Mawlana Murad (Arabic: مولانا مراد, Bengali: মাওলানা মুরাদ) was an Islamic scholar and teacher based in the city of Mecca in Ottoman Arabia.[2]
Biography[]
Murad was born in the 1700s in Bengal. Following the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and the subsequent rise in British colonial authority, some Bengali Muslims such as Murad had become so concerned that they made the decision to emigrate to Muslim lands such as the Ottoman Empire.[3]
Murad settled in the city of Mecca in the 18th century and became recognised as a knowledgeable Islamic scholar,[4] which is why he was referred to with the honorific prefix of Mawlana.[5]
In 1799, a group of Bengalis, including Basharat Ali and 18-year old Shariatullah Taluqdar, migrated to Mecca and were offered accommodation in Murad's residence.[6] Murad taught fiqh, Arabic literature,[7] and the history of Islam to Shariatullah for two years.[8]
