Sayyid Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari (Persian: سید جلال الدین سرخ پوش بخاری, c. 595-690 AH, 1190 – 1295 CE was a saint from the Indian subcontinent. He belonged to the Jalali Sufi order and was descended from the 10th Imam, Ali al-Hadi.

Early life

[edit]

Bukhari, a family name, is derived from the location of his birth from the city of Bukhara in the ancient administrative region of Bukhara Province Uzbekistan.[2] Sayyed Jalaluddin Bukhari , who was born in Bukhara but later settled in Bukkur located in sindh alongside his in laws descendant from Muhammad Al-Makki. However after a dispute with his father in laws brothers, he further migrated with his father in law (Sayyid Badruddin) to Uch in undivided India..[3] Bukhari was nicknamed Surkh-Posh ("clad in red") because he often wore a red cape.[1]

Career

[edit]

Bukhari's life was spent travelling. As an Islamic missionary, he converted tribes such as the Soomro, Samma, Chadhar, Sial, Daher and the Warar to Islam. Bukhari was one of the Chaar Yaar (not to be confused with the Rashidun). The Chaar Yaar were the group of pioneers of the Suhrawardiyya and Chisti Sufi movements of the 13th century. Bukhari founded the "Jalali" order.[citation needed]

According to legend: Jalaluddin Surkh Posh was on his way to India and met Chengiz Khan, the Mongol conqueror. So forth he tried to convince him to convert to Islam however failed.[1]

Family

[edit]

Bukhari's biography and family history are cited extensively in such works as the Gulzar-e-Mustafavi"" cited on the Khomeini of Irans website as Gulzar Murtazvi 2nd edition, Marat-e-Jalali, the Mazher-i-Jalali, the Akber-ul-Akhyar, the Rauzat-ul-Ahbab, Maraij-ul-Walayat, Manaqabi Qutbi, the Siyar-ul-Aqtar, the Siyar-ul-Arifeen and the Manaqib-ul-Asifya. These manuscripts are held by Bukhari Sayyids, however the work Marat-e-Jalali was first published (by Asrar Karami Press) in 1918 into a book form from Allahabad, India (eBook) and its second edition with updates and more research material was printed (by V I Printers) as a book in 1999 from Karachi, Pakistan. His descendants are called Naqvi al-Bukhari. However, this book is heavily critiqued due to having names and family trees mixed up. Furthermore, the author a police officer claimed Bukhari lineage but did not know his own bloodline which he claimed to be of Bukhari lineage.[4]

In Kannauj there is a mosque in the name of Bukhari's son Makhdoom Jahaniyan Jahangasht, built by Jahaniyan's descendant and Sikandar Lodi’s advisor Syed Sadarudin Shah Kabir Naqvi Al Bukhari. This mosque has an aesthetic blend of architectural styles.[5]

The tomb of Bibi Jawindi and the tomb and mosque of Jalaluddin Bukhari have been on the "tentative" list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2004.[6] World Monuments Fund also promotes its conservation.[7]
