Allama Mujahid Uddin Chowdhury Dubagi Saheb (R.H.) went to Britain for permanent residence on January 1, 1978 for the great purpose of promoting Deen Islam and serving the religion in knowledge.

He became the revered teacher of scholars of all faiths and paths. Gradually his popularity spread to the whole world. It should be noted that Allama Dubagi Saheb was the first Alim Deen of Jainpuri-Phultali ideology in UK. He was the first to establish Maslak.

In Britain, he was a policy maker of flowery spices. So because of Dubagi Saheb, Leicester was the headquarters or main center of Machlak. It was in this Leicester that Fultali Saheb first traveled and stayed. And at first there was also a plan to establish Machalki Mosque Madrasa. Later London was chosen as the establishment of city-centred mosque-madrasas was more important. Later Dubagi Saheb also moved to London.

Incidentally, in Britain then all activities of Machalak were managed through Dubagi Saheb (RA).

The wonderful contribution he has made in the field of Khidmat of Ilm Deen, Ilm Shariat, Ilm Marifat and Khidme Khalq etc. deserves to be discussed in detail.

The special mercy of Allah is showered on the discussion of the biography of a saint. And Allama Dubagi Saheb (RA)Kamil was not only a saint but also a brilliant astrologer of Shariah-Marifat and a successful figure in the service of Deen Islam. He went to the presence of Mawlaye Haqiqi Rafique A'Allah to recite Surah Yasin and Kalima on the eve of Jummah on Friday 10 July 2020 at the age of 91 at the Wipcross Hospital, London, while undergoing treatment for old age.
