Badīʿ al-Dīn, [1] [2] known as Shāh Madār, [1] and by the title Qutb-ul-Madar 1315–1434), [1] [3] was a Syrian [1] Sufi who migrated to India where he founded the Madariyya Sufi brotherhood. [1] [4] He is held in high esteem as a patron saint. [1]
Badi' al-Din hailed originally from Syria, and was born in Aleppo in 1315 CE. [1] [5] In later centuries, a growing number of legends arose in relation to Badi' al-Din, which resulted in sources continuously backdating his year of birth. [1] These same sources also disagree about Badi' al-Din's descent. [1] Some state that he was a sayyid, that is, a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and trace his descent back to Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (died 765 CE). [1] Others mention descent from Muhammad's companion ( sahabi) Abu Hurayra, who died c. 678 CE. [1] The assertion that Badi' al-Din was a Jew who had converted to Islam is not corroborated by other sources. [1]
His teacher was Muḥammad Ṭayfūr Shāmī. [6] After making a pilgrimage to Medina, he journeyed to India to spread Islam. He converted many Hindus to Islam in India, [2] where he founded the Madariyya order. [3] His tomb, built by order of Sultan Ibrahim Sharqi ( r. 1402–40), [1] is at Makanpur. [7]
