Shah Ali Baghdadi (R) a saint of the 15th century. Shah Ali came from Baghdad and his tomb is at Mirpur on the outskirts of Dhaka. His father, Syed Fakhruddin Razi, was a Hafiz, a Mufassir, a Muhaddith and a Mufti.
Shah Ali came to Delhi with some disciples in 813/14 AH (1412 AD) at the age of twenty. He left Delhi and travelled to the village of Kasba Girdah in Fatehabad Pargana (Faridpur district) which had been conquered by the Muslims during the reign of jalaluddin muhammad shah (1415-1433). Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah granted him 12,000 bighas of land. At Girdah he converted a large number of Hindus to Islam. From Faridpur he came to Dhaka where he became a disciple of Shah Bahar (R) of the Chistia order. Here also he converted many people. He died at Mirpur at the age of about one hundred years

Mazar Sharif is as known as a holly place. This mazar is about Hazrat Shah Ali Bughdadi (R). Hazrat Shah Ali along with his disciples came from Baghdad to Dhaka via Delhi in 1412 to preach Islam in this region.
Hazrat Shah Ali along with his disciples came from Baghdad to Dhaka via Delhi in 1412 to preach Islam in this region. Many versions of his miracle power and death are told. One saying goes, in 1498, he decided to meditate for 40 days (chillah) in an isolated room. In the 39th day, his disciples could hear wild screams from the room. They broke open the door and found the body of Shah Ali lying dead. Another verson states they found a flame instead of body which was buried at the shrine. Anyway, the shrine remains crowded with devotees all over the year. Once it became a too noisy due to activities of unsocials when Govt. stepped in to take over control and management of the shrine. It's now a much cleaner place. A Mosque and madrassa have been added and there is plan to make the place presentable to the visitors.
The huge tree over the shrine looks similar to Banyan (Ashattha/Bot) with smaller leaves. It is known at the shrine as ‘Firni/Shirni’ tree. It bears fruit size of 'Indian Jujube' (boroi) that turn yellow when ripe and tastes similar to grapes. During season the devotees eat it with respect.
It's a crowded place of Mirpur are. Various kind of people gathered here all time.
I believe in religion but in this place , if you carefully search on Thursday. You could know the reality of illegal peoples. Anyway The Mosque and the Tomb of "Hr. Shah Ali " are religious and good place .
