Khwaja Aziz Chishti (Bengali: খাজা আজীজ চিশতী, Persian: خواجه عزيز چشتی), was a 14th-century Sufi Muslim figure in the Sylhet region.[1] Aziz's name is associated with the propagation of Islam in Balaganj. In 1303, he joined Shah Jalal in the Conquest of Sylhet.[2]
Aziz met Shah Jalal and decided to accompany him in his expedition across the Indian subcontinent.[3] In 1303, he took part in the final battle of the Conquest of Sylhet under Shah Jalal's leadership against Raja Gour Govinda. Aziz died a few years after the conquest, and was buried in a mazar (mausoleum) in Nij Gohorpur, Balaganj.[4]
