Zainuddin ( Bengali: জৈনুদ্দীন or জএনুদ্দিন) was a medieval Bengali poet of the 15th century. He was under the patronage of Prince Yusuf Khan, who would later become the Sultan of Bengal. [1]
Zainuddin was born into a Bengali Muslim family in the 15th century. His father, Moinuddin, claimed descent from Abu Bakr, a companion of Muhammad and the inaugural Rashidun Caliph. Zainuddin was a Sufi murid, and his pir was Shah Muhammad Khan.
Between 1472 and 1473, Zainuddin composed a fictional tale titled Rasul Bijay, the source of which is said to have been a novel in the Persian language. Its plot consisted of a war in which Jaikum, a fictional king of Iraq, was defeated by the Muslims who were led by Muhammad.
