**Nesaruddin Ahmad** ([Bengali](/source/Bengali_language): নেছারউদ্দীন আহমদ; 1873 – 31 January 1952) was a [Bengali](/source/Bengalis) [Islamic scholar](/source/Islamic_scholar), spiritual reformer, educationist and writer. He was the main [disciple](/source/Khalifah_(Sufism)) of [Furfura Sharif](/source/Furfura_Sharif)'s [Mohammad Abu Bakr Siddique](/source/Mohammad_Abu_Bakr_Siddique) in [eastern Bengal](/source/Bangladesh).[4] Ahmad was the inaugural **[Pir](/source/Pir_(Sufism)) of Sarsina** ([Bengali](/source/Bengali_language): শর্ষিণার পীর), having founded the Sarsina Darbar Sharif and [Darussunnat Kamil Madrasa](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Darussunnat_Kamil_Madrasa&action=edit&redlink=1) in 1915,[5] one of the largest Islamic institutions in [South Bengal](/source/South_Bengal) and the first major [alia madrasah](/source/Alia_madrasah) after [Calcutta](/source/Calcutta).[6] Ahmad was among the leading Islamic leaders in colonial Barisal,[7][8] and his influence extended across [Bengal](/source/Bengal).[9] The [Nesarabad Upazila](/source/Nesarabad_(Swarupkati)_Upazila) of [Bangladesh](/source/Bangladesh) has been named after him.[10]

## Early life and family

Ahmad was born in 1873 to a [Bengali Muslim](/source/Bengali_Muslim) family of [*Akhunds*](/source/Akhund) in the village of [Magura](/source/Nesarabad_(Swarupkati)_Upazila), [Firozpur](/source/Pirojpur_District), then located under the [Backergunge District](/source/Backergunge_District) of the [Bengal Presidency](/source/Bengal_Presidency). When he was twelve years old, his father, Sadruddin Akhund, decided to set off for the [Hajj](/source/Hajj) pilgrimage to [Arabia](/source/Arabia). Akhund was a *[murid](/source/Murid)* of Haji Saizuddin Miah of Bahadurpur. Before leaving, he married Ahmad to Sahera Khatun, the daughter of his neighbour Daliluddin Shiqdar. Ahmad's father died in [Mecca](/source/Mecca), being buried in [Jannat al-Mu'alla](/source/Jannat_al-Mu'alla), and so Ahmad was raised by his mother, Zohra Begum, and paternal grandfather.[11] His paternal grandfather, Zahiruddin Akhund, was a *[munshi](/source/Munshi)* and disciple of [Haji Shariatullah](/source/Haji_Shariatullah) of the [Faraizi movement](/source/Faraizi_movement) based in [Mathbaria](/source/Mathbaria_Upazila) where he had a sizeable following.[12]

In 1905, Ahmad married the daughter of Abdul Wafi Chowdhury from [Kushla](/source/Kotalipara_Upazila), [Gopalganj](/source/Gopalganj_District%2C_Bangladesh).[13]

## Career

After receiving *[khilafat](/source/Khalifah_(Sufism))* (spiritual succession) from his [murshid](/source/Murshid) Mohammad Abu Bakr Siddique, Ahmad returned to his village.[14] He planned to leave for [Hajj](/source/Hajj) but was affected by pox. As soon as he recovered in 1901, Ahmad boarded the ship to [Arabia](/source/Arabia) along with his family and nephew Abdur Rashid. His wife, Sahera Khatun, and son, Shah Muhammad Muzahar, died in [Mecca](/source/Mecca). After returning to Bengal, Ahmad dedicated himself to propagating Islamic teachings. In 1905, he built a small library in his village which became the Qiratiyyah Madrasah in 1913. In 1918, he decided to transform the library into a madrasa modelled from Calcutta Alia Madrasa. Ahmad named the madrasa "*Sarsina Darussunnat Kamil Alia Madrasa*".[15] From then on, the village of Magura got the name of Sarsina. He appointed Moulvi Mirza Ali of Idilpur as its head. Ahmad donated all of his property to act as the madrasa's [waqf](/source/Waqf) in 1934. With the assistance of Prime Minister [A. K. Fazlul Huq](/source/A._K._Fazlul_Huq), the madrasa became the second title madrasa of Bengal after Calcutta in 1938.[16]

Ahmad gave his support to [Maniruzzaman Islamabadi](/source/Maniruzzaman_Islamabadi)'s plans in establishing a dedicated [Islamic university](/source/Islamic_university) in [Chittagong](/source/Chittagong).[17]

### Political involvement

Ahmad was a supporter of the [Pakistan Movement](/source/Pakistan_Movement). He maintained good relations with [Shamsul Haque Faridpuri](/source/Shamsul_Haque_Faridpuri), who belonged to the [Deobandi movement](/source/Deobandi_movement).[18] He favoured Faridpuri over [Sheikh Mujibur Rahman](/source/Sheikh_Mujibur_Rahman) in the Muslim League local elections.[19] Ahmad sent a [telegram](/source/Telegram) to [Muhammad Ali Jinnah](/source/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah) requesting that he admits [A. K. Fazlul Huq](/source/A._K._Fazlul_Huq) back into the [All-India Muslim League](/source/All-India_Muslim_League) to ensure the League's victory in Barisal.[9] In 1946, Ahmad organised the All-India Ulama Conference held at Mohammad Ali Park, [Calcutta](/source/Calcutta). At the conference, Ahmad co-signed a petition with [Abdul Hai Siddique](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abdul_Hai_Siddique&action=edit&redlink=1) in pamphlet form addressing Bengali Muslim voters in favour of Pakistan.[20] During the [1947 Sylhet referendum](/source/1947_Sylhet_referendum), he sent an eight-member team (including Azizur Rahman Qaid Nesarabadi) to [Sylhet](/source/Sylhet) under the leadership of his son [Abu Zafar Mohammad Saleh](/source/Abu_Zafar_Mohammad_Saleh).[21][22]

After the independence of Pakistan, Ahmad focused on Islamic values within the government. An outline of 22 points was formulated at the All-Parties Ulama Conference in Sarsina.[11] Ahmad presided the East Bengal Horooful Quran Conference in [Dacca](/source/Dacca) in August 1951, which supported [Urdu](/source/Urdu) as the national language of Pakistan and [Bengali in Arabic script](/source/Bengali_language#Alternative_and_historic_scripts) as the provincial language.[23][24]

## Death and legacy
