In this scholarly contribution published in Amman, Jordan, Professor Dr. Abul Hasan M. Sadeq broadens his academic scope from economics to cultural history. The research explores the pivotal role of the Bengali language as a vehicle for Islamic thought and civilization in the South Asian subcontinent.

The chapter details how the synthesis of Islamic values and the Bengali linguistic heritage created a unique literary and social identity. Professor Sadeq analyzes the infusion of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish vocabulary into Bengali, which facilitated the spread of Islamic sciences, Sufi literature, and ethical philosophy among the masses. He argues that the Bengali language was not merely a passive recipient but an active participant in building Islamic Civilization, producing a rich corpus of "Puthi" literature and classical poetry that bridged the gap between Middle Eastern scholarship and regional cultural sensibilities. This work highlights the linguistic diversity of the Muslim world and underscores the importance of regional languages in the global intellectual history of Islam.
