In, south-west of Soon Valley historical town of Amb situated. This town has important value in history. For long time there was no fixed pavement constructed to reach this town. However the area is rich in springs which make the town populated. The town of Amb surrounded by tall mountains on all four sides. The highest peak of region Sakesar easily visible from here. The red barren mountains of area have very less greenery but full of splendid and natural views. If we go little above on road from the town of Amb, you will found remains of historical city and Ancient Hindu Temple.

The topic of discussion here is about respected Saint of Amb, ‘Hazarat Ibrahim Sarahi Wala’ and his magnificent tomb. Hazarat Ibrahim Sarahi Wala always used to be in green dress, because of this wearring  he was famous among Hindu population of Amb by the name of  ‘Sarhi Wala Saint’.

It is said that, he was contemporaneous of Hazrat Sultan Bahu. Many miraculous things associated with him, it said that once a villager came to him and asked for permission for visiting Pakpattan, so he could pass through the door of Heaven present at famous Shrine of Baba Fareed. However, Saint refused to grant permission and asked villager to offer five time prayers in Mosque constructed by ‘Sarahi Wala’.

Once locals came to ‘Sarhi Wala Saint’ and told him about the shortage of water in springs. He took his bow and he shooted two arrows from it; it is said that where those two arrows fallen two springs started from ground. One spring was given to Hindu community and other to Muslims. The ‘Sarhi Wala Saint’ said at that time, when Hindu community of area will shift from this town this spring will stop. Locals told that after creation of Pakistan all Hindu community left the area and migrated to India, after this that spring  dried up and never filled with water again.

The tomb of ‘Sarahi Wala Saint’ is recently renovated the interior walls are decorated with pieces of glass. The glass work is so magnificently done that you will find such craftsmanship very less anywhere else.

One more interesting thing about historical town of Amb is that people are very welcoming, in Amb there is no house constructed without guestroom.
