One of the holiest places in Sylhet.
People travel from all over the country to Shahjalal and Shahporan Mazar.
I personally do nor support a Mazar culture.
However, Shahjalal offers the biggest prayer gathering in Sylhet.
Still worth a visit.
Please be aware as there are pickpocketers about.
And DO NOT buy any candles or 'Agar Batti' as they are resold over and over again. Only certain individuals benefit.

In 2018, our circle of friends went to Sylhet from Noakhali. We went in winter. At that time the environment was very cold. I went to Shahjalal Rahimahullah shrine first. Although everything is fine, it is sad to say that there are increasing numbers of marijuana addicts and pickpockets. I would like to draw the attention of all those in charge there, if these things are not brought under control, then we will have to face many bad situations in the future.
