One group is of the opinion that he was a companion of the 14th century Sufi saint Hazrat [[Shah Jalal (R)|shah jalal]] (R), while others believe that he came to [[Dhaka|dhaka]] to preach [[Islam|islam]] during the time of [[Akbar|akbar]] (1556-1605). His shrine is located beside the Dhaka High Court. According to the Cadastral Survey Map of 1912-1915, his graveyard and shrine along with two wells to the south of the shrine comprise 70 decimals of land.<br /> <br /> Khwaja Sharfuddin belonged to the Chixtia tariqa, or way, and was awarded the title of &#039;Shah&#039;. People from different walks of life visit his shrine to pray and give alms to the poor. They lit candles at the shrine and ask for boons. There is a governing committee for the shrine which runs a [[Madrasah|madrasah]], gruel kitchen, and library. With the earnings from the shrine, it also publishes a paper. A High Court judge chairs the shrine committee. [Dewan Nurul Anwar Hussain Choudhury]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Biography]]<br /> <br /> [[bn:শরফুদ্দীন, খাজা শাহ্]]</div>
