Today I overheard my father talking and he mentioned that his father (my grandfather), was a student of mawlana Husain Ahmad Madani in Calcutta. This was news to me! My father never mentioned it (he was surprised that I even knew who Madani saheb was).

I didn't get to ask him much about it, but he said my grandfather brought hazrat Madani to Sylhet and they established some madrasah there (I forgot the name, I will ask again inshallah). Also, my grandfather studied hadith with him and was given ijazah. There are some other details I forgot, I will ask when I get a chance.

My grandfather's name is Ibrahim Ali, son of Munshi Elahi Bakhsh, who is a descendant of someone named Sayyid Qutubuddin, who was one of the people who settled with Shah Jalal in Sylhet. I would be grateful if anyone could perhaps give me some more information about this. My grandfather had written several books in bangla/farsi/urdu/arabic, but many of these were lost (unfortunately, his children did not pay attention to preserving the legacy). I would love to track some of these down if possible.

I have found one Bangladeshi Hafiz living in the UK who is related to a khalifa of Hz Madani (RAH) by way of birth. Besides, in the UK , you
will find some Sylheti people who are religious. They may help you. Where do you live ?

Assalamu alaykum

My maternal Grandfather was also a student of Madani saab, he established the Doyamir madressa in Sylhet. From my fathers side we are descended from a companion of Shah Jalal called Dawr Bakhsh Khateeb.
If you do a search on sunniforum you can find a list of all of Madani saabs Khulafaa from Sylhet.
