Makhdum Shah Daulah (Arabic: مخدوم شاه دولة, Bengali: মখদূম শাহ দৌলা) was a celebrated Sufi Muslim figure of Bengal. He is associated with the spread of Islam into the Sirajganj District, part of a long history of interactions between the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia.[1] He was martyred in Shahzadpur (meaning city of the prince), an area named after him.[2]
