Saleh Muhammad Safoori
Saleh Muhammad Safoori Miana ( pa, ميانا صالح محمد الصفوري) was a Sufi poet from southern Punjab. Saleh was the only son of Safoora Qadiriyya, a local saint. He compiled the poetic collection ''Kulliyat-e-Saleh Muhammad Safoori''. The book gives an introduction to Mai Safoora, Saleh Muhammad Safoori and Ali Haider. The collection contains the tales of Sassi Punnun, Sohni Mahiwal, two si-harfis, two poetic tribute to Sufi Sultan Abdul Hakeem and Jati Abdal and one in memory of his mother Mai Safoora. Other chapters present the history of the area and the style of the life of the people and the close relationship between the different religious communities settled in Sidhnai belt of River Ravi. Qamar is of the opinion that stories about Ali Haidar`s devotion or respect for Mai Safoora had no foundation because Mai Sahiba was almost 54 years junior to the saint whose tomb was constructed in 1795 by the order of Multan`s Afghan ruler Nawab Muzaffar Khan.

Mughal Empire
The Mughal Empire was an early-modern empire that controlled much of South Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. Quote: "Although the first two Timurid emperors and many of their noblemen were recent migrants to the subcontinent, the dynasty and the empire itself became indisputably Indian. The interests and futures of all concerned were in India, not in ancestral homelands in the Middle East or Central Asia. Furthermore, the Mughal empire emerged from the Indian historical experience. It was the end product of a millennium of Muslim conquest, colonization, and state-building in the Indian subcontinent." For some two hundred years, the empire stretched from the outer fringes of the Indus river basin in the west, northern Afghanistan in the northwest, and Kashmir in the north, to the highlands of present-day Assam and Bangladesh in the east, and the uplands of the Deccan Plateau in South India.
