Nabi Bangsha (1584) biographical poem about hazrat muhammad (Sm) by syed sultan of Patya, Chittagong. It is divided into two parts. The first part, 'Nabi Bangsha', describes the creation and lives of different mythological and historical personalities preceding Hazrat Muhammad (S). Apart from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and
Jesus Christ, the poet also describes Indian deities such as brahma, vishnu,
Rama, krishna etc.
The second part, 'Rasul Charita', narrates the life of
Hazrat Muhammad (Sm). Though the secular mentality of the poet is revealed
by his juxtaposition of Hindu gods and Muslim prophets, the author is
conscious of the superiority of Islam. This voluminous poem provides extensive
information about the customs and manners of the poet's time. [Badiuzzaman]
