Syed Rashid Ahmed Jaunpuri (Bengali: সৈয়দ রশীদ আহমদ জৌনপুরী; 1889–2001) was a Sufi saint,[1] author, scholar of Hadith and Quran, and Muslim missionary in Bangladesh. He was influenced by Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi and his Barelvi movement.[2]
He also written Urdu ghazals, nazm, hamd and naat, his Pen name being Fani.[3] As a Sufi master he was initiated in Qadiriyya,[4] Chishti, Naqshbandi, Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya, Shadhili, Uwaisi, Qalandariyya, Saberiyya and Nizamiyya orders.
His teachings stated that Islam was a unified whole of shariat (exoteric path), tariqa (esoteric path), haqiqat (mystical truth), and marefat (final mystical knowledge), and was incomplete without any one of these.[5] He refused to depend on charity, and lived in Bangladesh almost incognito.[6]
