Khandaker Nurul Islam (Bengali: খন্দকার নুরুল ইসলাম; died 11 July 2001), also known by his daak naam Nuru Mia (Bengali: নুরু মিঞা), was a Bangladeshi politician and lawyer. He was a member of the country's first National Parliament as a member of the Awami League from the Faridpur-2 constituency.

Early life and education[edit | edit source]

Islam was born into a Bengali Muslim family of Khandakars in Faridpur. His father's name was Khandaker Abdul Barik. Islam's educational qualifications include a Bachelor of Laws and Master of Arts degree.[1]

Career[edit | edit source]

Islam contested in the 1970 Pakistani general election as an Awami League candidate, and successfully won a seat in the NE-106 (Dacca-III) constituency.[1] However, the assembly was not formed and later led to the Bangladesh Liberation War. During the first set of elections in the newly-established country in 1973, Islam preserved his seat in the Jatiya Sangsad as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate from Faridpur-2.[2]

Death and legacy[edit | edit source]

Islam died on 11 July 2001 in Bangladesh. He was married to Hasina Momtaz and their son, Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, is a parliamentarian and former minister. Their other son, Khandaker Mohtesham Hossain, is the chairman of the Faridpur Sadar Upazila Council.[3][4]
