History

Sayyed Abul Farah Wasti, a descendant of Zaid bin Ali, who came to India from Wasit, Iraq. In the eleventh century his son Sayyed Dawood settled in Kundli, a village in the Punjab region. His descendant Sayyed Aiwaz and his sons migrated to Mujhera at the invitation of their clansmen, who were already residing in a nearby village, Sambalhera, circa the fourteenth century. An inscribed epitaph of a tomb in Sambalhera village proves Sadaat-e-bahera's presence in Sambalhera in the year 777 AH. The Kundliwal branch of this clan flourished in Mujhera village and gained prominence in Akbar jahangir and Shahjahan's time. Sayyed Mahmud khan Kundliwal, his brothers, sons, and grandsons were all Mansabdar (Military officers)in Mogul court. Tombs of Mahmud khan, Sayyid Ahmad Barha, Sayyid Jhajju Barha are situated in this village, alongside a Bawli.
