Khwaja Enayetpuri Tariqah is one of the largest Sufi Orders in Bangladesh  established by Shah Sufi Hazrat Mawlana Khwaja Yunus Ali, popularly known as Khwaja Enayetpuri(r) in the 20th century. This Khaniqah located at Enayetpur in the district of Sirajganj represents mostly the Mujaddediya Tariqah though it is influenced by other Turuq (Orders)-—Naqshbandiya, Al-Qadiri, and Al-Chishti. Sufism or tasawwuf, since its institutionalized period in the 8th century,  is practised by a large Islamic community across the world, particularly those of the Indian subcontinent as a mystic path to the realization of practical, moral and spiritual ideals of life within the Islamic tradition. 

Born on 7 November 1886 in a village called Enayetpur in the district of Sirajgonj of greater Pabna in the then eastern Bengal, in what is now Bangladesh, Khwaja Enayetpuri established a Ṣūfī monastery (khaneqāh) in Enayetpur with a mammoth Ṣūfī legacy known as “Enayetpuri ṭariqāh” (Ṣūfī order). Located on the bank of the river Jamuna, about 130 km from the parliament building in Dhaka, the Enayetpur Ṣūfī monastery (also called Darbār Sharīf) is venerated and visited by millions of peace-loving people ranging from top-ranking public officials to pauper cultivators from across the country and Assam, India. 

Not only did he teach thousands of followers but he also guided a number of prominent proteges (murids) who later on set up individual khaneqāh (monasteries) in different places across the country and in Assam, India. Some large ones include Biswa Zaker Manzil  (World Zaker Centre) at Atrasi in Faridpur, Shambhuganj Darbar Sharif,  Paradisepara Darbar Sharif, Murshidpur Darbar Sharif, Chandrapara Darbar Sharif,  Khagjani Pak Darbar Sharif, Assam, India, to name but a few. All of these Sufi Monasteries observe the annual URS Sharif – Spiritual Gathering Commemorating Death Anniversary – of Shah Sufi Khwaja Enayetpuri.

Founder of Mujaddediya Sufi Tariqah in Bangladesh, the widely renowned Sufi saint Khwaja Enayetpuri of Enayetpur Darbar Sharif is one of the most successful and celebrated Sufis in Bangladesh and Assam in India. Needless to say, the Enayetpur Darbar Sharif  is so venerated that almost all classes of people from the highest rank to the poor day laborer visit it for spiritual renewal and for repentance against all sinful attachments to the world. His teachings are highly venerated and embraced by hundreds of thousands of people in this sub-continent. A documentary by popular filmmaker Rubayat Hossain on the Enayetpuri Tariqah has drawn the attention of the Western people lately.
