Anjuman Imamia (Regd) was established in Ambala City of India in 1935. When after the existence if Pakistan in 1947, Saadat families migrated from Ambala to different parts of Pakistan, most of the Kazmi Saadat who belonged to Qazi Wara and Khilbat Wara settled in Gujranwala. A Gurdawara situated in Gobind Garh at College Road Gujranwala was handed over to Ambala Saadat which was transformed into Imam Bargah when Anjuman-e-Imamia mounted SHABEEH-E-ALAM HAZRAT ABBAS ALAMDAR A.S. on the top of its tomb. The Name of Imam Bargah was declared to be
Imam Bargah Gulsitan-e-Maarfat, exactly the same as was the name of Imam Bargah in
Qazi Wara, Ambala City. The Matters of Azadari are dealt by Anjuman Imamia Asna
Ashri Gujranwala. Every Year, Majalis of Moharram-ul-Haram are organized from 1st
