	Barelwi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barelwi Sunnism, the self-proclaimed Ahle Sunnah Movement, or just the Sunni movement, is a movement within Sunni Islam that was started by Imam Ahmed Rida Khan of Bareilly, India (hence the term Barelwi).
		Barelwis in India are basically Hanafi by Madhab (School of Jurisdiction), but accept all the other three Sunni schools to be valid.
		Some Islamic scholars have claimed that certain Barelwi teachings are incorrect and not in keeping with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (see Sunnah) [2][3] [4].

		The doctrinal difference was that Barelwis encouraged visits to the tombs of saintly persons, while the Deobandis condemned such practices and the belief in the intercession of saints.
		Moreover ideological differences between the Barelwis and Deobandis are likely to have been exacerbated and exploited by the Raj, in keeping with a policy of divide and rule.
		The Barelwis could not see the issue in such fl-and-white terms, given Sherif Hussein's Hashemite ancestory and hence blood tie to the Prophet, peace be on him.

		One of the Indian Islamic revival movements of the late 19th century, Barelwi life revolves around holy elders known as pirs; their graves become shrines and places of pilgrimage.
		As one Yorkshireman from a Barelwi background, Azhar Hussain, said: "When I was 17 and got to university and began to take religion more seriously I went to hear all the Islamic groups to see which one made the most sense.
		To compound the crisis of identity for male teenagers, Muslim girls are thriving with their new-found opportunities in the UK as they pull steadily ahead of their male counterparts at GCSE level and in the numbers going on to higher education.

		Barelwi The Barelwis are the majority theological grouping of Muslims in Northern England.
		Barelwi’s dependence upon South Asian culture means that it is difficult to relate its Islam to an alien culture (e.g., English culture) - its faith is upheld by living in South Asian sub-cultures.
		Barelwi Muslims are very conscious of the poor treatment that many South Asian guest workers have received in the Gulf States and Wahhabis see the Barelwi as a very inferior form of Islam compared to their austere faith.

	PANEL 23: Translocal Muslim networks and religious mobilisation in South Asia (18th-21st centuries) \| EASAS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Although the movement emerged out of the folk Islam, also called the Barelwis in South Asia, the MQ has, following jama’at Islami, politicized the Barelwi tradition, however at the same time it wants to live within the sufi tradition that it has inherited.
		It is also driven by religious visions of speading the message of Islam to the modern middle classes of Muslim society and preserve their religious orientation.
		The author also notes that in her discussion with experts on Islamic education in Pakistan, their private views reflect a need for changing the 1400-year old curriclum (Dars-e-Nizami) to ensure that Pakistan's ullema remain competent to inveigh on topics of import to the modern state.

		I hear some Deobandis claim that the Barelwis believe this and that, yet when I speak to some of our Barelwi brothers about the issue, they categorically state that this is not what we believe; rather.and then they explain their stance.
		The case is same with the Barelwis, in that they themselves decide for the Deobandis that agree or disagree; this is what you believe, despite the Deobandis rejecting it.
		The Barelwis, on the other hand, say there is nothing wrong in giving this title to the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) even if the knowledge to him was given by Allah Most High.

	The Salafi’s and Barelwi’s « Brilliance of Islam
		Two mutant accretions which have become attached to Islam in these times are the two deviant groups of Bid'ah, viz., the Barelwi grave-worshippers and the Salafi worshippers of the nafs.
		The Barelwis prostrate to the graves of the Auliyaa; they make tawaaf of the graves; they decorate the graves with expensive quilts and sheets, they practise meelad, urs, etc.; they believe in the omnipresence of the Rasool (sallallahu alayhi wasallam); their headquarters are the graveyards where they erect mausolea (tombs) for generation of financial income.
		In stark contrast to this evil concept of the Salafis, the evil belief of the Barelwis have bestowed the attribute of omnipresence to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

		Imam Ahmad Raza Khan’s (may Allah be pleased with him) followers were called Barelwi simply because he was resident of the town Bareilly, in Rohilkhand (western portion of present-day Uttar Pradesh).
		It is common practice for Muslims in South Asia (as elsewhere) to identify themselves by place-name, or by profession, association with a Sufi Tariqa (example, Qadiri, Chishti, etc), or family lineage (such as Qureshi or Usmani), so as to distinguish between individuals with the same personal name.
		Failure to make these internal distinctions creates the impression that all rural shrines were Barelwi in orientation and that the movement was therefore made up of a large, undifferentiated mass of Muslim peasants.

		Most people who choose to follow the Barelwi Madhab, have not read their leader’s books, but still hold on to many of the beliefs INVENTED by raza khan Barelwi and his "Sufi" predecessors.
		Many “Barelwis” do not know their origins, but still choose to stay away from Ahl as Sunnah, the majority/mainstream.
		Inshallah, this should be satisfactory evidence to represent the raza khanis (Barelwis) through the teachings of Allah Subhanahu Wa ta a'la and with their own words.

		Maulana Ahmed Riza Khan (or Barelwi) is also a well known alim, a central figure to the Barelwi movement.
		But when a zealous mind harbors prejudice and wants to condemn others and have others join too in the condemnation, practically there are enough fatwa-wielding Ulama to push each other out from the fold of Islam.
		Many of the statements of Deobandis were misrepresented by the Barelwi scholar before the condemning Ulama of the Haramain, and there it was: the garland of fatwa over the neck of the Deobandis.

		Foremost amongst Deobandi scholars who have written formal refutations of Maududi is Shaikh Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhalwi, the late hadith scholar and influential figure in the Tablighi Jama`at.

		In South Asia, the Sunnis are divided into what are popularly known as the Deobandis, the Barelwis, the Ahl-i Hadith and the followers of the cults of local Sufis who are not affiliated to any formal organisation.
		Some months ago I attended a massive Barelwi gathering in Bombay, where I listened to the impassioned speeches of numerous Barelwi ‘ulama thundering against various other Muslim groups.
		Later, I asked a Barelwi scholar who was present on the occasion to tell me what he thought about the fiery diatribes of the ‘ulama against other Muslim sects.
