Ibrahim Malik Beya, belongs to [[Suhrawardiyya]] order. He came to India during the time of Sul-tan Muhammad Tughlaq and became commander-in-chief in 725 A.H. (1324 A.D.). The word Bayu' is the twisted from a Persian word *Beya' meaning "Come on.' Syed ibrahim, after his first victory over Bihar, went to inform the matter to Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq, who being pleased with his remarkable win said: "malik biya benashin' (O ChiefCome and Sit down). Malik was a title conferred on important personalities for remarkable work. Syed Ibrahim also got this title. With passage of time the term Beya was twisted and became Bayu.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hanif|first=N.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O3GXOqPa67MC&pg=PA160|title=Biographical Encyclopaedia of Sufis: South Asia|date=2000|publisher=Sarup & Sons | page=160 |isbn=978-81-7625-087-0|language=en}}</ref>

During the time of Sultan Tughlaq (1290 AD-1351 AD), even though the State of Bihar was under the control of [[Delhi]], for all practical purposes, its rulers were autonomous. The Sultan received numerous complaints against the Raja Bithal, the Governor (Subedar) of Bihar, who was not only a tyrant but also a rebel against the Sultan of Delhi.

The Sultan sent his general, Syed Ibrahim Malik, to punish Raja Bithal. After a fierce battle, the Raja was killed and his army was defeated. The conquest of Bihar was a remarkable achievement, and on this occasion, the Sultan conferred upon Syed Ibrahim Malik the title of "Madarul Mulk" means Malik or Saif-o-Daulat (Administrator and King of Sword and Wealth). It is recorded that the Sultan was so jubilant by this victory, that in his court he himself came down to receive and greet Syed Ibrahim Malik. After an exchange of greetings, Sultan Mohammad bin Tughlaq said to Syed Ibrahim Malik in Persian (the official language at the time) "Maliks Baya, Be-nashin" meaning "O King come and sit next to me" and led Syed Ibrahim Malik to his seat. The Sultan bestowed this great honor upon him. Since then, he was called "Maliks Baya". The Sultan appointed Syed Ibrahim Malik as the governor of the state of Bihar.
