Question: sylhet shaha-jahal
salams

i was told that in Bangladesh sperfically in sylhet shaha-jahal, it is known for a saint of some sort to have sailed the sea of bangal via prayer mats and that there is a famous foot print there.. and that they had married hindus thus making them to revert into Islam

theres a whole story but i thought it was a bit strange, as i had not heard this story mentioned in the Quran

i have though come across alot of Bengali`s who have this story fixcated in their mindset

please tell me wiether it is true or wiether it is a bidah so i may me able to claify the misconceptions

Jazarkhallahu Khayran

May ALLAH the most compassionate reward you abundantly

There is no authentic books regarding this but according to the beliefs of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah is that a Wali ullah (friend of Allah) could perform Karamat (Phenomena which happen beyond the laws of causation through the Awliya of the ummat). As Hazrat Shah Jalal (previous name, Jalal ad-Deen bin Mohammed), was a pious man and Wali of Allah.
