Abdullah Shah Ghazi
is considered to be patron saint of Karachi in Sindh, Pakistan
. The real name of Abdullah Shah Ghazi was Abdulla bin Nahban and he was Muslim Umayyad general who died at Debal while trying to conquer Sindh in 711 CE.
The Sindhi pirates were raiding Arab shipping trade under the patronage of the ruler Raja Dahir. One case which came to the notice of then Governor of Basra, Al-Hajjaj bin Yousef, involved the kidnapping of noble women and gifts to the Caliph Walid from the ruler of Ceylon. This event triggered a letter to the Raja Dahir and he replied that he does not have control over pirates in his kingdom. This reply resulted in the launch of a military expedition. This army was led by Abdulla bin Nahban and Badil bin Tuhfa, respectively and were both defeated at Debal. According to Dr. Daud Pota the tomb of Abdullah Shah at Clifton in Karachi is of this General, Abdulla bin Nabhan.
