| Additional information |
Ali Hamadoni — formally Mir Sayyid Ali ibn Shihab al-Din Hamadani — was a 14th-century Sufi mystic and scholar whose influence on the spread of Islam into Kashmir was substantial enough that he is still venerated there as Shah-e-Hamadan centuries after his death. Born in Hamadan in present-day Iran, he made multiple journeys to Kashmir, reportedly accompanied by hundreds of craftsmen and scholars who permanently altered the region's cultural and religious character. Tajikistan has claimed him as a national figure, though his life and work crossed the boundaries of several modern states.
