Ibrahim Danishmand

Syed Ibrāhīm Dānishmand (Bengali: সৈয়দ ইব্রাহীম দানিশমন্দ, Persian: سید ابراهیم دانشمند) was a 16th-century zamindar and Islamic scholar who belonged to the Qadiriyya Sufi order.

Born into a Syed family, there are differing opinions on the exact origins of Danishmand, with one suggestion being that he was a native of Persia who migrated to Bengal in the 16th century.

[4] He was recognised for these achievements by the Emperor of Delhi, from whom he received the title Malik al-Ulama (King of Scholars), and was also known by the honorific Qutb-ul-Ashiqeen (Pivot of Lovers).

[6][1] At some point, Danishmand was granted land tax-free in Sonargaon by the Sultan of Bengal, later transferring there from his previous holdings in Taraf in Greater Sylhet.

[1] He was buried in Sonargaon, near the 15th century Fath Shah Mosque in a tomb complex he shares with several family members and other Islamic figures.
