Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Uthman al-Jullabi al-Hujwiri, who lived from about 1009 to between 1072 and 1077 and used the nisba al-Jullabi for himself, was an Islamic scholar and mystic born in the Ghaznavid Empire. He wrote Kashf al-Mahjub, the earliest treatise on Sufism composed in the Persian language, and is credited with helping spread Islam in South Asia through his preaching. He is venerated in South Asia under the honorific names Data Ganj Bakhsh and Data Sahib as the primary saint of Lahore, Pakistan, where his tomb-shrine, the Data Darbar, is one of the most visited shrines in the region and Pakistan's largest shrine by annual visitors. The Government of Pakistan declared 21 November a public holiday in 2016 to mark the start of his three-day death anniversary.
