'''Jan Muhammad of Jalna''' (or '''Sayyid Jan Muhammad Sufi''', '''Jan Muhammad Darwesh''') was a [[Sufi]] saint in the city of [[Jalna, Maharashtra|Jalna]] (in modern [[Maharashtra]] state).<br />
<br />
In 1679 the [[Maratha]] leader [[Shivaji]] ransacked Jalna for three days, and being aware that Shivaji generally left alone sites of any religion, many of the wealthy of the town took refuge in the saint's [[dargah]] in the suburbs of the city.<ref name="Shashi1996">{{cite book|author=S.
