Early life and family

Lakki Shah Sadr lived in Amri at first. Later, he chose to settle in Lakki with his father, Muhammad. He was among the distinguished scholars and spiritual leaders of 600-700 hijri era, time

In the journal "Mehran," Volume 2, 1989, published by the Sindh Adabi Board in Jamshoro, Dr. Abdul Majeed Sindhi mentioned that Khawaja Muin al-Din Chishti referred to a revered saint, Sayyid Sadruddin, residing in a hut in the villages of Lakki in the Sistan region. The explanation notes that during the late 655th Hijri and early 700th Hijri, Hazrat Sadr al-Din lived in Lakki. The title 'Sheikh' is a term of respect for saints. Some historians identify Lucky Shah Sadr as Sadr al-Din Muhammad Ahmad. The city was formerly known as Lakki Teerth. Due to the saintly attributes and respected personality of Hazrat Sadr al-Din, Lakki Shah Sadr (the city) became well-known by his name. Lakki Shah Sadr passed away at an old age, and his mausoleum is situated in the northwest of Lakki Shah Sadr (the city).

During his preaching in various regions, Sayyid Ali Makki eventually settled in the valley between Laki Mountain and the Indus River. Inspired by his teachings, some individuals constructed a house in the area, leading to the place being named 'Lakkalvi,' later evolving into Lakke village in connection with 'Lak.' Over time, the region came to be known as 'Lakki Shah Sadar.'
