Muhammad Sajjad bin Kamaruz Zaman (born 23 February 1985), better known as Sajat is a Malaysian-born former business man. Sajat now is a UNHCR refugee in Australia.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

In 2020, Nur Sajat sparked outrage after posting photos from her pilgrimage to Mecca, wearing female prayer attire and makeup. Her actions drew criticism from Malaysia's religious affairs minister, who expressed concern over potential diplomatic tensions with Saudi Arabia. Reports suggest Sajat has since been removed from Mecca following the incident.

In January 2021, she was arrested and charged with “insulting Islam” for wearing traditional women's clothing in her own premises during a 2018 religious event. She fled to Thailand in February 2021, but the Malaysian government convinced Thai authorities to detain her. She was released on bail and is now living in Australia, where she was granted asylum and continues operating her business.
