Syed Shah Najmuddin Ghawsud Dahar Qalandar (Urdu: سید نجمددیں گوسود دھر قلندر, Hindi: सय्यद शाह नजमुद्दीन गवसुद दहार क़लन्दर) well known as Qutub ul Aqtaab (1209-1324 CE, probably born at Delhi, India) was a Qalandar and Sunni Muslim scholar, Sufi saint of the Chishti Order, and one of the most famous Sufis on the Indian subcontinent who lived and taught in India. He traced his lineage to prophet Muhammad through Imam Hussain.

Initially, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya made him his Mureed and later asked him to go to Rum, and get the Faiz from Hazrat Shah Khizr Rumi who gave him the title “Ghawsud Dahar”, and made him his Khalifa, after receiving khilafat from him, Qalandar went to Arab, Ajam, China and India then he finally settled in Malwa region of India.
