has said, whoever in this world has erected a mosque for God, God wdll 
bnild for him in Paradise seventy palaces. This mosqne was built 
by Makhdum Shaikh, son of Muhammadu-1-kha.lidi, who was of sainfly 
virtue, leader of the pious, and servant of Shaikh Nur (May his shadow 
continue). This mosque is called the Qutb Shald mosque and its date is 
Makhdum ‘Abaid Raji (990 A.Id.) = Makhdum who is the humble
