Shah Paran

Hazrat Shah Paran (Bengali: শাহপরান, Shah Farhan) was a Sufi saint of the Jalalia section of the Suhrawardiyya order. He was the nephew of Shah Jalal and was born in Hadramaut, Yemen, and accompanied his uncle, Shah Jalal, with whom he arrived in India in 1303 AD. He took part in the expedition of Sylhet which was led by Shah Jalal. After the conquest of Sylhet he established a khanqah at Khadim Nagar in Dakshingarh Pargana, about 7 km away from Sylhet town, where he started Sufi spiritual practices and activities. He played a significant role in propagating Islam and establishing Muslim rule in the Sylhet region. Certain miraculous activities are attributed to Shah Paran:

One incident will be enough to prove that issue,
Once Shah Jalal's nephew,
Called Shah Paran did a terrible thing,
He ate some pigeons when Shah Jalal was on an outing,
When he came to know of this eventually,
He became rather angry.

The dejected Shah Paran,
Was quite upset then,
He collected the feathers of the pigeons being angry,
Throwing a puff of air, tossed them in the air gently,
By Allah's grace, myriad pigeons were born right there,
Which flew in the sky cutting the air.
