Family tree of Qutb Awn ibn Ya‘lā
The family tree of Qutb Awn ibn Ya‘lā is traced through his marriages to diverse wives, reflecting a blend of Hazrat Imam Hussain's lineage and Hindu Rajas who embraced the new faith. His first wife, Aiysha, a descendant of Hazrat Imam Husayn, bore him two sons: Abdullah Gohar Awan Shah and Muhammad Ali Kundlan.
Qutub Shah's second wife, Zeenab, a daughter of Hindu Raja Klk, contributed to the family tree with three sons—Muazzamal Ali Kalghan Alvi, Jahan Shah der Yateem, Zamaan Ali Kokhar—and a daughter, Raqia.
The third wife, Khadija, hailing from the Chohan Rajput Kuldan, added three sons—Najaf Ali Yahya, Fateh Ali Kuldan, Muhammad Ali Chohan—and a daughter, Fatima, to the lineage.
The fourth wife, Kalsoom, a Rajput's daughter, expanded the family with three sons—Buhadur Ali Saleh, Karam Ali Rauf, Nadir Ali Usman and a daughter named Hajra.
These descendants assumed names reflecting their diverse heritage, with Awan sub-clans adopting names tied to their Hindu maternal lineage. References for this family tree can be found in the "History of Awan" by Muhammad Sarwar Khan Awan (2009) and historical documents such as the Gazetteer of the Jhelum District 1904 and the Census of Punjab 1911.
