The most ancient mark
of Muslim civilization of Vikrampur is the "Tetul
Tolar Mazar" in Boro Keora village under Munshiganj
district. This place is believed to be a very sacred
place from early days. There were about 12 graves
divided into two rows. Muslims used to perform various
religious practices like Milad, Zikr and recitation
from holy Quran at this place. The Mazar was renovated
in 1974. A stone was discovered at time of renovation
work. The stone was inscribed with names of 12 Muslim
clerics. The stone was also marked with "Kalema
Tayeba" and "Hizri 421" which means
the inscription of the stone dates back to 974 AD.
Munshiganj was then known as Vikrampur. The king
of Vikrampur during that time was Maharajadhiraj
Sree Chandra. This marks the evidence of prevalence
of Muslim community in Boro Keora village, a place
infested by Buddhists mainly. Since the renovatinon
in 1974, Tetul Tolar Mazar is now famous as "Baro
Aouliar mazar".

1) Shah Sultan Hossainy (R)
2) Sultan Sabbir Hossain (R)
3) Taqbeer Hashemee (R)
