Syed Sultan

Syed Sultan (Bengali: সৈয়দ সুলতান, Persian: سيد سلطان‎) was a medieval Bengali Muslim writer and epic poet. He is best known for his magnum opus, the Nabibangsha, which was one of the first translations of the Qisas Al-Anbiya into the Bengali language. His literary works have been included in the curriculum of school level, secondary, and higher secondary Bengali literature in Bangladesh. His origin is debated though most attribute his origin to Patiya in Chittagong. There are claims that he is the same person as a certain Syed Sultan from Taraf in Greater Sylhet, although this is highly unlikely due to the time periods.
