Hazrat Syed Burhanuddin Qutub-ul-Alam, the father of [[Shah e Alam]], was the grandson of Hazrat Syed Makhdoom [[Jahaniyan Jahangasht]]. Attracted to the court of [[Ahmad Shah I]], he settled at Vatva and died there in 1452. He founded the Bukhariya sect of Gujarat. The nobles of the courts of Ahmed Shah, Sultan Qutubuddin [[Ahmad Shah II]] raised a small shrine first. Afterwards a mosque, a tomb to one of his sons, a large many-sided pond, and a vast mausoleum was built [[Mahmud Begada]]. The mosque and son's tomb are in the flat Hindu style without arches or minarets. But in the large mausoleum, with a great gain in size, the arch takes the place of the beam, and the dome is raised high in air by a second tier of arches. The arch, uniformly used with one consistent design, has much beauty and propriety. The tomb is of the most elaborate workmanship surmounted by a richly inlaid canopy. But tho building is incomplete, it wants the outer aisles and has no stone trellis work in its windows.<ref name=gg>{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Ahmedabad|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EL4IAAAAQAAJ&dq=dastur+khan+mosque&pg=PA284|publisher=Government Central Press|page=287|year=1879}} {{PD-notice}}</ref><ref name="Times2011">{{cite news|title=AHMEDABADS OTHER ROZAS |publisher=Times of India Publications|date=25 February 2011|url=http://lite.epaper.timesofindia.com/mobile.aspx?article=yes&pageid=2&edlabel=TOIA&mydateHid=25-02-2011&pubname=&edname=&articleid=Ar00202&format=&publabel=TOI|access-date=7 December 2014}}</ref>
