Shah Tajuddin

Tajuddin was born in Baghdad in the 13th century. It is considered that he has lineage from the Arab tribe of Quraysh. He joined his father, Alauddin, and his brothers, Shah Ruknuddin and Bahauddin in accompanying Shah Kamal Quhafa in his quest to meet Shah Jalal and reunite with his father, Burhanuddin. In 1315, they reached Sylhet and spent some time as a murid of Shah Jalal in Dargah Mahalla.

In June 1315, Jalal then ordered Shah Kamal Quhafa and his 12 dervishes to travel to north-western Taraf and propagate the religion there. The 13 men, as well as Kamal's wife, then set off from Sheikh Ghat along the Surma River in three small bajras known as pangshi (or panshi). The area which they resided in was originally a cluster of islands in body of water called Ratnang. It came to be known as Shaharpara (the neighbourhood of Shahs), on the banks of the Ratna river.[4]

Tajuddin later moved to Gauharpur in the Aurangapur Pargana where he spent the rest of his life.[5]

He is buried in a mazar in the village of Lama Tajpur in Sadipur Union, Osmani Nagar Upazila.[6] Tajpur in Osmani Nagar, is named after him.
