According to the information provided on Dewanbagh Darbar Sharif’s website, Dewanbagi Pir’s name is Mahbub-e-Khoda. However, he is known as ‘Dewanbagi’. He was born on December 14, 1949 in the Bahadurpur village of Ashuganj upazila in Brahmanbaria. His father’s name was Syed Abdur Rashid Sardar. Mother Syeda Jobeda Khatun. He is the youngest of six brothers and two sisters. He studied from Karimia Alia Madrasa in Talshahar to Fazil.
Dewanbagi Pir received the bayat from Abul Fazal Sultan Ahmed Chandrapuri, the founder of Chandrapara Darbar in Faridpur. Dewanbagi later married his daughter Hamida Begum. Because of this, he obtained the caliphate from his father-in-law.
Soon after, he built a dormitory at Dewanbagh in Narayanganj and introduced himself as the Sufi emperor Mahbub-e-Khoda. Little by little, his followers continue to grow. At one point, Dewanbagi was operating at 147 Arambagh in Motijheel with a permanent court.
