Correct Answer: Purify Islam
Solution : The correct answer is to Purify Islam.
By overthrowing non-Islamic rulers, the political goal was to impose an Islamic state. In India, the Wahabi movement focused mainly on achieving its religious, political, and social objectives. Purification, and dissemination of true Islamic principles were the aims of religion. Syed Ahmed Barelvi served as the movement's leader. The movement, which had been going on since the 1830s, turned into a violent Jihad against the British after the uprising of 1857.
