Girish Chandra Sen, a Brahmo Samaj missionary, was the first person to translate the Qur an into Bengali language in 1886. It was his finest contribution to Bengali literature. Son of Madhabram Sen of Panchdona, Dhaka in Bengal (now part of Narayanganj District in Bangladesh), he learnt Persian and Sanskrit in early life and started working as a copywriter in the court of the deputy magistrate in Mymensingh. He was attracted to the Brahmo Samaj under the influence of Keshub Chunder Sen and Bijay Krishna Goswami and joined it as a missionary in 1871.
