Born in 1886, he is regarded as one of the most influential Sufis of twentieth-century Bengal. After pledging allegiance to Shah Sufi Sayyid Wazed Ali in Kolkata and undergoing twelve years of spiritual training, he received the title 'Khwaja' and returned to Enayetpur, Sirajganj, where he founded the Enayetpur Darbar Sharif. His path drew on the Qadiri, Chishti, Naqshbandi and Mujaddidi lineages, with a marked Naqshbandi-Mujaddidi emphasis. He died in 1952 and was buried at the Enayetpur shrine on the bank of the Jamuna river, today a centre visited by hundreds of thousands of followers.
