Khwaja Shāh Kalīm Allāh Jahānābādī b. Nūr Allāh b. Aḥmad al-Miʿmār al-Ṣiddīqī was a leading Chistī saint of the late Mughal period and is considered to be instrumental in the revival of the Chistī and Hamadaniyyah ṣūfī ṭarīqah. His father, Noor Ullah, was a well-known astronomer and calligraphist. He was the grandson of Ustād Aḥmad Lahorī, the architect of the Taj Mahal and Lal Qila.
