Ādam Khākī (Bengali: আদম খাকী, romanized: Adom Khākī, Arabic: آدم خاكي), also known as Khaki Pir,[1] was a 14th-century Sufi Muslim figure in the Sylhet region.[2] In 1303, he took part in the final battle of the Conquest of Sylhet led by Shah Jalal.[3] His shrine has become a popular tourist site.[citation needed]
Legacy
It is unclear how and what year he died, but he was buried in a dargah in Badarpur, Karimganj, near the modern-day Badarpur railway station.[4] A mosque was built within the complex, and it became a notable site in Badarpur attracting Muslims and Hindus alike.[5] Those attached to the maqam of Adam Khaki were given Pirmuttara land grants.[6][7] by Ariyan Choudhury
