[4] One of the oldest inhabited sites in the district of Aligarh, Jalali has been a perfect example of communal harmony for decades.

They are descendants of Shah-e-Hamdan Ameer Kabir Sayyed Ali Hamdani, a great Islamic Scholar and well-known Sufi saint.

Though Syed was the most influential and powerful community in Jalali, they maintained religious and social harmony with other residents, benefiting from their education and rich culture.

His father, Sayyed Zille Hussain Fiza, composed a well-known marsiya, "Andaleebe gule gulzaar risalat hun mein".

Sayyid Zille Hussain "Fiza" also edited the famous salam composed by Haidry: "Hai salaam us per jo baikas be padar be yaar tha" which is recited in Jalali on 08 Moharram.Another Marsiya composed by Syed Zille Hussain was "Hinda ne Jab ke Khwab Sunaya Yazeed ko".

In addition, women and children gather on the terrace of the imambargah and the mosque in large numbers on 9th of Muharram and on the occasion of Chehlum.

Another famous Imambargah of Jalali is in mohalla 'Garhi', called Bara Imambara where a huge Alam of about 30 metres is hoisted on the morning of Ashura.

The photograph of the mosque and its brief history along with the inscriptions of Sultan Balban, Mohammad Shah and Jalaluddin Akbar was published in the Archaeological Survey of India, 1936.

An account of the contributions of Haji Mehdi Ali is engraved in Persian on the marble stone which forms part of the middle arch of the mosque.
