The Qazi family of Lakhnauti was a medieval Bengali Muslim family who lived in the royal city of Lakhnauti in the Bengal Sultanate. The family was founded by Taj ad-Din an-Nahwi in the 15th century, and has produced numerous influential judges and scholars. The descendants of Shah Manjhan later moved to Gujarat and neighbouring states.
The historic city of Lakhnauti, now in present-day Nawabganj, Bangladesh, was the royal capital of the Sultanate of Bengal and experienced an influx of scholars during this period.
The Shattari or Shattariyya are members of a Sufi order that originated in Safavid Iran in the fifteenth century and developed, completed, and codified in India. Later, secondary branches were taken to the Hejaz and to Indonesia. The word Shattar, which means "lightning-quick," "speed," "rapidity," or "fast-goer" shows a system of spiritual practices that lead to a state of "completion," but the name derives from its founder, Abdullah Shattar.
