Hazrat Maulana Sheikh Jamali Kamboh Shaikh Sama'al-Din Kamboh—also known as Hazrat Shaikh Alamsayakh Makhdoom Jama'al-Din Kamboh—was born in 1405 AD in Multan, Punjab (present-day Pakistan). He was a revered Sufi saint of the Suhrawardi order and migrated to Delhi during the reign of Sultan Bahlol Lodi (died 1488 AD). He became the spiritual patron of the Lodi dynasty. His father, Maulana Shaikh Fakhrudin, was a highly respected religious leader of that era. Makhdoom Shaikh Jama'al-Din served as the royal spiritual advisor (Pir) to both Sultan Bahlol Lodi and later Sultan Sikandar Lodi, earning immense respect from spiritual and religious leaders of his time. He was considered one of the greatest Ulema and Sufi Shaikhs of his era. His shrine (mazar) is located in Delhi, where the Zubairies of Panipat used to gather every year before India’s independence to offer Fateha (prayers). Apart from his spiritual practices, Shaikh Sama'al-Din was a distinguished scholar of traditional Islamic sciences and worked as a professional teacher. Among his most famous students was Shaikh Jamali Kamboh, who later gained great prominence.
