Nurul Islam contested in the 1970 Pakistani general election as an Awami League candidate, and successfully won a seat in the NE-106 (Dacca-III) constituency. However, the assembly was not formed and later led to the Bangladesh Liberation War. During the first set of elections in the newly-established country in 1973, Nurul Islam preserved his seat in the Jatiya Sangsad as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate from Faridpur-2.{{cite web |title="List of 1st Parliament Members" |url=http://www.parliament.gov.bd/images/pdf/formermp/1st.pdf |publisher=Bangladesh Parliament (in Bengali). |accessdate=12 April 2020}}
