Aḥmad al-Miʿmār al-Ṣiddīqī (1650-1729) was a leading Chistī saint of the late Mughal period and is considered to be instrumental in the revival of the Chistī Order and Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani ṣūfī ṭarīqah (path).[1] His father, Noor Ullah, was a well-known astronomer and calligraphist. He was the grandson of Ustād Aḥmad Lahorī, the architect of the Taj Mahal and Lal Qila.
