The Faraizi movement (Bengali: ফরায়েজী আন্দোলন, romanized: Phôrāẏējī āndōlôn, lit. 'Movement of the obligatories') was an anticolonial Islamic revivalist and 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.
