Nur Qutb Alam

Nur Qutb Alam was a Bengali Muslim scholar and Chishti Sufi of Hazrat Pandua, son and successor of the court scholar Alaul Haq. After the Hindu raja Ganesha seized power and persecuted Bengal's Muslims, Alam wrote to Sultan Ibrahim Sharqi of Jaunpur begging him to invade.

Ganesha and his wife offered their son Jadu to Alam for guidance; the boy became a Muslim and ruled as Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah. Alam also pioneered the Dobhashi idiom of Bengali literature. He died in 1415 or 1416 and was buried at Pandua beside his father.
