Description: Shaikh Ismail was born in 1259 /1260 CE in Multan and was brought up in under the guidance of his father Shaikh Sadruddin and grandfather Shaikh Bahauddin Zakaria. He died in 1349 AD. He was bestowed with the honorific title as `Makhdum-i-Hind`. No big dome and massive tomb kind of structure was erected as per his wish and no Urs rituals take place at his grave in accordance with the instructions of Shariah. He is the only Saint in whole of North India where no Urs rituals are performed. This is one of the most evident and striking evidence of saint`s adherence and strict following of the Shariah. The writer of Mirat al Asrar paid a special visit to this mosque and tomb in the reign of Shahjahan and commented ` that it is a great place of Barkat`
