Abū al-Qāsim Jalāl ad-Dīn Tabrīzī (Persian: أبو القاسم جلال الدین تبریزی) was a celebrated Sufi saint of South Asia.[2] He arrived in Bengal shortly after the start of its Muslim rule, where he propagated Islam to the local populace and spent the rest of his life. The Jaliliyyah Order, a small tariqah, is named after him,[3] and he is considered to be the protagonist of the Sanskrit fiction Sekhaśubhodayā (Advent of the Shaykh).[4]
