Jahaniyan Jahangasht

مخدوم جهانيان جهانكشت

–

Mir Sayyid Jalaluddin Husayn al-Naqvi al-Bukhari (707–785 AH / 1308–1384 CE), known as Makhdum-i Jahaniyan Jahangasht, a Suhrawardi shaykh of Uch in the Punjab, grandson of Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari and his successor at the head of the order's Uch line. His laqab Jahangasht ('world-traveller') came from his ceaseless journeys — he is said to have performed the Hajj thirty-six times; Muhammad ibn Tughluq appointed him Shaykh al-Islam with forty khanqahs in Siwastan, and he influenced the religious policies of Firuz Shah Tughluq.
