You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.206.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Goripalayam Mosque''' is a large mosque in Goripalayam (part of [[Madurai]] City) containing two graves (tombs) of Sultans of [[Oman|Yemen]] namely Khaja Syed Sultan Alauddin Badusha Razi and Khaja Syed Sulthan Shamsuddin of the [[Madurai Sultanate]]. There is also one invisible grave of Khaja Syed Sultan Habibuddin Razi who is also known as Ghaibi Sulthan<ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ta6AD7MNFioC|title=Tourist Guide to South India|date=2003-01-01|publisher=Sura Books|isbn=9788174781758|language=en))</ref> who came to India to spread [[Islam]]. Its dome is ((convert|70|ft)) in diameter and ((convert|20|ft)) in height and made of a single block of stone which was brought from the Azhaga Hills. It is said that it was built by [[Thirumalai Nayak]] for his Muslim subjects.

==Origin==
The name Gorippalayam comes from the [[Persian language|Persian]] word ''gor'' which means ''grave''. This area is called as Goripalayam because the graves of the two famous saints of [[Islam]] and rulers of Madurai Sulthan Alauddin Badusha (Radiyallah) and Sulthan Shamsuddin Badhusha (Radiyallah) are here. A beautiful green tomb can be seen from the A.V. Bridge, which is the Gorippalayam Dargah located in the northern banks of [[Vaigai River]].

People from all over [[Tamil Nadu]] come here to seek blessings and go back fruitfully. The two rulers were brothers who ruled the northern part of Madurai after coming from [[Oman]] during the 13th century to spread [[Islam]] after hearing about the travel of Qutb Sulthan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed Badusha of [[Erwadi]] and his victory in south India followed by the established Islamic rule in Madurai and Ramanathapuram provinces. [[Qadi|Kazi]] Syed Tajuddin Radiyallah, the founder of [[Kazimar Big Mosque]] and who lived in [[Kazimar Street]] was government Kazi (Islamic legal advisor and jury) to the Sultans. The descendants of Kazi Syed Tajuddin are still living in Kazimar Street and the Kazimar Big mosque is being maintained by them. From the time of Sultans the Kazis to Madurai city are appointed from the descendants of Kazi Syed Tajuddin and this tradition was followed by the [[Pandiyan Dynasty|Pandiya Rulers]], the [[Nayak dynasty|Nayak rulers]], the [[Nawab of the Carnatic|Nawab rulers]] and the [[British Raj|British rulers]]. Even today the post independent democratic state government of Tamil Nadu appoints Kazi to Madurai only from the descendants of Kazi Syed Tajuddin who was the Kazi to the Madurai Sultans. An ancient [[Tamil language|Tamil]] [[inscription]] can be found planted on the outer campus of the [[Maqbara]] of the dargah campus:<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.maduraitravelclub.com/pilgrimage4.php|title=Travel 2 Madurai|website=www.maduraitravelclub.com|access-date=2016-05-08))</ref>

==Inscription==
[[File:Goripalaym plaque.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Verdict of Nayak ruler Veerappa Nayakkar regarding a dispute with the dargah land in an inscription mounted in the dargah]]
<blockquote>The descendants of Sulthan Alauddin Badusha, and Sulthan Shamsuddin Badusha (called as Sultans of [[Oman]]) purchased from the then King Koo(n) Pandiyan the land of Gorippalayam Dargah for a Feet of Gold piece and other six villages (namely Bibi Kulam, Chokkikulam, Cholikudi, Chirudoor, Kannanendal, [[Thiruppalai]]) at the rate of 14,000 [[Gold]] pieces for the maintenance of Gorippalayam Dargah. During the reign of King Veerappa [[nayakkar]] of the [[Madurai Nayak dynasty|Madurai Nayak rulers]], a dispute arose between the Huqdars of the Durgah and the employees of the Nayakkar Government regarding the six villages. The case was taken to King Veerappa Nayakkar, who inquired and verified the documents written by King Koo(n) Pandiyan and gave his verdict in the year 1573 A.D. as the Six villages and the Dargah land belongs to the Descendants of Sultans and it should be in their enjoyment till the existence of Sun and Moon and who violates this will be liable for the sin of slaughtering a cow in the bank of river [[Ganges|Ganga]].</blockquote>

This inscription is considered a piece of evidences to prove the existence of the Dargah since 13th century.

==Anniversary Urus Festival==
The anniversary Urus festival of this dargah is held on 15th night of the Islamic month of [[Rabi al-awwal]] on every [[Islamic calendar|hijri]] year.
