==Background==<br />
Makhdum Shah was a descendant of [[Muadh ibn Jabal]], and he was the second son of a ruler in Yemen. <br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
His Pir Murshid was [[Shams Tabrizi]] (who was also the Murshid of [[Rumi]], author of the famous [[Masnavi|Musnavi Sharif]]).{{cn|date=May 2021}} Together with some twenty companions, he travelled east by the land route through [[Bukhara]] and into [[the subcontinent]] preaching Islam. In Bukhara, he met [[Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari]] and spent some time with him. Bukhari presented Daulah with a pair of gray pigeons. Eventually they settled in [[Shahjadpur Upazila|Shahzadpur]], at the time part of a Hindu kingdom ruled by Raja Vikrama Keshari.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
The king was displeased with the disruption caused by Makhdum Shah and his followers and ordered them expelled from his kingdom. Makhdum Shah refused to comply and he and nearly all of his followers were killed. Makhdum Shah is buried in [[Shahjadpur Upazila|Shahzadpur]] in [[Sirajganj District]], near the Shahi mosque.<br />
