Eminabad, an ancient town in the Gujranwala district of Pakistan, used to be known as Sayyidpur or Saidpur during the time of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji. According to the Bhai Bala Janam Sakhi, after leaving Sultanpur and before setting out on his long travels, Guru Nanak, accompanied by Bhai Mardana, first visited Eminabad where Bhai Lalo, a carpenter by profession, became his Sikh. The Gurbani of Guru Nanak in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji suggests that he was in Eminabad when the town was sacked by Babar in 1521. Janam Sakhis also mention that during the attack by the Mughal force the Guru was held in prison and given a stonemill to ply. Eminabad came under Sikh rule when Sardar Charhat Singh Sukkarchakkia occupied it during the 1760's. Charat Singh was the grandfather of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
