Meher Ali Shah
Pir Meher Ali Shah (Punjabi: پیر مہر علی شاہ, pronounced [piɾ mɛɦəɾ əli ʃaːɦ]; 14 April 1859 – May 1937) was a Punjabi Muslim Sufi scholar and mystic poet from Punjab, British India (present-day Pakistan). Belonging to the Chishti order, he is known as a Hanafi scholar who led the anti-Ahmadiyya movement. He composed poetry in Punjabi, and wrote several books in both Urdu and Persian, most notably Saif-e-Chishtiyai ("The Sword of the Chishti Order"), a polemical work criticizing the Ahmadiyya movement of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Shah was a descendant, from his father Nazar Din Shah's side, of Abdul Qadir Jilani in the 25th generation, and of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through Hassan ibn Ali in the 38th generation.
