Talk:Faraizi movement

Untitled
According to the Nuttall Encyclopedia, "a Mohammedan sect formed in 1827, and met with chiefly in Eastern Bengal; they discard tradition, and accept the Korân as their sole guide in religious and spiritual concerns, in this respect differing from the Sunnites, with whom they have much else in common; although of a purer morality than the main body of Mohammedans, they are narrow and intolerant." OK, I can't find any confirmation that is is actually a sect proper, outside of Sunni. The Nuttall article sounded, initially, like it meant they rejected the hadith, but everything I can find says they were opposed to bidah. So really, it sounds very similar to the Wahabi movement which is definitely within Sunni bounds. It seems Nuttall probably just goofed, but I'd like to be sure. --Tydaj 19:44, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Farazi movement
The Faraizi movement (Bengali: ফরায়েজি আন্দোলন, romanized: fôrayeji andolon) was a movement led by Haji Shariatullah in Eastern Bengal to give up un-Islamic practices and act upon their duties as Muslims (farāʾiḍ).[1] Founded in 1818, the movement protected the rights of tenants to a great extent. 2400:ADC1:151:4A00:8938:1307:9A89:C21D (talk) 04:18, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
