Shaykh Mir Saiyid Ali Hamedani, may Allah be pleased with him, also well known as Shah-i-Hamedan (1314-1385) belonged to the Kubraviya order. He migrated from Iran and laid down the foundation of the Kubraviya order in Kashmir. He is the author of a large number of works, of which one - Zakhiratul Muluk deals with the nature of the Islamic state, the duties of rulers and rights of the people. It is significant that a sufi should write a book on the nature of government. Hamedani was also a social reformer. To secure the freedom of man, he placed great emphasis on Akl-i-Halal, earning his livelihood through legalised means of income.
