Shrine and cult survived the Mongols. The saint cult blossomed politically and financially under the Ilkhanids and Kartids. Qutb al-Din Muhammad Jami, and his son, Shihab al-Din Ismaʿil, were the first accumulators of wealth and power. Qutb al-Din had opaque connections to a wealthy Indian benefactor, and hosted Shams al-Din Muhammad Kart, instituting a bond between the families. Shihab al-Din married a son to a Kartid princess, and accepted a Kart king (malik) as his acolyte, thereby garnering tangible and intangible benefits for shrine and cult. The apogee of the shrine’s affluence and influence was under the Timurids.
