An eleventh-century Sufi held in tradition to be among the first to settle in Bengal, said to have arrived around 1053 with his teacher Sayyid Shah Surkhul Antia. After preaching, the local Koch ruler granted him Madanpur as rent-free land, where he died (c. 1075) and was buried. His tomb lies in Madanpur village, about 8 km south of Netrokona town. He is a symbolic figure of Islam's early arrival in Bengal, though sources treat the pre-conquest dating with caution.
