Shah Jalal Dakhini

Shah Jalal Dakhini (Bengali: শাহ জালাল দাখিনী, Arabic: شاه جلال داخني) was a 15th-century Sufi Muslim figure of Dhaka, eastern Bengal (now Bangladesh).

According to 'Abd al-Haqq al-Dehlawi's Akhbar-ul-Akhyar, Dakhini studied under Shaykh Piyara in North India.

He established a khanqah in present-day Motijheel, Dhaka in order to propagate Islamic teachings to the local people.

[1] He gained a large following in Dhaka, so much so that it was seemingly proportionate to the power of a king.

[5] Dakhini is assumed to be buried in the eastern tomb of a single-domed mazar (mausoleum) northeast of the Bangabhaban gateway.
