Dewait is a village in the Azamgarh district of Uttar Pradesh, India, situated near the Mehnagar Market.

Shah Dewait has highly contributed to the field of knowledge and social upliftment by producing numerous religious scholars, educationists and eminent personalities.

Dewait was donated by the King Haribans of Mehnagar to "Meer Sarfatah Husain" (Meera Baba — a well known name among neighbouring villages), against the blood shedding of Sa'adaat.

A few centuries ago, the Noble Family of Ahl-e-Sa'adaat migrated from the Holy City of Babun Nahar in Iraq to India.

Some of them permanently settled near Azamgarh city, a district of Uttar Pradesh, and named the area Babun Nahar after their native village.
