Hazrat Ishaan was an influential Sunni saint from Bukhara, Uzbekistan. He was the second son of Khwaja Sayyid Mir Sharifuddin son of Ziauddin son of Muhammad son of Tajuddin son of Hussein son of Zahra daughter of Bahauddin Naqshband. Hazrat Ishaan was granted permission from his father to study in a royal college and became an accomplished scholar. After twelve years of spiritual training, Hazrat Ishaan Saheb reached the level of a Shaykh in Tasawuff in the year 1598.

He has sent disciples all over Central Asia under, whom 2 have been sent to Tibet. Jahangir firmly believed in him, being taught by his father Akbar that he was born through Hazrat Ishaan´s prayers when Akbar desperately wished to have a child. Becoming entangled in the struggle against the Shia community there, Moghul emperor Shah Jahan evacuated him in the year 1636 to Delhi. Hazrat Ishaan spent his last six years in Lahore, where Jahangir’s son Shah Jahan has built a Palace for him, that later became his mausoleum.
