Abstract
The tomb of Sheik̲h̲Imam-ud-din is situated at Palosi Pirān behind the Agriculture University Peshāwar. The celebrated Sheik̲h̲Imam-ad-din was born during the early 16th century Christian era at Peshawar. He earned respect in society for his religious devotion and scholarly guidance. The ancestry line of Sheik̲h̲Imām-ad-Din can be traced back to the Kh̲alil tribe(Afghani1965 : 573; Rahman1981:117). Though in the past many attempts have been made to record and translate the inscription yet the scholars remained silent regarding the defaced issues in the text. Therefore, we need to reinvestigate the inscription in order to solve the missing issues. The present attempt will reveal in detail the ancestry line through Tarikh-e-Khan Jahani wa Makhzane Afghāni. Through this source we may be able to find the third and fourth name, which have been rubbed out in the epigraphic record inscribed inside the tomb chamber these defaced names have close association with the understudy Saint. Besides, the inscription is also the time frame in which the construction of the tomb was completed. These are the important findings, which shall be discussed at length in this fresh study.
