Hazrat Shah Siddiq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hazrat Shah Siddiq (R) (also rendered Siddik, Siddiky, Siddiqi, Siddiquee) was a 14th century Sufi saint and one of the 360 auliyas or followers who accompanied Hazrat Shah Jalal in his conquest of Sylhet, Bangladesh from Konya, Turkey. He traces his descent from Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (R), the first caliph of Islam. Descendent relatives of his from Panchpara (in Bangladesh) carry a variation of his last name: Siddiquee.
He lies buried in the Panchpara village (P.O. Usman Pur, P.S. Balaganj) of Sylhet, near the north eastern Indian state of Assam.
