The opening as it read in 2015
Madin Sahib (Madeen Sahab or Madin Saeb Kashmiri مدین صاْب) is an old mosque located near Nowshohar, Srinagar , in Indian administered Kashmir . The other neighborhoods close to it would be Bagh-e-Ali Mardan Khan and Saz Ghar Poor. Madin Sahib Masjid was built by Sultan Zain-ul-Abideen (Budshah) in 1448. He named it after his teacher Syed Mohammad Madani, who is also buried to the left of the Masjid. He was sent to Kashmir as Timur's envoy to Sultan Sikander. Madin Sahib liked Kashmir so much that he decided to stay. He initially stayed in Rainawari after becoming a disciple of Syed Mohammad Hamadani. He later on moved close to Badshah's Capital Nowshahar, where Budshah built him the Khankhah. The tile work at Madin Saeb is considered one of the unique examples of this art and it is not seen anywhere else in Kashmir or Indian sub-continent for that matter.1
