I met an uncle at a masjid in the East London area. He asked me where I was from, and I told him I’m Sylheti. He smiled and said, “Yeah, most people in the UK are from Sylhet. You guys are amazing and have been connected to dawah since Hazrat ShahJalal (R) came to Sylhet.” He added, “Look, Allah blessed you guys, which is why He sent ShahJalal (R) to Sylhet and not to other places in Bangladesh.” He advised me to stay connected with dawah and to give dawah as much as possible. I replied, ان شاء الله , I will try my best. He was an amazing person, Allahumma Barik. I still miss him. May Allah bless him and his family ❤
Why did you say you are Sylheti not Bangladeshi? Do you guys not consider yourslef Bangladeshi? Do you guys not consider Bangladesh your country? Please, answer.
@@SanzanMahmudZisanJomadar السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته, my dear brother, I realized that he was Bangladeshi. So, when he asked me where I am from, I told him I’m Sylheti. If a non-Bangladeshi asks me the same question, I tell them I’m Bangladeshi. By the way, we Sylhetis have our own language, so we can proudly say that we are Sylheti. I saw a news that Google is planning to add the Sylheti language to Google Translate. Thank you for your question!
@@MustafizurMahdi Then It's acceptable. In Bangladesh there are multiple different languages not just Sylheti. There is language which is only spoken by 12 people and on the brink of extinction. Bangladesh has 70 ethnicity besides Bangali. In Chittagong hill there are 17 ethnic tribe. So, i don't know why someone does not want to consider themself Bangladeshi.🙄 People of Bangladesh should refer themself as Bangladeshi Sylheti, Bangladeshi Chakma, Bangladeshi Bihari, Bangladeshi Bangali e.t.c. For example we are Bangali. But we would never refer to ourself as Bangali outside. People of West Bengal are also Bangali. They are Indian,.we are Bangladeshi.
@@SanzanMahmudZisanJomadarSylheti is our nationality and Bangladesh is our country... so, we are Sylheti Bangladeshi. Same here we say Pakistani Pathan..
First, well done to this brother whose name is Dilly, for this comprehensive documentary on Sylhet. I was born in the UK in 1962 and lived there for most of my life. My dad had come to the UK in 1957; my mum in 1961. So, my family have lived in the UK for many Decades. In 2015 I took the monumental step of deciding to retire in Sylhet at my ancestral home. At the time I was ridiculed by my friends and family asserting that it would be impossible to settle back home. Well I have proven everyone wrong; I am still here and have no regrets. I thank this young brother Dilly for inspiring others like me, not to lose our roots, culture and identity. Thank you. Moinul
As a kashmiri who studied in Bangladesh we had our batch tour to Sylhet, i feel nostalgia seeing brother dilly going to same places we went to., i can even remember the restaurant he went to panchi it is called..i miss Bangladesh.. Allah bless you all
proud of you brother. I watched your interview with P. Morgan. And was amazed by your intellectual ability. Never thought you are a British Bangladeshi. Proud as a Syloti also.
As a Pakistani abroad, I am very inspired by this documentary and history and reconnection to your homeland. It makes me want to do the same with Pakistan and encourage those around me as well to do the same. Reclaim or heritage and reconnect the Ummah’s memories as Sami Hamdi said
So emotional. I really liked this video and you literally exposed what shuonislamiya has been saying to the islamic diaspora in Arabic. As a Morocan who grew up in Spain I second your words, sometimes children of inmigrants say that we are from two worlds without a country but that's not completely true, we will never be accepted in kaffir zionist ruled western countries, even if your country is the worst at least you are not a foreigner and can practice islam freely without being judged just for existing. Long live Bangladesh and its people!!!
Today Saudi and Arabs leaders have betrayed the Muslims and Palestinians; Gaza has proved it, the People and leaders are the same and deserve each other all are traitors and cowards.
Honestly, at first I thought that Dilly Hussain is a British Pakistani. I'm glad to hear that he's a Sylheti, a person of my own region. Lots of love & respect for this man..... ❤❤❤❤
Sylhet is one of the regions where, in 1947, people had the chance to vote on whether to join Pakistan or India. The majority voted to join Pakistan, which later became Bangladesh.
Thank you so much Dilly for making this film and your message at the end. I'm exhausted telling my cousins and bengali friends to visit Bangladesh and not forget about their roots. They are all white washed and far too comfortable in the UK. Me on the other hand i'm in love with Bangladesh's raw beauty. After spending a week or two in the city I like to spend my time in the village.
Please keep Bangladesh clean. It's such a beautiful country. Bangladeshi's are the most hospitable people. They know how to look after their guest. Hope to visit one day.
You know I am from Silchar (barak valley) and we r proud to be the native sylheti speaking people my love and compassion toward the people of sylhet province is way more than word and i respect it. The initiative for recognizing sylheti language is must, ❤ . As s sylheti Shob bala takiyo Allah hafiz.

Sylhet, in turn, remains a symbol of cultural pride and a homeland for British Bangladeshis, continuing to shape its diaspora’s identity and aspirations.
Ameen, brother! Your sentiment is truly heartwarming and a testament to the beauty of the ummah when we come together as one. Islam unites us beyond borders, cultures, and languages, and your words are a perfect example of this unity. May Allah (SWT) continue to bless you and your Bangladeshi brothers and sisters with love, trust, and unwavering faith. May this bond inspire others to appreciate and celebrate the beauty of diversity in our deen. JazakAllah khair for sharing this message of love and unity-it’s a reminder of the power of brotherhood in Islam. May Allah grant you and your best friend, Mr. Riad Islam, endless blessings. Ameen!
I'm glad you are making content about the Muslim world a lot more now. It tends to reflect the reality on the ground and helps give some perspective to the diaspora with regards to where should their focus be. We often get distracted with the false notion that focusing on local politics in the west is some kind of great service bcz that is the best we can do. Our actions should instead be centered around the heart of ummah back home where it can actually amount to some substantial results on the ground, bcz what happens there affect's us in the west it is not vice versa.
Just few days ago I thought you might be Pakistani but You're from Bangladesh & sylheti 😅 I love your work brother & I'm so proud of you that what you're doing for the Muslim ummah through your channel is outstanding. I got lots of insight from you. Keep up the good work. May Allah give you barakah on your efforts. Jazakallah khair
Thank you Dilly for making this documentary. I moved to Sylhet at 11 go go to school. This is the only documentary that summarises everything you need to know about Syhlet in a nutshell. By the way, I loved your interview with Piers Morgan. You decimated his arguments with your intellectual acumen 🙏
What!!! He is a Bengali! I am a Bengali too. I thought he is a Pakistani. I visited Sylhet and I saw that the Sylheti people are the most pious and humble people in Bangladesh. They are very, very soft and kind-hearted. And welcome to your motherland.
Totally agree with your message at the end that we british Bangladeshis should give something back to bangladesh our ancestral homeland. I lived in sylhet for a few years and one issue that really needs addressing in sylhet is the regular flooding of the region that destroys peoples lives year in year out! I am sure if people got together we could do something to resolve this problem. Politicians are too busy filling their pockets and don't give 2 hoots about the suffering of the people. One thing I have to say about the people living sylhet and those who face these floods every year is how strong their resilience is I was amazed at how they just got on with life even after their livelihoods got destroyed they just get up and start all over again ! I really hope something can be done to improve the lives of these people 🤲🏽
Brother Dilly i am also from the sheikh ancestry never knew what it meant till today, thank you for this inspiring video and reigniting the love for our ancestral lands
what most people don't know(& realize ) that one third of syleth is with India , in state of Assam , nearly 5 million sylethi live here (both hindu & muslim in nearly equal proportion) partition divided us politically but religious , linguistic & cultural connection remains strong . the influence here is so much that , people above 40-50 consume mostly bangladeshi sylethi content on facebook , YT .
Very interesting. My ancestor Badruddin Badr e Alam Zahidi was one of the Sufi Saints from Bihar to settle in Chittagong for a while spreading Islam in the 15th century.
Assalamualaikum o rahmatulla, thank you bhai for making this historical programme it’s so beautiful, and understandable l living in London city over 50 years. Iam from abdal pur next to faridpur sylhet. I like to words with you InsaAllah my name is basir❤❤❤
My dear friend, The actual connection between Sylhet and Great Britain were two. Tea plantations and Soldiers. During the two great wars WW I, & WWII, Sylhet was an integral part of Assam. From the Assam region thousands of Soldiers were recruited who went off to fight in Europe and elsewhere for the British Raj. After the wars many of the soldiers remained behind in Great Britain. Thus began the 'peoples' connection between Sylhet (Assam) region and Britain. Tea, one of the most important commodity coming to Britain from British India (from Sylhet & Assam region) ..helped create or eased the acceptability of these people settling there...slowly more and more family members (and others) started immigrating from the Sylhet region to Great Britain developing a very healthy Sylheti community in the British Isles. Similarly, same thing happened with the Punjab region through their Military connections with GB. The Gujarati community in GB, mainly came from Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
My dad gave soooo much to Bangladesh but he has been sold out by his own family he eventually passed away(may Allah have mercy upon him) everything he had has been taken when I was young. Bangladesh has disowned me ...I'm not saying do not invest or go back but do be careful with whom you help and never let it out of control of your offspring.
It’s not about who loves Islam more , it’s who really follows Rasollah Sallahu Aleihi wa Salam … sahaba and 3 first generations after Prophet Sallahu Aleihi wa Salam
Just want to echo on Dilly’s advice, us expats shouldn’t consider visiting Bangladesh but rather make it an obligatory. I say this based on my personal experience, I visited Bangladesh in 1989 and 1995, post that I had a 24 year gap til my next visit in 2019, since that visit, I’ve had 5 further visit and can’t wait for the next one. It’s not only about reconnecting but rather not losing identity. The early visits in my life shaped my identity for the future years. Just like us our children cannot lose this important part of their identity. It’s vital we visit relatives, especially those less fortunate and provide assistance where we can, had it not been for our fathers and forefathers we could’ve been in that same circumstance. So please brothers, sisters, aunties and uncles visit Bangladesh, let bygones be bygones and visit the motherland In’sha’Allaah
I’m a British Bangladeshi, I love my home country and agree that we should reconnect and give back to BD. However things need to change, the corruption, social inequality/rich and poor divide, sexism and nepotism is rife. Just the other day a 5 year old was murdered by her female teachers in school? People can bribe the police instead of facing proper justice. How could we go back to a country where such injustices and unfairness exist. It’s dangerous to even think about going out alone after dark as a female. The generational trauma in many people also contribute to social issues. The country needs to address these issues and start acting if they want to see real change, because for Bangladeshis abroad it is inhabitable for a permanent stay. This is the same for the entire subcontinent.
Be grateful, patient and have tawwakul in Allah SWT. In any case, at least you have your own country. Look at how the Muslims in India are oppressed. Pakistan is worse than Bangladesh. Afghanistan is worse than Pakistan and people of Gaza and Xinjiang are suffering even more.
The sister made a very valid point. I wonder why we need to consider the suffering of other countries in this discussion; their suffering is certainly valid. However, we can all work together to strive for a better world for everyone.

I loved it thank you dilli vai. Want more this kinda videos.. I am watching from Portugal.. Best channel 5 pillers. Go ahead❤
This video is truly remarkable, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the series he’s producing about Bangladesh in the wake of the recent political upheavals. The series offers unique perspective and valuable insights. On a side note, I never understood Dilly's conflict with Mehadi Hassan, especially since they are both Muslims. As a marginalized community, it’s perplexing to see such division. Mehadi appears to be one of the few who can present the truth to the world. It doesn’t make sense to me; we should support each other instead of tearing each other down, especially because we share the same faith. It’s crucial for us to stand united, particularly when there are so few voices willing to uphold the truth for everyone to hear. As Muslims, we need to produce many more journalists, and as a community, we need unity and support so that we can build a better future for everyone.
I love Sylhet City and the Sylheti people. However, it saddens me that some Sylhetis living in the UK harbor a racist and shallow mindset toward those who are not Sylheti. To them, we are just "Abadi"! We are from the same country and share the same Muslim faith. Let's focus on spreading positivity instead. ♥
There are more non-sylhety live in sylhet than the Sylhety! They work and do business there and send money to their families. They engage in criminal activities too.
Thank you brother for your dedication to expose sylhet to the eye of the world. People from sylhet are lucky enough just because of direct air travel to sylhet which people are living in USA faced difficulties to travel in sylhet due to direct flights from USA . I love my sylhet, the purified land of Hazrat shahjalal. Expecting when I have privilege to travel via firect flight from Nyc to Bangladesh like a dream . Thank you again for your dedication,
The best video for a sylhety origin people. Specially current generations who are living outside Bangladesh, You can learn about your origin in deltails. how islam came into sylhet, British colonialism and lots of thing. I want you to watch as sylhety.
Great 👍 to see the Bangladesh Diaspora have not forgotten their ancestral roots and have made solid contributions to their regional country of origin 🎉👏

Didn't know u were from here and has so much knowledge about everything including language and culture. Truly amazed
My dear friend,
The actual connection between Sylhet and Great Britain were two. Tea plantations and Soldiers. During the two great wars WW I, & WWII, Sylhet was an integral part of Assam. From the Assam region thousands of Soldiers were recruited who went off to fight in Europe and elsewhere for the British Raj. After the wars many of the soldiers remained behind in Great Britain. Thus began the 'peoples' connection between Sylhet (Assam) region and Britain. Tea, one of the most important commodity coming to Britain from British India (from Sylhet & Assam region) ..helped create or eased the acceptability of these people settling there...slowly more and more family members (and others) started immigrating from the Sylhet region to Great Britain developing a very healthy Sylheti community in the British Isles. Similarly, same thing happened with the Punjab region through their Military connections with GB. The Gujarati community in GB, mainly came from Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
My dad gave soooo much to Bangladesh but he has been sold out by his own family he eventually passed away(may Allah have mercy upon him) everything he had has been taken when I was young. Bangladesh has disowned me ...I'm not saying do not invest or go back but do be careful with whom you help and never let it out of control of your offspring.
A common trend I see with people who give too much to Bangladesh and your family back home only uses you for money and not care about you

I’m a British Bangladeshi, I love my home country and agree that we should reconnect and give back to BD. However things need to change, the corruption, social inequality/rich and poor divide, sexism and nepotism is rife. Just the other day a 5 year old was murdered by her female teachers in school? People can bribe the police instead of facing proper justice. How could we go back to a country where such injustices and unfairness exist. It’s dangerous to even think about going out alone after dark as a female. The generational trauma in many people also contribute to social issues. The country needs to address these issues and start acting if they want to see real change, because for Bangladeshis abroad it is inhabitable for a permanent stay. This is the same for the entire subcontinent.
Be grateful, patient and have tawwakul in Allah SWT. In any case, at least you have your own country. Look at how the Muslims in India are oppressed. Pakistan is worse than Bangladesh. Afghanistan is worse than Pakistan and people of Gaza and Xinjiang are suffering even more.
The sister made a very valid point. I wonder why we need to consider the suffering of other countries in this discussion; their suffering is certainly valid. However, we can all work together to strive for a better world for everyone.
I am Pakistani Love Bangladeshi brother.
Amazing video please make more like this !
MashaAllah tabarakAllah jazakhAllah khayran
Beautifully narrated as one would expect from shaykh Dilly Hussain.
Smashed it 👏
I didn’t know he can speak bangla and he is from Sylhet.... Proud to be have you from our country😊
Same here, I got shocked
@@jeshanzeshan9505 he speaks sylheti

@gtr8005 many sylhetis consider their dialect an independent language
Beautifully presented and thoughtful message.
Love from Mymensingh BD. Salam

Thank you dear brother,you represented some crucial parts of our sylhet that make us proud.your documantory also was accurate and truth.good job. ❤
Fantastic work Dilly bhai. Please do more videos about Sylhet.
The best video i have ever watched❤️. I learned about my origin in deltails. Learned how islam came into sylhet and lots of thing. I could have watched a 5 day long video like this. I loved it thank you dilli vai. Want more this kinda videos.. I am watching from Portugal.. Best channel 5 pillers. Go ahead❤
Amazing history very insightful. Thank you.
thanks for this awesome insight!
This video is truly remarkable, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the series he’s producing about Bangladesh in the wake of the recent political upheavals. The series offers unique perspective and valuable insights.
On a side note, I never understood Dilly's conflict with Mehadi Hassan, especially since they are both Muslims. As a marginalized community, it’s perplexing to see such division. Mehadi appears to be one of the few who can present the truth to the world. It doesn’t make sense to me; we should support each other instead of tearing each other down, especially because we share the same faith.
It’s crucial for us to stand united, particularly when there are so few voices willing to uphold the truth for everyone to hear. As Muslims, we need to produce many more journalists, and as a community, we need unity and support so that we can build a better future for everyone.
I love Sylhet City and the Sylheti people. However, it saddens me that some Sylhetis living in the UK harbor a racist and shallow mindset toward those who are not Sylheti. To them, we are just "Abadi"! We are from the same country and share the same Muslim faith. Let's focus on spreading positivity instead. ♥
Yep😢
We❤️Abadis, too. 😁
Right @@MnM_CuteCatClips
There are more non-sylhety live in sylhet than the Sylhety! They work and do business there and send money to their families. They engage in criminal activities too.
do we call your language "o-shuddo"? take a good look at that mirror.
Amazing video bro...we need more to keep us in touch with our culture
Very informative 👍. Many thanks for making such content 💖.
Well done documentary, loved it!

Thank you brother for your dedication to expose sylhet to the eye of the world.
People from sylhet are lucky enough just because of direct air travel to sylhet which people are living in USA faced difficulties to travel in sylhet due to direct flights from USA .
I love my sylhet, the purified land of Hazrat shahjalal. Expecting when I have privilege to travel via firect flight from Nyc to Bangladesh like a dream .
Thank you again for your dedication,
Big up to the editors
MashaAllah I've learned so many new stuff bro and Keep up the good work. Also being a bedfordian never seen you speak bangla so well. Good luck
Great documentary !
You're doing great work Dilly. Wonderful video and series in Bangladesh.
The best video for a sylhety origin people. Specially current generations who are living outside Bangladesh, You can learn about your origin in deltails. how islam came into sylhet, British colonialism and lots of thing. I want you to watch as sylhety.
Great 👍 to see the Bangladesh Diaspora have not forgotten their ancestral roots and have made solid contributions to their regional country of origin 🎉👏
Great video, i went back home earlier this year after 20 years! Loved it. We still have a long way to go though to compete with the likes of Malaysia etc
