Mahar Sharif is a village in Chistian tehsil of Bawahalnagar, Punjab, Pakistan. It is the seat of a well-known family of Sufis of the Chishtiyya Order, and also has some shrines of the elder sages of this line. Most famous of these is the shrine of Hazrat Shaykh Qibla - Alam Noor Muhammad Maharvi (RA).
There are also a haveli and a 'dera' (private guest room/salon) in this place. The haveli was built by Hazrat Khawaja Mahmood Buksh Maharvi in 1940 and the older 'dera' was built probably in 1890s or 1900 by Hazrat Khawaja Noor Jehania Maharvi. Both were former 'sajadanasheens' (descendants) of Hazrat Shaykh Qibla-i- Alam (R.A). Now this place is under the custody of Sahibzada Ghulam Mahmood Maharvi and the sons of Sahibzada Ghulam Masood (Sahibzada Muhammad Amin Mahmood and Sahibzada Muhammad Moeenuddin Mahmood Maharvi) . The buildings still retain some of their former look and have some fine work to be seen, inside and out.
