Journalism and writings
• Illustration — The Moslem Bharat was a monthly literary journal. Its editor and executive editors were Huq and his son Afzalul Huq respectively. • Illustration — A letter sent to Huq from Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore after the release of the Islam and Rabindranath article by Golam Mostofa of the Bengal Muslim Literary Society. Huq's poetic talent was evident from his childhood days, though he excelled more in prose. He translated the Persian epic Shahnama into Bengali in 1901. Among his novels are Zohra and Daraf Khan Gazi. His career in writing officially began as a journalist for the Calcutta Weekly Samay. He published and edited for several magazines throughout his lifetime such as the Lahari (1899), Mudgal, Shantipur Deepika, Bishwadoot, Jubak, Naoroz and the Monthly Shantipur. However, the most notable magazine was The Moslem Bharat (1920). Huq was also the vice-president of the Bengal Muslim Literary Society, from where he developed a friendship with Qazi Nazrul Islam and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, both of whom wrote articles for the society. The Calcutta-based Bangiya Sahitya Parishat later conferred the title of Kavyakantha upon Huq. Some of his works include:
