The geographical area of Sargodha is the home of the Bugvi Family who are the caretakers of the Sher Shah Jamia Masjid Bugvia in Bhera. Bhera is a historic city with a walled structure having eight gates on the pattern of Walled City Lahore. The city is rich in history, tradition and customs which has seen the passage of time and rulers leaving its impact on its structure and population.

The village of Bugga Sharif in present day district Jhelum is the hometown of the Bugvi family. The spiritual journey of preaching and propagation of Islam in Central Punjab, Indian Subcontinent started from this small and obscure village. The Bugvi family entrusted their small children towards the study and learning of Islamic principles. These young individuals travelled to Madrassah’s in Delhi, Lahore and other localities gaining knowledge and information to benefit the population in their hometowns.

With association and guidance of prominent teachers and scholars they rose to become Imam and leaders of Muslim centers in Lahore, Bhera and Bugga Sharif. The family developed the mosques and Islamic learning centers in these areas. They not only propagated the teachings of Islam but also removed malpractices and misconceptions associated with Islamic principles at the time of British rule under influence of other religions and cultures.
