Syed Abdullah Qutb Shah Awm ibn Ya‘lā, al-Jilani, al Qadiri, was a medieval Sufi. He probably came to South Asia in the fifth century A.H. (about the eleventh century according to western era) by order of Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani. He was relative of Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani and one of his spiritual successors. He was probably born around 1110 AD in Baghdad and his lineage goes to Abass Ibne Ali. Qutb Shah Qadiri was an appointed a Qutb (spiritual pole) by Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani and sent as a missionary to South Asia. Due to the efforts of Sufis like him, many of the local tribes converted to the Islam. His descendants lived in Egypt and nearby lands departed for Turkistan and Iran due to persecution at the hands of Hujjaj bin Yusuf. As time went by, they resettled in places such as Bukhara and Hamadan in Turkistan, and Baghdad in Iraq. Some migrated to Khurasan and others to Herat in the mountainous regions of present-day Afghanistan . Also present in Pakistan Punjab region around salt range known as Awans or Alvis and different from other awan tribe.
Sultan Quli Qutb Shah (Persian: سلطان قلی قطب شاه ) (also transliterated in different ways), a Turkman from Hamadan, was the founder of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled the Sultanate of Golconda in southern India from 1518 to 1687. He died in 1543. His paternal ancestor is Abdul-Allah Qutb Shah Awn Ibn Yaala.
Early days
Quli Qutb Shah migrated to Delhi with some of his relatives and friends in the beginning of the 16th century. Later he migrated south to Deccan and served Bahmani sultan.
Setting up Qutb Shahi Sultanate
After the disintegration of the Bahmani Sultanate into the five Deccan sultanates, he declared independence and took title Qutb Shah, and established Qutb Shahi dynasty of Golconda.
Extension of Sultanate
Quli Qutb Shah was a contemporary of Krishana Deva Raya and his younger brother Achyuta Deva Raya of the Vijayanagara empire. Quli extended his rule by capturing forts at Warangal, Kondapalli, Eluru, and Rajamundry, while Krishnadevaraya was busy fighting the ruler of Odisha. He defeated Sitapati Raju (known as Shitab Khan), the ruler of Khammam, and captured the fort. He forced Odisha's ruler to surrender all the territories between the mouths of Krishna and Godavari rivers. He was able to occupy Eluru, Rajamundry and Machilipatnam extending his rule to Coastal Andhra. Quli's campaign against Krishnadevaraya continued until Timmarusu, the Prime Minister of Krishnadevaraya, defeated the Golconda army.
