balia basanti to furfura sharif
Does the name "Balia Basanti" sound strange? But surely the name "Furfura Sharif" sounds familiar? But if it is to be said, Balia Basanti was the earlier name of Furfura Sharif? Wonder Keep reading This is Furfura Darbar Sharif, a village in the Jangipara community development block of the Srirampur subdivision of the Hooghly district in West Bengal.

Some say Furfura Kadimi Khanqah Sharif To know the history of this Furfura Sharif, we have to go further back in time to the Sultanate of Bengal.

The Sultan of Bengal was Shamsuddin Firuz Shah in 1298 AD His general Zafar Khan was killed by the Hindu king of Bengal He captured Pandua and Saptagram and later became known as Zafar Khan Ghazi The Sultan's army was accompanied by a group of Islamists, including Maulanas and Sufis.

They asked the infidels to convert to Islam, otherwise they encouraged the Sultan to invade the infidel state This was the case with Balia Basanti At that time, Balia Basanti was a small Hindu kingdom It was the capital of the kingdom and had a garh (cantonment) alongside The area is still known to the common people as "Bagdi Raja's Garh.

" There is also a pond named after the king, Chandrapukur.

Nearby was the temple of Maa Kali, the king's goddess of pleasure The temple no longer exists, but the Kalipujo of the Bagdi king is there The descendants of the Bagdi king's subjects still perform that Kalipujo and it is known to the local people as "Dhada Maa Pujo " The name ".

Dhada" associated with the worship of Chandrapukur and Dhada Maa, the local people say, was Chandranath Dhada But many people also call the king Chandramohan The king was a matrabhak, devout devotee of Dev-Dwaja and a guest of Vatsal After bathing in the Chandrapukur daily, the temple worshipped Maa Kali, the goddess of pleasure.
Sultan Shamsuddin Firuz Shah was a Sufi devotee, whose name was Hazrat Shafiuddin Shaheed alias Shah Sufi Sultan The Sultan also followed the example of another Sufi saint, Syed Hussain Bukhari These two men could not convert the Hindu king of Balia Basanti to Islam and thus provoked the Sultan to invade the kingdom.

Thus, in 1298, the Sultanate was invaded by the Bagdi king of Balia Basanti, led by Zafar Khan and Syed Hussain Bukhari.
At first they camped near the king's fort They thought that the king would accept Islam out of fear But it did not In the morning, Raja Chandra counterattacked the Zafar army The Sultan army retreated after the Bagdi king's troops The next day, the battle was fought again Raja Chandra put more soldiers into the battle.

On the second day, Shah Suleiman died along with many Sultan soldiers Shah Sufi Sultan's favorite warrior died in the battle.
On the third day, the Sultan's army adopted a new strategy They divided into two groups, one attacked and destroyed the Hindu villages around Balia Basanti The second group attacked the fort of Chandra Raja On the third day, the Sultan's army failed On the fourth day, Hazrat Shah Sufi, on the advice of the Sultan, entered the fort of Chandra Raja in the guise of a Hindu monk.

No one blocked his way after seeing the Hindu monk The disguised Sayyid Hussain Bukhari entered the fort and noticed that the Garh pond had a strange power Bathing in the water of this pond cured the fatigue of the soldiers, healed the wounds of the body and made the soldiers strong.
Syed Hussain Bukhari tried to destroy this pond of Chandra Raja The next day, he again appeared in the guise of a Hindu monk, and took a piece of banned beef with him This time he sat on a tree on the bank of the pond and started chanting garlands.

On receiving this news, Raja Chandra ordered his soldiers to serve the monk The fruits came, but the "sannyasi" did not accept them Raja Chandra rushed in He asked the reason.
The "sannyasi" said that he was tired of the hard work He had not bathed for a long time He wanted to bathe in the pond At the behest of the Chandra king, his soldiers took the "sanyasi" to bathe in the pond in his honour And as soon as he got down into the pond, the disguised sanyasi threw away the piece of beef he had with him.

Then he ate the food offered by the king and left On the fifth day, the battle resumed Many soldiers from both sides were injured After the battle, the Chandra king's soldiers went to the Garh-pond to bathe.
But what is this? The soldiers saw the forbidden beef floating in the pond Seeing this scene, the soldiers went back without bathing there And as soon as the news spread, the soldiers were disappointed The battle resumed on the morning of the sixth day The disaster was caused by Chandra Raja.

The king of Bankura Bishnupur was a friend of Chandra Raja Raja Chandra marched towards his friend's kingdom with some loyal soldiers But he was pursued by four cavalrymen of the Sultan's army - Hazrat Shah Syed Khairur Rahman, Hazrat Shah Syed Taribar Rahman, Hazrat Shah Syed Abdur Rahman and Hazrat Shah Syed Faizur Rahman.
Early in the morning, Chandra Raja met the four horsemen of the Sultan's army on the road at Kagmari village A fierce fight ensued, and the four Sultan fighters died on the spot Later, the bodies of the four were brought to Balia Basanti and buried Their graveyard became known as Ganje Shuhada.

Another name for Ganje Shuhada is Purfrah Pur means "full," and Farah means "joy " Many believe that the word " Furfura" comes from "Purfrah " Others say " Furfura" means "splendid joy " Others say " Furfura" means "swift " This is the name by which Muslim rule was established quickly.
However, since then, the Hindu Bagdi-born Chandra Raja of Balia Basanti has been replaced by Islamic rule Later, the Furfura Sharif was built here The Urs Mela of Dada Pir is held every year on 21, 22 and 23 February in Furfura Sharif This "Dada Pir" or "Dada Huzur" was Muhammad Abu Bakr Siddiqi, a descendant of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiqi, the first caliph of Prophet Muhammad.

One of the figures of the Sultanate army led by Hazrat Shah Hussain Bukhari to oust the Bagdi Raja of Balia Basanti was Hazrat Maulana Mansur Baghdadi, the ancestor of Muhammad Abu Bakr Siddiqi, known as "Dada Huzur ".
Grandfather Huzur was born in 1846 in Furfura Sharif He was only 9 years old when his father died He was admitted to English school Later he learned Arabic and Persian Attracted by his popularity, political leaders like Fazlul Huq and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad came to Furfura Sharif Once Gandhiji also came.

He tried to remove various superstitions prevalent in Muslim society and for this he had arguments with various maulanas and maulvis.
On 17 March 1939, Dada Huzur died He created a non-political organisation called the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind Dada Huzur also wanted a united India He said that the British Raj was a tree with three roots - Hindu, Muslim and Christian Hence, all three roots should be given equal importance He is also known to have met Lord Mountbatten with this proposal.

However, the partition took place in 1940 He did not like Jinnah in the end, despite his association with the Muslim League.
It is also known that the ancestors of Hazrat Pir Abu Bakar Siddiqi came to this country during the reign of Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban, the latter history is discussed at the beginning.
