Syed Sultan ( c. 1550 – 1648) was a medieval Bengali Muslim writer and poet. [1] He is best known for his magnum opus, the Nabibangsha (1584), which was one of the first translations of the Qisas Al-Anbiya into Bengali language. [2] [3] His literary works have been included in the curriculum of school level, secondary, and higher secondary Bengali literature in Bangladesh. There are claims that he is the same person as a certain Syed Sultan from Taraf in Greater Sylhet, although this is highly unlikely due to the time periods. [4]
Sultan lived in Habigonj Village Sultanshi Shaheb Bari in Habigonj and also in Sultanshi, Habigonj for a while. [1]
Sultan's complete work including Rasulcharita was published in a book form by the Bangla Academy in 1978. [1]
