Syed Shah Najmuddin Ghawsud Dahar Qalandar (Urdu: سید نجمددیں گوسود دھر قلندر, Hindi: सय्यद शाह नजमुद्दीन गवसुद दहार क़लन्दर) well known as Qutub ul Aqtaab (1209-1324 CE, probably born at Delhi, India) was a Qalandar and Sunni Muslim scholar, Sufi saint of the Chishti Order, and one of the most famous Sufis on the Indian subcontinent who lived and taught in India.[1][2][3][4][5] He traced his lineage to prophet Muhammad through Imam Hussain.
