HSJ Urus

Sylheti Heritage Collection brings you the

heart of Sylhet and the heart of its people

which, is the Mazaar Sharif of the revered

Sufi Saint of Bangladesh Hazrat Shahjalal.

Hazrat Shahjalal was the Sufi practitioner

who travelled from Turkey to Sylhet to find

the land that matched the hand full of soil his uncle

gave in his hand and sent him off to search of his quest.
Shahjalal arrived in Sylhet 1303 with 360 companions

he met during his journey. He came over to seek justice

and with him came Sufism, where it flourished in the region.
He never returned to Turkey and lived his adult

life in Sylhet and that's where he remains at the

Mazaar Sharif, aka the Dorga in Sylhet town
In this book we cover the Urus, the commemoration

of Hazrat Shahjalal's death; for those who have never

been or plan to visit, and for those that visited but

didn't get round to taking part.
