DHAKA, July 14, 2023 (BSS) - Spiritual leader Alhaj Maulana Shah Sufi Syed
Ahmadullah, also the incumbent Pir of Azimpur Dayera Sharif, breathed his
last at a city hospital early today.
 
He was 77, a press release said here.

Shah Sufi Syed Ahmadullah was admitted to Square Hospital a couple of days
ago, following his return from hajj, due to cold and respiratory-related

Syed Saif Ullah, demise in 1998.

Historical records, such as the book 'Glimpses of Old Dhaka' by Syed Mohammed
Taifoor, trace the origins of Azimpur Dayera Sharif back to the mid-eighteen
century when it was founded by Shah Sufi Syed Muhammed Dayem (R), the release
added.

Syed Ahmadullah is survived by his wife, one son, two daughters, numerous
relatives and a vast number of disciples to mourn his death.

His teachings and guidance inspired and touched the lives of thousands, both
within the Sufi tradition and beyond.

In addition to his spiritual endeavours, Syed Ahmadullah was known for his
unwavering commitment to community welfare, spreading the message of
tolerance and peace.

Syed Ahmadullah will be buried at the Dayera Sharif compound following a
Namaj-e-Janaja (funeral prayer) after Asr prayers today.
