This minaret is under Sindh’s Auqaf Department, and needs to be preserved for our future generations.

    The minaret of Syed Nizam-ud-Din Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah is the most conspicuous structure of Sukkur, dating back to 1607 during the Mughal Empire in the Indian subcontinent. Masoom Shah was the governor of Mughal Emperor Akbar who appointed him as the Nawab of Sukkur. The minaret was built in about 1607 the monument, built of red brick, is more or less conical in shape, slightly off the perpendicular and surmounted by a dome to which an internal stone staircase gives an access. It is about 26 metres in circumference and has 84 steps to the top. It is about 31 metres feet in height and can be seen from miles away. This minaret is believed to have been used as a watch tower.

    Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah Bakhri also known as Syed Nizamuddin Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah was a sixteenth-century Sindhi Muslim historian, physician  and pharmacist, He is known for writing a history of Sindh, Tarikh i Sind (also known as, Tarikh i Masumi, after the author), published in ca 1600. He was also a trusted lieutenant of the Mughal emperor Akbar. In around 1595 he led Akbar's army in a battle against the Panni Afghans stronghold of Sibi in northwest Quetta, resulting in Baluchistan being annexed into the Mughal empire. Subsequently, in 1598, he was appointed the governor of Sind and Sibi by Akbar. The minaret of Ali Abuzar is the most conspicuous structure of Sukkur town, dating back to 1607 during the Mughal Empire in the Indian subcontinent. Masum Shah was the governor of Mughal Emperor Akbar who appointed him as the Nawab of Sukkur. The minaret was built in about 1607 the monument, built of red brick, is more or less conical in shape, slightly off the perpendicular and surmounted by a dome to which an internal stone staircase gives an access. It is about 26 metres in circumference and has 84 steps to the top. It is about 31 metres feet in height and can be seen from miles away. This minaret is believed to have been used as a watch tower. The courtyard around the minaret is the cemetery where Mir Mausum Shah and his family members are buried. Family and offspring of Nizam-ud-Din Mir Muhammad Masum Shah still lives in old sukkur where he lived during his ruling time. The minaret and its surroundings are still under power of Masumi Family even though Government of Pakistan has taken the management control of this historical site Source: Wikipedia

    This architecture was built in the year 1607. Masoom Shah was one of the governors of Mughal Emperor Akbar who appointed him as the Nawab of Sukkur. This minaret & its surroundings are still under power of Masumi Family even though Government of Pakistan has taken the management control.

    The most outstanding monument built at Sukkur during the Mughal period is the high minaret of Mir Masum. This is built of burnt bricks, Mir Masum Minaret is about one hundred feet high and eighty four in circumference at the base. It is surmounted by a dome to which access is provided by an internal staircase.
