Seyid Amir Kulal was born and died in 1370 in the village of Sukhor near Bukhara. His father moved to Bukhara from Medina. The master of Amir Kulal was Sheikh "Hadjagan" Muhammad Baba al-Samasi. In the middle of the XIV century, Amir Kulal was considered one of the most significant religious figures of Central Asia.
