Ibadat Khana E Hussaini, popular as Ibadat Khana, has been the quintessence and hub of almost all Ishna Ashari Shias’ religious activities. It is the first  Shia Mosque to be built in Hyderabad during the Nizam era in 1883. Ever since it came into existence about 150 years ago, it got the status as a center or Markaz of the community. Despite various other mosques and centers coming up, the Ibadat Khana still maintains its position.

Ibadat Khana E Hussaini came into existence when no building could be built or purchased to construct a Shia Ishna Ashari Masjid. It is said that Moulana Hussaini Mian Qibla (R.A.) bought a small house on the road from Darulshifa to Balsetty Khaith in 1301 Hijri (1883), where Marhoom started Namaz and Majalis.

He passed on the mantle to his student Moulana Mir Kazim Ali Zaidi (R.A.), who served Ibadat Khana E Hussaini for a long time. Due to failing health and eyesight problems, he passed on the responsibility to his son Dr. Mir Ahmed Ali Zaidi and his brother in law (wife’s brother) Moulvi Syed Abbas Hussain and his pious student Moulana Mirza Bahadur Ali Sahab (R.A.), who had just turned 18.
