Qudrat played an important role in popularising Bengali for scientific practices. As such, he wrote a number of books on science and technology in Bengali including ''Bigganer Sarash Kahini'' (Interesting History of Science), ''Bigganer Bichitra Kahini'' (Wonderful History of Science), ''Bigganer Suchana'' (Origin of Science), ''Jaiba Rasayan'' (Organic Chemistry) in four volumes, ''Purba Pakistaner Shilpa Sambhabana'' (Industrial Potentiality of East Pakistan), ''Paramanu Parichiti'' (An Introduction to the Atom) and ''Bigganer Pahela Katha'' (First Word of Science). Two Bengali science magazines ''Purogami Biggan'' (Pioneering Science; 1963) and ''Bigganer Joyjatra'' (The Victory of Science; 1972) were published under his auspices. He also wrote some religious books including ''Pabitra Quraner Puti Kotha O Angari Jaoyara'' (The Holy Sayings of Quran and Angari Jaoyara). | Qudrat played an important role in popularising Bengali for scientific practices.
