A disciple and successor of Akhi Siraj â an emissary of Nizamuddin Auliya from Delhi â he served as a court scholar under the Bengal Sultanate, founded a khanqah, and was renowned for his generosity. Among his many disciples was his son Nur Qutb Alam; his shrine at Pandua (Malda) remains a major pilgrimage destination.
