One account says he was born in early 1209 and lived till 1324 in Panipat, India.
However an epitaph on his tomb in Persian gives his birthplace as Ganja in present-day Azerbaijan; while some scholars opine that in fact, he was born near Ganjah, once a small suburb of Lahore city but now integrated in the main old city complex.
His father, Sheikh Fakhar Uddin was a famous scholar of his time.
His mother was Hafiza Jamal, the daughter of Maulana Nemat Ullah Hamdani.
Some people also claim his father actually came from Iraq and settled down in Panipat.
