    Q: What was the Faraizi Movement?

    [4]
    ANS: Faraizi movement was started by Haji Shariat Ullah (1781-1840) in Bengal
    to revive Islam and to improve the condition of Muslim peasants who were
    opposed by Hindu and British landlords. Haji Shariat Ullah advised the Muslims to
    perform religious obligations (Faraiz i.e. prayers etc) strictly and seriously. Haji
    Shariat Ullah started the faraizi movement to restore the pride of the Muslims and
    to remove what he thought were the Hindu practices had crept into their worship.
    The faraizi movement was important because it gave encouragement to the
    Muslims at the time when they were demoralized by the oppression they suffered
    from the Hindus and the British. It brought about a spiritual revival which led to a
    revival in the Islamic religion in East Bengal. Hindu influences were removed from
    the Islamic practices. It also had an important political and economic impact. The
    Bengal peasants became united against the harsh treatment they received. They
    became aware of their rights and the political unity began to grow amongst them.
    This movement was carried on by his son till 1860.
