Maira Amjad Ali is a village in the Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is part of Union Council Peeran of tehsil Mansehra. The village has a population of approximately 3,000 people. It is located 10 kilometres away from Attar shisha and 6 kilometres from Sandesar, from where its road diverges from the Kaghan Highway (N15).

History

The village's name is derived from the name of Jumd Ali Awan later became Amjad Ali the clan of settlers who made this their home before Mughal emperors.

According to legend, Qutb Shah (Persian: قطب شاه) was a ruler of Herat and a general in the army of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}.

Historical sources attest that the Khorasan and Herat were under the rule of King Nuh III of Samanids,[1] the seventh of the Samanid line—at the time of Sebük Tigin and his older son, Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi.

The governor of Herāt was a noble by the name of 'Faik',[2] who governed on behalf of King Nuh III.[citation needed] Faik was a powerful, but insubordinate governor of Nuh III;[citation needed] and had been punished by Nuh III. Faik made overtures to Bogra Khan and Ughar Khan of Khorasan.[citation needed] Bogra Khan answered Faik's call, came to Herāt and became its master.[1] This person, Faik, had nothing to do with any fictitious 'Qutb Shah'. No real proof exists anywhere of the actual existence of any such individual.

In 994, Nuh III invited Alp Tigin to come to his aid. Alp Tigin, along with Mahmud of Ghazni, defeated Faik and annexed Herāt, Nishapur and Tous.

It is claimed in legend and folklore that Qutub Shah and nine of his sons accompanied and assisted Sultan Mahmud Ghazni{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} in his early eleventh-century conquests; of what today forms parts of Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Northern India, who, according to tribal traditions, settled primarily in the Salt Range.
