The mausoleum of Syed Janullah Shah, a prominent religious personality and a great scholar of Persian language is situated in Janullah Shah's Kot, near Imam Bargah Shah Iraq. Syed Janullah Shah was the crown of Rizvi Sadats of Rohri who composed a Diwan (in Persian language) and wrote the Tafseer of Holy Quran, which was completed on Ramzan 12, 1136 A.H. Both the original manuscripts are preserved with the family. Janullah Shah also famous as Sufi Janullah, was the ardent followers of Sufi Shah Inayat.

Although the traces of Kot or the fortress do not exist any more but the area still carries the ancient identity and continues to be known after the same. The shrine complex was been reconstructed in mid 1990s reportedly by a Hindu devotee from abroad. It comprises three chambers of varied sizes containing graves of the family members and the khalifas of the revered scholar.

The two chambers at the entry point of the mausoleum contain 7 graves each 2 left and 5 (2 to its right sides chambers respectively).

Syed Ghulam Rasool Shah son of Syed Ghulam Shah (great grand son of Syed Janullah Shah) is the custodian of original manuscripts and precious relics of Syed Janullah Shah Rizvi.

A steel bar or the Beragi bearing the name of Hazrat Ali (AH), a begging bowl, few pairs of caps and a prayer mate are some of the rare objects belonging to Syed Janullah Shah.
