Biography

Qutb Shah (Template:Lang-fa)Qutb Shah Awn ibn Ya‘lā, was a great sufi, well known by the name of Qutb Shah came to the South Asia in the fifth century A.H. (about the eleventh century according to western era) by order of Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani. Moreover, he was an uncle of Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani and one of his spiritual successors. Born in 1028 in Baghdad. Qutb Shah Qadiri was an appointed Qutb (spiritual pole) by Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani for this South Asia. Due to his great efforts many of the Hindu tribes converted to the Islam. After the incident of Karbala, the household of Muhammad had to migrate to other lands. Many of his descendants who lived in Egypt and nearby lands departed for Turkistan and Iran due to persecution at the hands of Hujjaj bin Yusuf. As time went by, they resettled in places such as Bukhara and Hamadan in Turkistan, and Baghdad in Iraq. Some migrated to Khurasan and others to Herat in the mountainous regions of present day Afghanistan. The descendants of Qutb Shah Awn ibn Ya‘lā settled in South Asia..He is considered the Paternal ancestor of Sultan Quli Qutb Mulk of Qutbshahi Dynasty.

Tribal history holds that Qutb Shah and his sons married local women who converted to Islam from Hinduism and Zoroastrianism. Qutb Shah's sons are said to have settled in different regions of the Punjab, and to a lesser extent, what now constitutes parts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; Gauhar Shah or Gorrara, settled near Sakesar, Kalan Shah or Kalgan, settled in Kalabagh, Chauhan colonized the hills close to the Jehlum, Mohammad Shah or Khokhar, settled by the Chenab/Kahar, and Tori ‏and Jhajh settled in Padhrar. All these regions collectively less Kalabagh and Sakesar are referred to as "Wanhar" today.

The Awan (tribe) of Pakistan are found to be the descendants of Qutb Shah. Muslim Khokhars also claim lineage from him.
