\nMulla Shah Badakhshi was a prominent Sufi saint of the Qadiriyya order and the chief disciple of Miyan Mir. He was the spiritual preceptor of Prince Dara Shikoh, Emperor Shah Jahan’s elder son. Both Shah Jahan and Dara Shikoh were interested in Sufism and engaged in discussions with Mulla Shah, including on concepts like Wahdat-al-wujud (unity of being), which was central to many Sufi philosophies. Aurangzeb, an orthodox Sunni, viewed Dara Shikoh’s syncretic approach and ideas like Wahdat-al-wujud with suspicion and considered them heretical. After becoming emperor, Aurangzeb persecuted those associated with Dara Shikoh, including Mulla Shah, whom he exiled from Lahore.
