This research explores the impact of Christian missionary efforts on Bengali Muslims under British colonial rule, centering on the personal and religious transformation of Munshi Sheikh Zamiruddin (1870–1937). As a prominent colonial region, Bengal experienced vigorous missionary campaigns following the Charter Acts of 1813 and 1833. Influenced by Christian teachings during his academic years, Zamiruddin initially converted to Christianity. However, after studying Islamic literature and engaging with Muslim scholars, he ultimately reverted to Islam. His story captures the broader religious and intellectual struggles of the era, illustrating both the influence of missionary work and the determined preservation of Islamic faith in colonial Bengal.
