Abstract	:	Shaykh ʿAlāʾī b. Ḥasan (d. 957/1550) was a prominent leader of the North Indian Mahdawiyya movement. ʿAlāʾī accepted the claim of Sayyid Muḥammad Jawnpūrī (d. 910/1504) as Mahdī, through the teachings of Sayyid Muḥammad's disciple Shaykh ʿAbdallāh Niyāzī, and established a hospice (dāʾira) in Bayāna around 955/1548.
