Shah Jewna, also known as Pir Shah Jewna Mahboob Alam Naqvi Al-Bukhari was a 15th century saint and a Naqvi Sayyid. Born in Kannauj in 895 A.H. (1493 A.D.), he was a direct descendant of Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari, Jewna’s father Sayyed Sadruddin Shah Kabir Naqvi Al Bukhari was the chief advisor of King Sikandar Lodi.[1]
After the death of Makhdoom Jahanian Jahangast, the ancestors of Shah Jewna had moved to Kannauj.[2] Jewna migrated from Kannauj to Shah Jeewna (a town named after him), which was deserted until he settled there. Makhdoom Jahaniya Mosque is still present in Kannauj.[3] Pir Shah Jewna died in the year 971 A.H. (1569) during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jalal-ud-din Akbar. Jewna's descendants are still present in various places of India and Pakistan.[4]
