Makhdoom Jahanian Jahan Gasht Sheikh Jalal al-Din Bukhari (707–785 AH), is counted among the great Sufis and great scholars of the subcontinent. He not only dedicated himself to the propagation of Islam but also took up the task of spiritual and moral education and training of the common people. He is a renowned saint of the Suhrawardiya and Chishtia lineages. He pledged allegiance to Sheikh Ruknuddin Abu al-Fath in the Suhrawardiyya order and received favor from Sheikh Nasiruddin Mahmud in the Chishtiyya order. One of the important collections of Jalaluddin Bukhari's works is the Khazana Jawahar Jalaliyya. It was compiled by his disciple Fazlullah Abbasi in (781 AH).Khazana Jawahar Jalaliyya is not just a repository of mystical teachings and moral   points. It is also an invaluable literary and historical source of the intellectual, cultural and religious milieu of the 8th century AH. As such, it is also an important source of Sufi thought and the socio-cultural events of the Muslim world in the subcontinent.
