Syed Ghāzī Burhān ad-Dīn (Arabic: سيد غازي برهان الدين, Bengali: সৈয়দ গাজী বুরহানউদ্দীন) was a 14th-century Sufi Muslim figure living in Sylhet.
The ancestors of these thirteen families entered the subcontinent after Muhammad bin Qasim's early 8th century conquest of Sindh and travelled to Chittagong via ship.
[3] Gour Govinda, the King of Sylhet, was angered for what he saw as sacrilege due to his Hindu beliefs and had the newborn, Gulzar Alam, killed as well as Burhanuddin's right hand cut off.
After both men being punished, Burhanuddin and Nuruddin's brother, Helimuddin, travelled to North Bengal where they addressed their issues with Sultan Shamsuddin Firoz Shah.
[7] Also in the East End of London, there is a mosque named after him called the Burhan Uddin Masjid on Buckfast Street, Bethnal Green.
