Sayyid Shah Abdul Latif Kazmi, known as Bari Imam (1617-1705), was a 17th-century Sufi of the Qadiriyya order, venerated as the patron saint of Islamabad. After twenty-four years as an ascetic in the Hazara forests, he settled in Nurpur Shahan and transformed the region through his teaching of love and peace. His shrine at Nurpur Shahan, originally built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, is one of the largest sites of pilgrimage in Pakistan.
