Husām ad-Dīn Mānikpūrī ( Persian: حسام الدین مانکپوری) was a 15th-century Islamic scholar of North India. He belonged to the Chishti order, following his teacher Nur Qutb Alam of Bengal.
Manikpuri was a descendant of Mir Syed Shahabuddin of the Gardēzī Sadaat family, who had settled in Manikpur during the reign of Iltutmish (r. 1211–1236). [1]
He travelled to the Bengal Sultanate, where he studied under Nur Qutb Alam of Hazrat Pandua. [2] Following his studies, he fasted for seven years. [3]
There is a debate on the date of his death. According to Ghulam Sarwar Lahori, he died on in 882 AH (1477-1478 CE). [4] On the other hand, Hasan Askari asserts that Manikpuri died on 15 Ramadan 853 AH (9 November 1449 CE). [5] Presently, his followers commemorate his annual urs (death anniversary) on 11 March. He is buried in Garhi Manikpur, Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh.
