Deobandi movement

The Deobandi are Muslims of South Asia and Afghanistan who follow the fiqh (tradition of jurisprudence) of Imam Abu Hanifa . The name comes from Deoband , India , where the madrassa Darul Uloom Deoband is sited. They consider the Shia sect to be an apostate group. The five main points of the Deobandi movement are: Tawheed : (Monotheism) of Allah , no one shares His attributes. Sunnah : Following and loving the methodology of the Messenger of Allah , Muhammad in every small and big matter. Hubb us Sahaabah: Love of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, and following their way. Taqleed wal Ittiba': Giving preference to the jurisprudence of one of the earliest jurists of Islam over that of later jurists. Jihaad fi Sabeelillah: Doing Jihaad in the way of Allah against every evil. The Deobandi follow Imam Abu Mansur Maturidi , (d.333H) a Hanafi scholar, in Ilm ul Kalaam (Rhetorics) i.e the science of refuting attacks on Islam made using Grecian logic The Taliban are reputed to follow the teachings of the Deoband school, although some non- Deobandis claim they follow an extremely strict and simplistic version of the school's teachings. Many of the Taliban leadership completed their studies in Islamic subjects at the Deobandi institute Dar ul Uloom Haqqaaniyah at Akora Khattak in Pakistan . Though the Deobandis follow the school of Abu Hanifa and are Maturidi in creed, they have reformist tendancies similar to that of the Wahhabis . Maulana Rahmatullah Kairanvi, the famous polemicist who emigrated to Arabia after the 1857 war , was also one of their associates.

The Deobandi movement or Deobandism is a revivalist movement within Sunni Islam that adheres to the Hanafi school of law. It formed in the late 19th century around the Darul Uloom Madrassa in Deoband , India, from which the name derives, by Muhammad Qasim Nanautavi , Rashid Ahmad Gangohi , and several others, after the Indian Rebellion of 1857–58 . They consider themselves the continuation of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaat . The main purpose of this movement was to reject the grave worshipping, shirk and protect the orthodoxy of Islam from Bidah , as well as the influence of non-Muslim cultures on the Muslim of South Asia. The movement pioneered education in religious sciences through the Dars-i-Nizami associated with the Lucknow -based ulema of Firangi Mahal with the goal of preserving traditional Islamic teachings from the influx of modernist, secular ideas during British colonial rule . The Deobandi movement's Indian clerical wing, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind , was founded in 1919 and played a major role in the Indian independence movement through its participation in the Pan-Islamist Khalifat movement and propagation of the doctrine of composite nationalism . The movement shares several similarities with Wahhabism . Theologically, the Deobandis uphold the doctrine of taqlid (conformity to legal precedent) and adhere to the Hanafi school. Founders of the Deobandi school Nanautavi and Gangohi drew inspiration from the religio-political doctrines of the prominent South Asian Islamic scholar and Sufi reformer Shah Waliullah Dehlawi (1703–1762 CE / 1114–1175 AH). In its early years, Deobandi ulema engaged in theological debates with Christian and Hindu scholars; with the objective of defending Islamic faith, and to form a popular struggle to overthrow British colonialism. Deobandi theologians of Jamiat Ulema e-Hind, in particular, discussed multiculturalism and opposition to the partition of India , with a strategic vision to safeguard the religious freedom of Muslims in India . In response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, Saudi Arabia decided to support the Deobandi movement due to its popularity in the Pashtun regions in Afghanistan and Pakistan , which influenced the movement with Salafi ideals. From the early 1980s to the early 2000s, Deobandis were robustly funded by Saudi Arabia. Pakistan also strongly supported Deobandi Mujahidin to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and India in the Kashmir insurgency , owing to their affiliation with the Pan-Islamist legacies of Shah Waliullah and the Silk Letter Movement in the subcontinent. Alongside Jamaat-e-Islami , Deobandi Islamist militias constituted the most committed volunteers for the anti-communist Afghan Jihad . The movement has spread from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh to the United Kingdom , and has a presence in South Africa . The Pakistani and Afghan branches and the original Indian seminaries have far less contact since the Partition of India , for political reasons related to the India–Pakistan border. Followers of the Deobandi movement are extremely diverse; some advocate for non-violence and others are militant . The Mission and the Kingdom: Wahhabi Power behind the Saudi throne . That tendency [of reviving the community of believers] emerged in a town north of Delhi called Deoband and it is therefore known as the Deobandi movement. While they shared the Wahhabis' dedication to ritual correctness, their scrupulous adherence to the Hanafi legal school clearly set them apart from the Arabian Hanbalis.
