Nesaruddin Ahmad (Bengali: নেছারউদ্দীন আহমদ; 1873 – 31 January 1952) was a Bengali Islamic scholar, spiritual reformer, educationist and writer. He was the main disciple of Furfura Sharif's Mohammad Abu Bakr Siddique in eastern Bengal.[4] Ahmad was the inaugural Pir of Sarsina (Bengali: শর্ষিণার পীর), having founded the Sarsina Darbar Sharif and Darussunnat Kamil Madrasa in 1915,[5] one of the largest Islamic institutions in South Bengal and the first major alia madrasah after Calcutta.[6] Ahmad was among the leading Islamic leaders in colonial Barisal,[7][8] and his influence extended across Bengal.[9] The Nesarabad Upazila of Bangladesh has been named after him.[10]
