The spiritual saint Mansur Shah Chishti

The spiritual saint Mansur Shah Chishti is the pir of the Chishtia Niamatia tariqa. In the realm of Ilm-e Ma'refat he is known as a person of the highest attainment. Through his spirituality he still lives on among his devotees and admirers at home and abroad.

He has nearly a hundred thousand disciples. Besides Bangladesh, he has many followers in West Bengal as well. He was born in 1871 in the village of Udibari in the Mazimpur union of Kushtia. His father's name was Hadi Uddin. After his death in 1987, the 19th Poush death-anniversary day and the 3rd Choitro and 21st Ashwin observances are held. On these days discussion meetings and waz mahfils are organized at the Udibari Dayara Pak Darbar Sharif.

Mejbaur Rahman, a khadem of the mazar, says that at the observance many of his devotees and admirers gather from home and abroad. Many people also come from different parts of the country to visit his mazar. However, no kind of shirk- or bid'ah-centred activity takes place around Mansur Shah's mazar, such as prostration before the grave or any conduct contrary to sharia. After his death, Mansur Shah's son Ruhul Alam Chishti has been discharging the duties of the gaddi-nashin pir. The 21 books written by Mansur Shah have won wide repute as unique works of Ilm-e Ma'refat.

Among them, Chehrol Quran, Swargiya Prem, Tawhide Elahi, Hadis Parichay, Asheke Rasul (SAW), Namaj Parichay, Namajer Gupto Parichay, Ratnamala, Muktir Alo, Rojar Parichay, Ichhit Bani o Khoda Praptir Pothe, Ma'refater Chabuk, Gyan Sindhu, Dewan Sharif, Andher Chudan, Satyer Alo, Kartabbya Palon, Amparar Kabyanubad, Shejaraye Tayeba, Allah Prodatta Koran Kai, Neyamate Khoda, Asrare Elahi, Mansurer Bani, Rodde Bodguman and Haqqul Mobin are notable.
