Qutb Shah
Sayyed Qutb Shah ibn Ya‘lā, al-Gilani, al Qadiri, was a medieval Persian Sufi, Muslim Preacher, religious scholar. He was a Sayyid and a relative of Hazrat Shaykh Abdul-Qadir Gilani.[1]
He preached Islam to many people in the areas of modern Afghanistan and Northern and North-Western Pakistan circa 1090 AD and 1099 AD, and many tribes accepted Islam at this time.[2] He is supposed to have returned to Herat (then Khorasan), after his preachings and died there. He is not to be confused with another, semi-legendary 'Qutab Shah' who was supposedly the primary ancestor of the Awans in present-day Pakistan. [3]
