Career

Sultan Zauq started teaching in 1959 at Madrasa Rashidia in Chandanaish Upazila. In 1960 he joined Jamia Imdadia Kishoreganj. In 1962, in response to the call of Maulana Haji Yunus Saheb, he was appointed as a teacher in Al-Jamiah Al-Islamiah Patiya.

In 1965, he left Jamia Patiya for the first time in order to establish an educational institution, and with his friendlscholar Kamal Uddin established a madrassa named Kashemul Uloom in Agrabad. That year, he devoted himself as a teacher at Al-Jamiatul Islamiah Azizul Uloom Babunagar in response to the call of Allama Harun Babunagari. Nadvi taught Arabic literature and Hadith at higher levels and served as a Mufti. He established an organization named Nadiatul Adab for the study of Arabic Literature. After Bangladesh's independence, he was appointed to Al-Jamiah Al-Islamiah Patiya for the second time. He taught Tahawi Sharif, Tirmidhi Sharif, Mishkat and other important books there. He sponsored the Arabic Language Department, establishing an Arabic Language Academy. At that time, a quarterly Arabic journal named As-Subhul Jadeed, was published regularly via his editing.

In 1981, he went to India to participate in its International Literary Seminar and stayed for two months in the Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama. In 1986, Nadvi was appointed to the trustee board of Rabeta Al-Adab al-Aslami (Universal League of Islamic Literature), and was declared chairman of Bangladesh regional office of the organization. In his invitation in 1984, Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi traveled to Bangladesh and advised him about establishing a madrassa. In 1985, Allama Zauq Nadwi left Al-Jamiah Al-Islamiah Patiya for the second time and established Jamia Darul Ma'arif Al-Islamia.

At his initiative, an international literary seminar Islamic Influences in the Languages and Literature of the Eastern Nations was held in 1994 chaired by Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi in Jamia Darul Ma'arif Al-Islamia under the management of Rabita al-Adab al-Islami.
