The Faraizi movement (Bengali: ফরায়েজি আন্দোলন, romanized: fôrayezi andolôn) was an Islamic revivalist, Reformist Militant movement led by Haji Shariatullah in Eastern Bengal to encourage Muslims to give up un-Islamic practices and act upon their duties as Muslims (farāʾiḍ). Founded in 1818, the movement protected the rights of tenants to a great extent.
