Indeed, Islamic resurgence movements succeeded or are getting popularity in many countries like Iran, Turkey, Sudan, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Malaysia. But, in many places like Bangladesh the success rate is not as much as expected. What are the factors responsible for this slow growth of Islamic resurgence movements in Bangladesh? Is there any prospect of Islamic resurgence movements of Bangladesh? What initiatives are required for the success of Islamic resurgence movement? To uncover the authentic answers of these questions; an empirical study has been undertaken.
