Abstract

The region of Kashmir is known as paradise on earth by virtue of its picturesque beauty, unique geographical location, civilization, culture and people. Since the establishment of Muslim rule in Kashmir, a large number of preachers of Islam entered Kashmir from Central Asia, who played a key role in the reformation of the social structure along with religious propagation. The main objective of this study is to digout the historical role of Sanits, Sufis and Ulmas in spreading Islam during Shah Miri rule. Islam began to spread rapidly in Kashmir with the establishment of Shah Mir's rule in 1339, but this religion had mainly entered the region in the 8th century. The main credit for the spread of Islam goes to the Saints, Ulmas and Sufis during the reign of Shah Meri dynasty. In this paper, a historical and descriptive analysis of the subject has been described.
