Hazi Shariatullah initiated the Faraidi movement in the 19th century to reform Islam by eliminating superstitions and malpractices among Muslims in Bengal. His movement gained traction among the oppressed peasantry, leading to an armed struggle against exploitation by Zamindars and Indigo planters under his successor, Dudu Mia. The Faraidi movement emphasized adherence to the five pillars of Islam and promoted local culture by preaching in the Bangla language.
