Hazrat Shah Siddiq

Hazrat Shah Siddiq

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 Yemen. He traces his descent from Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (R), the first caliph of Islam. Descendents of Shah Siddiq from Panchpara (in Bangladesh) carry the surname 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.
