Nūr al-Hudā Abū'l-Karāmāt as-Saʿīdī al-Ḥusaynī (Arabic: نور الهدىٰ أبو الكرمات السعيدي الحسيني),[1][2][3] better known as Ḥaydar Ghāzī (Persian: حیدر غازی, Bengali: হায়দর গাজী), was the second wazir of Srihat (Sylhet) under the various Sultans of Sonargaon and Lakhnauti.
It is unknown how long Haydar's governorship was but historians estimate his term finished some time after the death of Shah Jalal which was in 1346.
After his rule in Sylhet, Haydar moved to Sonargaon where he spent the rest of his life.
[8][2] Haydar Ghazi's descendant by the name of Shaikh Ali Sher Bengali wrote a book called Commentary on the excursion of the souls (Arabic: شرح نزهة الأرواح, romanized: Sharḥ Nuzhat al-Arwāḥ) which contained one of the earliest biographies of Shah Jalal.
[9][7][10][11] However, Muhammad Mojlum Khan is of the solitary opinion that the biography was written by Haydar Ghazi himself, under his pen name Shaykh Noorul Huda Abul Karamat.
