The Shaikh, also known as Sheikhs, are a significant Muslim community in Bangladesh. Historically, the title "Shaikh" was given to those who were teachers or leaders in Islamic societies, and over time, it has become a common surname among Muslims in South Asia. The Shaikhs have a diverse background, with many claiming descent from Arab traders, Persian scholars, and Turkish conquerors who settled in the region centuries ago.

Much prayer is needed because the Shaikh see Christianity as an invading threat to their families and communities.

Pray for new Christ followers among the Shaikh. Pray for physical and spiritual protection for Shaikh followers of Jesus. Pray for effectiveness and fruitfulness in sowing God's word among Shaikh families leading to God's blessing spreading from household to household. Pray for many laborers to sow God's word among Shaikh households and extended families.
