Pir

1894, D. C. Baillie, Census of India, 1891, Volume 16, Part 1, North-Western Provinces and Oudh Government Press, page 217, The five Pirs are not the only Muhammadan martyrs who are worshipped.

A second attempt to explain the unique role of the pirs in Bengal was made by Eaton (1994).

Also I learned from the pirs (holy men) and mullahs that someday the entire world will be converted to Islam.
