THE
FARAIZI
MOVEMENT
The
Faraizi
Movement
was
founded
in 1818
by
Haji Shariatullah
to give
up
un-Islamic
practices
and act
upon
their
duties
as Muslims
(
Fard
(or
obligatory)
).
The
movement
protected the
rights
of
tenants to a
great
extent
.
THE
FARAIZI
MOVEMENT
The term Faraizi
has
been deduced
from
fard
standing for
compulsory
and
mandatory duties
ordained by Allah. The
Faraizis
are, thus, those bunch of
men
whose
only objective is to
implement
and
impose
these
mandatory
religious duties. The
promoter
and
initiator of the Faraizi
Movement, Haji
Shariatullah, however had
represented the term in a
different
light and
sense, implying
to
assimilate
every religious duty ordained by the
Quran
as
well
as by
the
Sunnah
of the Prophet, while
remaining firmly
in
the
Hanafi
school of
Islamic
jurisprudence.
THE
FARAIZI
MOVEMENT
The growing popularity of the movement
amongst the people of Bengal alarmed
the
Hindu landlords who harassed Haji
Shariatullah.
LEGACY
After
the
death of
Haji
Shariatullah in
1840, his
son,
Muhammad
Mohsin,
popularly known
as
Dadhu Mian,
organized
the
movement
and
carried on the work of
his
father.
He also visited
Arabia at
an
early age but was more politically
active than
his
father.
