Muslim Sahitya Samaj (1926-1938) literary and cultural organisation, founded on 17 January 1926 by a number of teachers and students. They met in Muslim Hall Union at the university of dhaka. The famous buddhir mukti andolan was organised under its banner, the purpose of which was intellectual freedom of Bengali Muslims.

In 1931 a constitution was framed, emphasising devotion to truth and literary pursuits. muhammad shahidullah was the founding president and abul hussain was the secretary. Other members included AFM Abdul Haque, Abdul Quadir, Anwar Hossein and AZ Nur Ahmed, Quazi Motahar Husain, Abul Fazal, Kazi Anwarul Kadir, Shamsul Huda, Charuchandra Bandyopadhyay, Mohitlal Majumder, and Kazi Abdul Wadud.

Apart from holding monthly and annual meetings, the society published an annual magazine, shikha, which acted as its mouthpiece. On the title page of the magazine was printed the motto of the society: 'Jnan yekhane simabaddha, buddhi sekhane adasta, mukti sekhane asambhab' (Where knowledge is limited, intellect is benumbed and freedom is impossible). The conservative Muslims of Dhaka were critical of the progressive ideas of some of the members, and meetings of the society at Muslim Hall were banned. Abul Hussain, in particular, faced considerable hostility and was forced to leave Dhaka for Kolkata. [Nurul Amin]
