Biography

Syed Rayhan ad-Din was born into the Bengali Muslim Syed family of Taraf, in the village of Poil. The family was founded by Syed Nasiruddin, a 14th-century military commander who led the Muslim conquest of Taraf. As a result, Taraf had been transformed to a renowned centre of Islamic education in the subcontinent during the medieval period.[3]

Rayhan wrote in the Persian language,[4] and among his prominent works is Khawābnāma (خوابنامه).[5] He also wrote his own version of the Masnavī-e-Gul-e-Bakāwalī (مثنوى گل بکاولی).[6]
