The Mahim Dargah or Mosque was built by Sultan Ahmed Shah of Gujarat in 1431 at the burial site of Makhtum Fakir Ali Paru, a Sufi saint who was the Qazi of Mahim. Also known as Makhdoom Ali Mahimi, he was born in an Arab family which settled in Mahim. The Sufi saint and his shrine is revered by both Hindus and Muslims. There is a 10 day Urs festival in December which draws a large number of pilgrims. Interestingly the Makhdoom Ali Mahimi is also the patron saint of the Mumbai Police.
