Baba Adam's Mosque and Shrine There is a six-domed mosque of the Sultanate period in Kazi Kasba village near the famous Rampal village of Bikrampur. There is a shrine a few yards to the east. The tomb is a paved mausoleum on a square platform of 25 (twenty-five) feet square arms.
The mosque is established on a rectangular foundation land. It is 43 feet north-south and 36 feet east-west. Four octagonal towers at the four corners. The minaret did not rise to the roof cornice. Step by step the minaret has decorative work in the cold line of the manaram ring.
There are three semicircular concave arches on the west wall. The back wall of the central arch rises outwards. The three rectangular entrances with arched arches on the front walls have exquisite carvings at the top. Deep flat niches on either side of the main entrance. The surface is nicely grooved. There are hanging chains and bell ornaments. There is no verandah in the mosque. Inside there are two pillars made of granite stone.
The interior is divided into two rows on the east-west and three rows on the north-south by these two pillars. The two fibers are octagonal from the middle to 4 (four) feet and then angular. On these two pillars and the surrounding walls are placed six semicircular small domes of the mosque.
Like the interior of the dome and the mosque, it is divided into two rows on the east-west and three on the north-south. The walls are a very thick main arch and the two arches on either side and the side walls are adorned with very beautiful terracotta plaques of herbs, geometric designs and galapflowers, hanging lamps and chains.
The exterior of the mosque, especially the front wall, was adorned with beautiful terracotta plaques. Some of the plaque work on either side of the central entrance is still visible. At one time, two pillars of the mosque were painted red by women of both Hindu and Muslim communities for taking vows.
The mosque we are talking about is the mosque of Dargabari or Baba Adam's Mosque and the shrine is known as Baba Adam's Dargah. There are many rumors about Baba Adam in Bikrampur. However, all the rumors are related to the war between Baba Adam and Ballal Sen.
The rumors are as follows: The mighty king Ballal Sen of Bikrampur was the Ghantar Tantric. He turned mosques into temples due to religious intolerance and forbade prayers at Bikrampur with cow slaughter and call to prayer. A Muslim from Kanaichang Math in Abdullahpur village near Rampal slaughtered a cow on the occasion of the birth of his son.
But unfortunately, a kite struck a piece of meat and threw it in the courtyard of Ballal Sen's palace. As a result, Ballal Sen became very angry and hired Guguchar to find Gae Hanta. Fearing torture, Ballali fled from Bikrampur and came to Makkah. At that time there was a fanatical fakir named Baba Adam in Makkah. The man took refuge in Baba Adam to remedy Ballali's torture.
The story of Muslim persecution by the pagan Ballal was told to the saint from beginning to end. At Bikrampur, Ballal must rescue them from the rule of the king. For this purpose he gathered 7 (seven) thousand soldiers in an instant and with this army he started a long journey from Mecca towards Bikrampur.
After winning many battles on the way, he and his army finally came to Dargabari on the outskirts of Rampal, the capital of Ballal Raja. He established a mosque here and named the mosque after himself, Baba Adam's Mosque. Baba Adam started performing Islamic rituals openly in the center of this mosque.
Many bulls and cows have to be slaughtered. Prayers begin with the call to prayer. The sound of this call to prayer also reaches the interior of Ballal Sen's palace. This enraged Ballal and he sent envoys to Baba Adam, the leader of the new Muslim army, with some demands.
The envoy came and said to Baba Adam, "Either leaves Bikrampur or be embarrassed by the anti-pagan rites." But the supernaturally powerful saint Baba Adam is not a chess piece in it. Convinced of the support of his innumerable fans, he sent an arrogant reply to the mighty Balal Sen.
He said, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) is His Messenger. No matter what the pagan Ballal Raja says or does, my support and mine will not stop me from observing our religious rites. " Forced by such an arrogant answer, he said that Sen had gathered troops and started a war against Baba Adam.
However, if the story of the victory and prowess of the Muslim army on the various battlefields was already known, he would make arrangements in advance so that he would not be captured by the enemy and lose his dignity. He took a dove with him and said that when the pigeon returned to Rajpuri alone, the queen and other members of the royal family would think that the king had been defeated and killed in battle.
And let them also sacrifice themselves in the fiery furnace to protect the nation. For this purpose, a fireplace was already lit in Rajpuri. A bloody battle took place in the field of Kanaichang, two miles from the capital Rampal, from dawn to dusk.
Balal Sen killed Baba Adam. He said that after winning the battle, the pigeon landed in the nearby water body to take care of the blood-stained body and reached Rajpuri by chance. And immediately the queen and the other members of the royal family, fearing the defeat and death of the king, surrendered in that fiery furnace.
Meanwhile, Ballal Sen also ran towards the capital Rampal from the battlefield as soon as the pigeons ran away. But already everyone is over. Unable to bear this shock, Raj also jumped on the same cheetah and sacrificed himself. As a result, Bikrampur fell into the hands of the Muslims. Martyr Baba Adam was buried a few yards before the mosque built by him. Since then the name of the mosque is Baba Adam's Mosque and the name of the tomb is Baba Adam's Dargah.
Another rumor goes like this: A Muslim from Kanaichang village slaughtered a cow on the occasion of the birth of his son and was subjected to unspeakable torture by Ballal Sen. With great difficulty, Ballali escaped from torture and took refuge in Makkah, one of Baba Adam's most powerful fakirs. To save the persecuted Muslims of Bikrampur, Baba Adam collected 6/7 thousand soldiers and marched from Mecca towards Bikrampur. After winning many battles on the way, they reached Bikrampur.
Ballal set up base at Dargabari near Rampal, the capital of the king. Father Adam slaughtered a cow and secretly left a piece of meat inside Ballal's palace. This made Ballal Raja very angry. The king sent Guchar to various places to find Gohanta. Shortly afterwards, Guchar returned with a gnashing of teeth, saying that a foreign Muslim army had set up camp nearby.
Their leader Baba Adam is praying in the Dargabari area near Rajprasad. King Ballal immediately mounted his horse and went to the place and saw Baba Adam still praying. In the twinkling of an eye, the king struck Adam on the neck with a sword. But what is surprising is that not a single hair was cut. Fakir also did not show any change of heart.
After finishing the prayers in peace, the saint said to the king, "Leave your sword and strike me on the neck with my sword." At the instruction of the saint, in the blink of an eye, the king split Baba Adam's head with a sword. But the cruel irony of fate was that the pigeons miraculously escaped from the cage and the king and members of the royal family sacrificed themselves in the fire immediately after the murder.
Meanwhile, a huge mosque was miraculously built overnight in the same place where Father Adam was praying at the time of his death, and his body was buried a few yards east of the mosque. Since then the name of the mosque is Baba Adam's Mosque and the name of the shrine is Baba Adam's Tomb. Another story is found in a Sanskrit verse book called "Ballal Charitam". The story is that there was an ancient Shivling called Ugra at Mahasthan on the shores of Kartaya. Shakti, Shaiva, Bainchab, Buddhists all used to worship Shiva in the temple.
The Rajpurohit had a dispute with the chief priest or mahant of the temple over the distribution of the items of worship. The mahanta expelled the rajpurohit from the temple. The leader took refuge in a fakir named Baba Adam and persuaded him to attack Bikrampur. Tell the buffalo and other members of the royal family that if the pigeon returns to Rajpuri alone, it must be understood that the king was defeated in the battle. Has been killed. Then they should jump into the fiery furnace and die in order to protect their own minds and religion.

Ballal after a fierce battle at Kanaichang ground
The king won. The Muslim army was defeated. Father Adam was killed by Ballal. But unfortunately, in a moment of dishonesty, the pigeon ran out of the cage and flew to the palace. When the courtiers saw the pigeons flying alone, they surrendered to the burning cheetah according to the previous system.
Meanwhile, the king ran towards the capital Rampal as soon as he saw the pigeons in the cage. When he reached the palace, he saw that it was already over. King Shake was overwhelmed with grief. That's when he remembered the curse of a yogi. According to another legend, there was a bloody battle on the field of Kanaichang.
Ballal Sen was killed in this battle. Fakir's army was victorious and as a result Muslim rule was permanently established at Bikrampur. Dr. James Wise also mentions this rumor. According to another legend, Ballal was defeated in a battle with Raja Fakir's army, but he was not killed.
When he was defeated, Allah sent him physically and superior to his family and as a result the dynasty of Ballal Raja perished. Beef slaughter on the occasion of Akika, the son of a Muslim living in the kingdom of a Hindu king A similar story is told about the conquest of Sylhet and Satgaon by the Muslims. Thus, it can be seen that the incarnation of such a story with the Muslim conquest is very common in different parts of Bangladesh.
Moreover, the whole matter is very enigmatic. 7/8 thousand foreign enemy troops came from distant Mecca and set up bases in secret places miles away from the capital's palaces and had to hire spies to find their location, the king had to go to fight against a small foreign fakir and was feared to be defeated and killed by the fakir.
This story is nothing but a cannabis story. The battle also took place a couple of miles from the palace. From there it would take only a few minutes to run to Rajpuri. But the king took the pigeon to fight in such a close place to take the result of the battle to Rajpuri through that pigeon and when the pigeon was released due to negligence, all the members jumped to the fire in Rajpuri before crossing this short distance and the king jumped in the same fire.
He gave up his life in the fall - this story can not be accepted as true at all. One copperplate and an inscription from the time of Ballal Sen, eight copperplates of Ballal Sen's son Lakshman Sen and copperplates of Lakshman Sen's sons Bishwarup Sen and Keshab Sen (all of which are provided from the established capital of Bikrampur).
After resigning, he died in his old age, handing over the reins of the kingdom to his son Lakshman Sen. Lakshman Sen was overthrown by Muslim general Bakhtiyar Khalji in 1203/1204 AD from North and North West Bengal and came to South East Bengal i.e. Bikrampur and died after ruling the state for 2/3 years. After his death, his two letters Bishwarup Sen and Keshab Sen ascended the throne of Bikrampur one after the other.
Together these two brothers ruled south-east Bengal centered on Bikrampur till at least 1230 AD. The contemporary Muslim historian Minhaj-Isiraj finished his book Takat-i-Nasiri (around 1280 AD) or at least when he came to Lakshmanavarti or Gaur to collect historical accounts of Bengal (around 1244-1245 AD).
Minhaj clearly mentions that he ruled in southeastern Bengal i.e. Bikrampur. Now the question is if all the family members of Ballal Sen have died in the fire and if the Muslim rule in Bikrampur has been established permanently with their so-called death, then how did the sons and grandsons of Ballal Sen rule in Bikrampur at least till 1245 AD? Laxman Sen's president Bhavadev Bhatta, Boi, Sharan Dutt, Joydev, Gabordhan, Umapatidhar, Halayudha Mishra, Purushottam, Ushan, Pashupati and other scholars wrote books on various subjects.
There is no hint in any of their writings about the war between Ballal Sen and the so-called Baba Adam or Baba Adam. Moreover, the contemporary Muslim historian Minhajuddin wrote "Bakat-i-Nasiri" which dates back to 1260 AD), Ziauddin Barani's "Tarikh-i-Biruj Shahi" * (which began around 127 AD or the Islamic "Natuhus") There is no trace of this so-called war or Baba Adam on the planet (although it was written around 1350 AD), but all of these historians were historians of the first Muslim expedition to Bengal and a collector of legends.
If such a great heroic event had taken place at Bikrampur with troops, then contemporary Muslim historians would have mentioned it on their own planet, why not such a sensational event is undoubtedly a matter of great pride for Muslims, but there is not the slightest hint of complete silence on their planet.
There is no evidence in history of any Muslim expedition to Bengal or Bikrampur before the conquest of Bengal by Muslim general Ikhtiyar Uddin Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji during the reign of Lakshman Sen, son of Sen Raja Ballal Sen.
Adam came from Mecca and built a mosque at Dargabari in Bikrampur Baba Adam built the mosque and named it after himself. We have seen a slightly different kind of information from another rumor. In it, Yuki's father Adam fights with Ballal Sen. Father Adam was killed in the battle. A mosque was miraculously built overnight at the exact spot where Father Adam was killed, and his body was miraculously buried a few yards from the mosque.
The name of the mosque is Baba Adam's Mosque and the name of the shrine is Baba Adam's Tomb. There is no plaque in the shrine. There is an identification plaque above the main entrance of the mosque. The inscription in the Tughra script shows that the mosque was built in 1473 AD. It is built by an owner or a government official named Kar.
The Bengali translation of the inscription is, "Allah Almighty says, 'Surely the mosque is Allah's property, do not associate anyone with Allah'." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever builds a mosque, Allaah will build a palace in heaven for him.
During the reign of Sultan Jalal Uddin Fateh Shah, the son of Sultan Muhammad Shah, the great owner of this mosque, Kafur, in the middle of the month of Rajab. The name of the founder is Kafur. It is named after his father as it was built during the reign of Sultan. Sultan Jalal Uddin Bateh Shah, the son of Sultana Muhammad Shah. The date of establishment is mid-Rajab month of Hijri. The name of the mosque is Jami Masjid. - To achieve full, that is, all the information about the construction of the mosque.
But there is no mention of the deceased father Adam, there is no mention of any shrine. In addition, Ballal Sen's war with his father Adam took place in the twelfth century because King Ballal was a man of the twelfth century.
The mosque was built in the late fifteenth century. That is, 300 (three hundred) years after the death of the deceased father Adam. If this mosque is built in the memory of a missionary heroic martyr 300 (three hundred) years ago and the mosque is named "Father Adam's Mosque" after that missionary martyr, then that name should be mentioned more importantly in the inscription than the name of the founder.
But there is no such name on the identity plate. So it is clear from this that Malik Kafur, the founder of this mosque, did not name this mosque "Baba Adam's Mosque".
