Hazrat Khan Jahan Ali (R.) (born 1369 – died October 25, 1459) was a preacher of the Muslim faith and the local ruler of Bagerhat in Bangladesh. Among his other names are Ulugh Khan, Khan-i-Azam and so on.
Hazrat Ulugh Khan Jahan Ali (R.) was born in Delhi in 1369 AD into a noble family. His father's name was Akbar Khan and his mother's name was Ambia Bibi (source needed). It is believed that his ancestors were residents of Turkey. Although Khan Jahan Ali began his primary education with his father, he received his secondary education under the famous Wali-e-Kamil Pir Shah Niamatullah of Delhi. He acquired deep knowledge of the Quran, the Hadith, the Sunnah and the science of Fiqh.
In 1389 AD Khan Jahan Ali began his career as a commander in the army. Within a very short time he was promoted to the post of chief commander. In 1394, at only 26/27 years of age, he joined as Zabit (governor) of the province of Jainpur. Later, when Bengal was attacked under Sultan Khan Jahan's leadership with 60,000 well-trained vanguard troops and another two hundred thousand soldiers, King Ganesh took refuge at Bhaturia in Dinajpur (source needed). In 1418 AD Khan Jahan took position at Barobazar in Jessore and began preaching and spreading the religion of Islam in the south-western part of Bengal.
Khan Jahan's first wife was named Sona Bibi. It is said that Sona Bibi was the only daughter of Khan Jahan's pir Nur Kutubul Alam. Khan Jahan's second wife, Rupa Bibi alias Bibi Begni, was a converted Muslim. Following the names of his two wives, Khan Jahan Ali built the Sona Mosque and the Bibi Begni Mosque.
Hazrat Khan Jahan Ali (R.) passed away on October 25, 1459 (according to the inscription on the mazar sharif, 26th of Zilhajj in 863 Hijri) at the age of 90, while absorbed in the Isha prayer in the darbar room of the Sixty-Dome Mosque.
Every year at the time of the full moon of the month of Chaitra an urs is held at Khan Jahan Ali's mazar and hundreds of thousands of people gather there. At present the Morol lineage, as his nearest descendants, lives in Khulna, Rampal and various places at home and abroad.
