Majlis Alam (Bengali: মজলিস/মজলিশ আলম, romanized: Mojlis/Mojlish Alom, Persian: مجلس عالم), was a minister (Dastur) of Srihat (Sylhet) from 1472 to 1476, during the reign of Shamsuddin Yusuf Shah, the Sultan of Bengal of the Ilyas Shahi dynasty.^[1][2]

Alam was the son of Musa ibn Haji Amir Khan.^[3] According to the Rajmala, his grandfather, Haji Amir Khan, was an army commander for Sultan Rukunuddin Barbak Shah and governed parts of Tripura.^[4] Majlis Alam was a common rank and title given by the Sultanate to a number of people and so the minister's real name is unknown.^[5]

Alam was known to have established many mosques throughout Sylhet.^[6] In 1472, he erected a replica of Pandua's Adina Mosque in Chowkidekhi (Chowkidighi Mahalla).^[7] This mosque would be destroyed by a later ruler of Sylhet, Isfandiyar Khan Beg, in the 1660s.^[8] The inscriptions here refers to himself as the Great Majlis, the Minister, the Messenger towards goodness (Arabic: مجلس العظم المعظم الدستور الساعي في الخيرات والمبرات المجلس الأعلى, romanized: Majlis al-ʿAzam al-Muʿazzam al-Dastūr, al-Sāʿi fil-Khayrāt wal-Mubarrāt al-Majlis al-Aʿlā).^[9] In 1476, Alam and his father also constructed the Goyghor Mosque in present-day Moulvibazar.^[10] He may have also constructed a small mosque in Choti Dargah in Hazrat Pandua in 1479 as the builder of that mosque goes by "Majlis al-Majālis Majlis Aʿlā".^[9]
