Abdul Ghafoor Pechuho, better known as Humayooni and Muftoon Humayooni, was an Islamic scholar, saint and poet. A disciple, and student of his father Muhammad Yaqoob, he belonged to the Qadiri Sufi order, and started a mystic tradition in Greater Sindh.[2] [3] Much of what is known about his life is through Sufi tradition, and separating it from historical reality is difficult.[4]
Humayooni wrote many books such as Fatwaa-e-Humayooni, Deewane Maftoon, Frahang-e-Humayooni and others. Humayooni had command over Sindhi, Persian and Arabic, and taught these languages to his disciples. Besides that he was a poet and his book of poetry is known as Dewan-e-Maftoon.[5]
He died on 20 June 1918.
