Shamsul Ulama Maulana Safiullah Dadaji (Bengali: শামসুল উলামা মাওলানা সফিউল্লাহ দাদাজি; 1870 A.D.- 1948) was renowned as Dadaji among the Muslims of Bengal.[1][2] He was a spiritual scholar, Islamic preacher, philosopher and teacher. He was the Head Maulavi of Calcutta Aliah Madrasah (Now Aliah University). This saint ultimately ended up settling in Kolkata of West Bengal in the Indian subcontinent in early 1900.[3][4] He did not have any formal education or degree from any established institution, but he was an accomplished Islamic thinker.
