Qazi family of Lakhnauti

[2] The Qazi family are descended from Taj ad-Din an-Nahwi, who had Arab lineage from his ancestor, Shaykh Mahmud al-Qurashi al-Ishqi Randposh.

Shah Manjhan al-Lakhnawtawī (d. Rabi' al-Awwal 1001 AH / 1592 CE) was a prominent 16th-century Sufi saint and leading figure of the Shattari Order.

[9] Taj ad-Din al-Bukhari eventually instructed Manjhan to become a disciple of Muhammad Ghawth, the Sufi master of the Shattari Order in Gujarat.

After the Conquest of Malwa by Sher Shah Suri, Manjhan moved there as he was appointed as the religious administrator of the newly conquered fort-town of Raisen.

[10] Due to political instability, he later relocated to Sarangpur, settling in the village of Ashnah, where he wrote several works on the Islamic sciences and was received by Emperor Akbar.
