Sial Sharif also known as Sial is a village in the Sahiwal Tehsil, Sargodha District of Punjab, Pakistan.[2] Predecessor = Muhammad sulaiman tunsvi
After the death of Muhammad Shams Din, care of the shrine passed to Muhammad Din and, after his demise in 1909, to his son Muhammad Zia-ud-Din.[3]
It subsequently passed on to his eldest son Khwaja Qamar ul Din Sialvi (7 July 1906 – 20 July 1981), president of the Sargodha branch of Muslim League who became famous for donating all his valuables to the Pakistani Army during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965.
