Biswas (Muslim traditions) in Bangladesh

Biswas is both a surname and a title in Bangladesh, and the title is very flattering. It means "reliable," "trustworthy" or "faith." This honorable title was given to them by Muslim rulers in a time that predates British rule. Many of them were administrators at that time. Today there is a long list of famous and prominent people in Bangladesh with the surname of Biswas.

Ministry Obstacles

Their pride in their past can easily keep many from seeing that they need a savior, especially since Islam does not point to a savior.

Outreach Ideas

It will take much prayer before the Biswas community is ready to accept that they need a sinless savior. Before anyone attempts to reach out to them, they should have a strong prayer covering.
