It appears to be the site of the earliest Muslim settlement in Sonargaon and the centre of Islamic learning during the last quarter of the thirteenth century. Mograpada formed a suburb of the Hindu capital city of Sonargaon and the site of the later Muslim metropolis.

The remains at Mograpara include the Dargahbari complex with the Dargah building, Madrasa building, fath Shah's Mosque (1484), Nahbat Khana, grave of sharfuddin abu tawwamah (d. 1300), and the tombs of Shah Ibrahim Danishmand, Shah Kamal, Shaykh Muhammad Yusuf and Munna Shah Darwesh.
