What was the importance of the Faraizi movement?

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 British. It brought about a spiritual revival which led to a revival in the Islamic religion in East Bengal.

The Faraizi movement was widely received in the districts of Dhaka, Faridpur, Barisal, Mymensingh and Comilla and was led by Haji Shariatullah.
