‘Abd al-Quddūs Jalāl ad-Dīn (Arabic: عبد القدوس جلال الدين), best known as Shah Makhdum (Bengali: শাহ মখদুম), and also known as Rupos, was a Sufi Muslim figure in Bangladesh. He is associated with the spread of Islam into the Varendra region of Bengal. He arrived in Bengal with his elder brother Syed Ahmad (Miran Shah) from Baghdad.
