Early life and education
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. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was his maternal cousin, thus making him a member of the Sheikh–Wazed family.
Career
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. 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.
