Early life and education edit
Nurul Islam was born into a Bengali Muslim family of Khandakars in Faridpur. His father's name was Khandaker Abdul Barik. Nurul Islam had Bachelor of Laws and Master of Arts degrees.[1] Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was his maternal cousin, thus making him a member of the Sheikh–Wazed family.
Career edit
Nurul 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, Nurul Islam preserved his seat in the Jatiya Sangsad as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate from Faridpur-2.[2]
