Baba Fakhruddin Suharwardy was a Sufi saint who lived in the 12th century.

Before coming to Penukonda, he was a king of Sistan and Shahpur in Iran.^[1] His disciples knew him as a true follower of Islam who renounced the world for the sake of Allah. His Murshid (spiritual guide) was Tabr-e-Aalam Baadshah Nathar Vali, who himself was a king who also had renounced the world in a place called Tiruchirapalli (Tamil Nadu). After serving for several years at his Murshid's command, Baba Fakruddin left for Penukonda in order to preach also his dargah is located in ajilamogaru.^{[citation needed]}

He is commonly known as Babaiah in India and his name has been taken by many men over the centuries due to a widespread popular respect for his legend. Today, his mausoleum is located in Penukonda, Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India.
