Tariqah-i-Muhammadiya (Bengali:তরিকতে মুহাম্মদিয়া), was an Islamic revivalist, reformist and militant movement in the early nineteenth century.[1][2] The movement’s followers were adherents of Sufism who emphasized the importance of a murshid (spiritual guide) in cultivating purity of thought and action.[3]
Foundation
It was founded after Titumir met Syed Ahmad Barelvi in Mecca. It worked as a front group for Syed Ahmed Shahid's jihad movement.[4]
