Sheikh Rukn-ud-Din Abul Fateh (Punjabi: شیخ رکن الدین ابوالفتح; 26 November 1251 – 3 January 1335), commonly known by the title Shah Rukn-e-Alam ("Pillar of the World"), was an eminent 13th and 14th-century Punjabi Muslim Sufi saint from Multan (present-day Punjab, Pakistan), who belonged to Suhrawardiyya Sufi order.

He was Shah Rukn-e-Alam's Ataleeq-e-Awwal, Khalifa-e-Awwal and was married to the daughter of Sheikh Baha-ud-Din Zakariya.

The saint is still revered today and his tomb is the focus of the pilgrimage of over 100,000 pilgrims yearly from all over South Asia.

The tomb is said to have been built by Ghias-ud-Din Tughlak (r.1320-1325 AD) during his governorship of Depalpur, between 1320 and 1324 CE and was given by his son, Muhammad bin Tughluq to the descendants of Shah Rukn-e-Alam for the latter's burial in 1330.

The entire glittering glazed interior is the result of new tiles and brickwork done by the Kashigars of Multan.
