## Early life and education[edit]

Alaul Haq Umar Khalidi was born in 1301, in the city of Hazrat Pandua to a Muslim family descended from Khalid ibn al-Walid, an Arab commander and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, who belonged to the Banu Makhzum clan of Quraysh. His father, Shaykh As`ad Khālidī,[3] migrated from Lahore to Pandua where he served as the Finance Minister of the Sultanate of Bengal. His uncles, cousins and brothers also held high ranks in the Sultanate court.[4] Some sources claim that Haq was first taught by Nizamul Haq Sarfi, who was a senior scholar of Bengal based in Lakhnauti and teacher of Nasiruddin Bahath. This claim however, has been doubted by others due to issues relating to time periods. After the death of his father, Haq was meant to have inherited two gardens worth 8000 takas though someone else had taken possession of it. Haq never attempted to regain the inherited property.[2]

Excelling in his studies, Alaul Haq began calling himself Ganj-e-Nābāt and gained popularity in Bengal. This act was criticised by Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi, as his teacher was Ganj-e-Shakar (store of sugar), and the title of Ganj-e-Nabat (store of fine sugar) was a sign of arrogance and superiority. Akhi Siraj of the Chishti Order returned to Bengal on the advice of his teacher, Nizamuddin Auliya, where he was appointed as the country's court scholar. Alaul Haq became his student and dropped the Ganj-e-Nabat title. There are many stories relating to Haq's relationship with his mentor Siraj. It is said that Haq would accompany his teacher with a cauldron on his head, and carrying an oven whilst barefooted so that he could his teacher could have hot meals, and would often have to walk in such a state in front of the homes of his relatives. This eventually led to Alaul Haq suffering from alopecia.[5] This supposedly even took place during Siraj's numerous Hajj visits.[6]

Alaul Haq was admired by his teacher Siraj to such an extent that he was made his successor and the husband of Siraj's daughter.[7]

## Career[edit]

Following the death of Siraj, Haq served as the court scholar; setting up a khanqah in Hazrat Pandua and becoming an elite member of the Sultan of Bengal Shamsuddin Ilyas Shah's government.[8] During the reign of Sultan Sikandar Shah, Haq was put in charge of the royal treasury of the Bengal Sultanate.[2]

It is said that Alaul Haq was so generous to his students and the needy that his generosity outweighed that of the Sultan. As a result, he was banished to Sonargaon for two years before being allowed to return to his Khanqah.[5][8] Ashraf Jahangir Semnani, a former ruler of Semnan in modern-day Iran,[9] had abdicated his throne to become a student of Alaul Haq in Pandua.[10] His journey took two years and upon meeting Haq and his disciples in the outskirts of Pandua, Semnani was carried by doli to Haq's khanqah where he was fed four handfuls of rice and paan by Alaul Haq. Semnani studied under Alaul Haq for 12 years, before being instructed by him to go and propagate in Jaunpur.[11][12][2]

## Death[edit]

The historic Chhoti Dargah cemetery in Hazrat Pandua.

It is suggested by 'Abd al-Haqq al-Dehlawi, in his Akhbar al Akhyar, that Alaul Haq died in the year 800 AH (1398 AD).[13] On the other hand, the guardians of Haq's shrine possess a book which cites his death in 786 AH (1384 AD). It has also been said that Alaul Haq's janaza was performed by Jahaniyan Jahangasht.[5] His shrine, the Chhoti Dargah,[14] is one of the major dargahs of Bengal; located in the ruined city of Hazrat Pandua in Malda and adjacent to the other contemporary scholars of Bengal such as Jalaluddin Tabrizi. Haq's disciples included his son Nur Qutb Alam (who was his successor), as well as the Sufi saints Ashraf Jahangir Semnani and Husayn Dhukkarposh.[15] His urs is commemmorted from 23-25 Rajab in Chhoti Dargah, presently in West Bengal, India.[8] Alaul Haq's grandson, Badr Islam, and his great grandson, Shaykh Zahid, were prominent scholars in Sonargaon.[16]
