Early life

Born in 1840 to a family of religious leaders, he grew up in Nain before later travelling to Tehran. In 1862 he married Hosnieh, daughter of a wealthy merchant named Mirza Taghi Ajudan. Two of their children, Hassan and Hossein, would later draft the Persian Constitution of 1906 and play key roles in Iranian politics during the later Qajar period. Nasrullah, working his way up through the ranks of government, became the Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1898.

Premier

Nasrullah became the Premier of Iran under the new Iranian Constitution of 1906. Although he resigned on 17 March 1907, his cabinet remained in place until 1 May 1907. After Nasrullah's death, his eldest son Hassan Pirnia inherited the title of Moshir al-Dowleh before also serving as Prime Minister the following decade.
