==Biography==<br />
His complete name is Kamaaluddin Yahya Maneri. He was son of Makhdoom Israil son of Imam Mohammad Taj Faquih Hashmi (also called Sheikh Al Hind). His family settled in Maner which was later also called [[Maner Sharif]]. He studied Islamic law at [[Al-Nizamiyya of Baghdad]] Academy. He was a disciple of Sheikh Shahab al-Din [[Abu Hafs Umar al-Suhrawardi]] of [[Suhrawardiyya]] Sufi order. His associates include [[Baha-ud-din Zakariya]] Multani, Shaykh [[Saadi Shirazi]] and Kamal al-Din Isma'il al-'Isfahani and [[Makhdoom Shahabuddin Pir Jagjot]] of Balkh who settled in Jaitley near Patna.<br />
<br />
He married one of the daughters of his friend [[Makhdoom Shahabuddin Pir Jagjot]] and had four sons and at least one daughter with her.<br />
<br />
The sacred [[shrine]] is locally known as ''Bari'' (meaning big) Dargah, while the mausoleum of his descendant, Makhdoom Shah Daulat is known as ''Chhoti'' (small) [[Dargah]].<br />
<br />
This shrine has remained a place of [[pilgrimage]] for a long time. Notable visitors include [[Sikandar Lodi]] and the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] emperor [[Babur|Babar]] (1520–1530).<br />
<br />
His son [[Makhdoom Sharfuddin Ahmed Yahya Maneri]]'s books ''Maktoobate sadi'' (hundred letters of century) and ''Maktoobate do sadi'' (two hundred letters of second century) are renowned Persian language collections of spiritual writings. The Persian books on Islamic Theosophy titled ''Maktoobate sadi'' (hundred letters ) and ''Maktoobate do sadi'' (two hundred letters ) were written by his son Sheikh Sharfuddin Ahmed Maneri. The original manuscripts are available in the collection of [[Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Library]] at [[Patna]], Bihar India<br />
