Hazrat Shah Jewna's forefather Makhdoom Syed Jalaluddin Surkh Bukhari's father Hazrat Abu Moweed married the daughter of Wali Turan Mehmood Bin Bafra Saljoqi. After him, Makhdoom Syed Jalaluddin Surkh Bukhari was also married to the princess of Bukhara who gave birth to two sons named Syed Ali and Syed Jaffar.[3]

After the death of Makhdoom Jahanian Jahangast the ancestors of Shah Jewana's Sadats moved to Kannauj (India) to preach Islam.[4]

He started his holy mission of preaching Islam from Kannauj, where he struggled really hard to complete his noble task. There is a town ‘Jewn’ associated with his name in the tehsil Jalalabad of Kannauj district. Tehsil Jalalabad is also linked with the name of his ancestor Makhdoom Jalaluddin Jahanian Jahan Ghasht, while in district Kannauj, Saadat Shah Jewna's colonized towns - Siray-e-Miraan, Uch, Bibiyan Jalalpur, Makhdoom Pur, Laal Pur associated with the name of Saint Laal Bukhari.[5]

Jewna migrated to Shah Jeewna ( a town on his name) from Kannauj, which was deserted but as soon as he reached the area, it was filled with blessings of Allah. Makhdoom Jahaniya Mosque is still present in Kannauj.[6] [7][8]Pir Shah Jewna left this temporary world in the year 971 A.H. (1569 A.D.) during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jalal-ud-din Akbar. At that time, Fareed-ud-din Bukhari was in power in Punjab and Syed Abdul Wahab Bukhari in Delhi. It is said that all these great saints were the close relatives of Hazrat Shah Jewna, so they along with Emperor Akbar might have attended the funerals of Pir Shah Jewna and also used to pay visit to this great saint. Jewna's descendants are still present in various places of India including Abdullapur Meerut.[9][10][11]
