	ShaikhSiddiqui Barelvi
		The Barelvi school was founded by Ahmad Raza Khan (1856-1921) of Bareilly within the Hanafi school of jurisprudence.
		The Barelvi school was founded to defend the existing beliefs of Muslims of South Asia that were deeply influenced by Sufism and incorporated many unorthodox beliefs against the reformation movements influenced by Hanbali school that emphasized Sharia and Qur'an.
		For the Barelvis, (who are mostly from the Pakistan province of Punjab) the holy Prophet is a superhuman figure whose presence is all around us at all times; he is Hazir (present); he is not Bashar (material or flesh) but Nur (light).

		The congregation was organised by the Jamaat Ahl-e-Sunnat, a body of the Barelvi religious sect that is opposed to Islamist groups affiliated to the Deobandi and Salafi traditions such as the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the Tablighi Jamaat and the Jamaat Ahl-e-Hadis.
		In practice, the Barelvis believe in intercession between humans and the divine through Pirs or holy personages who are bound in a chain that reaches, eventually, to the Prophet.
		Put simply, the Barelvi tradition might have been concerned more with personal piety than political power but the clerics who represent it were not about to sit back and watch the state destroy their authority.

	Rediff On The NeT: Sectarian violence leads to death of two Muslims in Bombay
		The Barelvi and Deobandi Muslims are the two major sects among Sunni Muslims in India.
		Barelvis are followers of Ahmad Raza Khan, while the Deobandis follow Ashraf Ali Tanvi, the differences in teaching between the two scholars also contributing to the divide between the two sects.

		Barelvi was quite successful in setting up a network of centres in various cities of North India.
		Barelvi forgot that a majority of Muslims in India were converts from the Hindu fold, and that Islam sat rather lightly on most of them.
		It was during this journey that Barelvi stayed with or met several Hindu princes, feigned that his fulminations against the Sikhs were a fake, and that he was going out of India in order to establish a base for fighting against the British.

		The Barelvis justified the “mediational, custom-laden Islam, closely tied to the intercession of the pirs of the shrines”, as one scholar puts it.
		For instance, Ahmed Raza Khan, the pioneer of the Barelvi school, wrote a series of fatawa (plural of fatwa = religious decree) against Sir Sayyid of Aligarh, the Shi’is, the ahl-i-Hadith, the Deobandis and the Nadwat ul-‘Ulama in 1896.
		In one Barelvi book it is specified that teachers must make the students note down interpretations of the ulema of their sub-sect concerning beliefs and controversial issues so that students can use them later — i.e.

	Arbab Bahram Khan Shaheed :: Khyber.ORG
		Syed Ahmad Barelvi had chosen the Frontier as his center for waging Jehad because of the warrior nature of the Pashtoons and their extreme love and devotion for Islam; qualities unmatched anywhere in the sub continent.
		It was their first meeting in Panjtaar where Bahram Khan advised him that the people of the area were heavily engaged in confrontations with each other on a number of issues and that touring the surrounding villages and brokering peace amongst the tribes and calling them towards Islam will increase his popularity.
		Syed Ahmad Barelvi was still living in Panjtar in the spring of 1827 that large convoys of Mujahideen from India started arriving in Peshawar.

		barelvis r in big numbers in punjab area..but as tabligh jammat is becoming stronger,their number r decreasing....
		barelvis called deobandis and wahabies non muslims and they still call them kafis...they were the one who fought on mosuqes...sectarian issue became worst as this barelvi fitna raised....reason for calling them fitna is their list of bidahs which r increasing day by day and dividing muslims....
		Deobandis and Barelvis are both Hanafi schools of thought, whereas wahabis/salafis do not identify themselves with any of the four schools of mainstream sunnism that I know of.

		The Barelvi, Ahmad Rida Khan was named as Amman Miyan by his mother while his father called him Ahmad Miyan.
		If one was to peruse through the Barelvi literature one can not fail to notice how they contradict not just the Madhhab they claim to follow in jurisprudence (fiqh) but also contradict the way of the Sahaba on a number of occasions.
		But they way that these Barelvi's explain Karamat is though it is unlimited power like Allahu ta'ala has in the hands of the saints.

		First of all Deobandi and Barelvi are names for two of the schools which have different approaches to the immanence or transcendence of Allah (swt) and whether the Prophet was a man but Insaan al-kamil or whether he was Noor (light) it dosn't have anything to do with whether you are arab or not.
		Imam Abu Hanifa and many of hist students were not Barelvi or Hanafi and ultimately, the basis of fiqh schools are differences in methodology, not in opinion.
		The relied position I used does not say whether they are Barelvi or Deobandi and quite frankly it doesn't matter because the Hanafi madhab is a school of thought.

		Also, the Slander of Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi upon the Deobandi scholars is answered in "AlMuhannad Alal Mufannad [ Aqaid Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah ], in which, the scholars of Haramain shareefain sent a questionaire to the Deobandi scholars, regarding the lies ascribed towards them in "Hissamul Haramain", by Ahmed Raza Khan barelvi.

	19th century Ulama repudiated Jihad against British.
		"After 1871, the movement of Sayyid Ahmad [Barelvi] lost its momentum, and the modem Muslim leaders of India began to follow the new political strategy which was based on applying the principles of reconciliation and co-operation with the British government."
		In the review he tried to argue that the jihad movement of Sayyid Ahmad [Barelvi] and his followers was directed solely against the Sikh rule in the Punjab and that it had nothing to do with the British government in India....
		He adopted an apologetic tone to convince the British authorities that the Indian Muslims, including the followers of Sayyid Ahmad [Barelvi], were not opposed to the British rule.
