		Dar-ul-Aloom Deoband, as the school is called, has played a pivotal role in shaping the Islamic revival movements of the past century.
		The Deoband School was established to inculcate in Muslim youth the reassuring and comforting values of Islam and to provide them with the spiritual and philosophic underpinnings of their faith.
		The school of Deoband was also an attempt to counter the influence of some Muslims reformists like Sayyid Ahmad Khan who advocated a mix of religious and Western education for the youth.

	Barbara Metcalf: Piety, Persuasion, and Politics: Deoband's Model of Islamic Activism
		The Tablighi Jama`at was an offshoot of the Deoband movement.
		Thus, as in the initial Deoband movement and in many other Sufi and sectarian in modern South Asia, it was not necessary to choose between the devotional power of Sufism and the conviction of reformist imitation of prophetic teaching.
		Aside from Deoband's enduring influence, it exemplifies a pattern, represented in general terms in a range of Islamic movements outside South Asia as well, of a pattern of "traditionalist" cultural renewal on the one hand coupled with political adaptability on the other.

	ISLAMIC INSTITUTIONS IN INDIA - Protracted Movement for Separate Muslim Identity?
		Basically, Deoband under ideological influence of Wahhabi school of Islam (a radical Islamist movement launched by Maulana Wahhab of Arabia) was founded for the religio-political cause of Indian Muslims for their strict adherence to 'Hanafi' (one of the Sunni schools of Islamic law ascribed to Abu-Hanifa -699-767) school of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence).
		Deoband supports the doctrine of composite nationalism in principle but its obsession in molding the Muslim life in India in conformity of Shariat exposes its precedence of religious fundamentalism over the larger interest of Indian society.
		Thousands of 'Wahhabi warriors' produced by Deoband and large number of madrasas affiliated to it have hardly benefited the Indian Muslims as far as their material advancement is concerned.

	Deobandi Movement, Ted Thornton, NMH, Northfield Mount Hermon
		Deoband tradition teaches that men are more intelligent than women and that there is no point in educating girls beyond the age of eight.
		Deoband teachings, like those of the Wahhabis, are puritanical in tone: they seek to purge Islam of Western and modernist influences and institutions and to establish the Qur'an and Hadith ("sayings" of the Prophet Muhammad) as the sole guiding lights.
		Deobandi schools have sought to purify Islam, as practiced in India, of such popular practices borrowed from Hinduism as the veneration of idols and visits to shrines and graves of saints (the Wahhabis sought to do the same in the Arabian peninsula).

	Special Report (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Allah Ta’ala has honoured the services of Deoband and it is perhaps for this reason that they are remembered through their writings, speeches, students and manuscripts throughout the world.
		Darul Uloom Deoband was established (and continues) fully and wholly on the trust and dependence (monetary and otherwise) on Allah Ta’ala and Him alone.
		The estimation of the last Darul Uloom Deoband Jalsa in Deoband could not be used to determine the numbers simply because Pakistan is a predominantly Muslim populace and the number of religious institutions far exceeds the Indian continent.

	ShaikhSiddiqui Deobandi
		The Deoband Madrasa brought together Muslims who were hostile to British colonial rule and committed to a literal and austere interpretation of Islam.
		The Deoband school has long sought to purify Islam by discarding supposedly un-Islamic accretions to the faith and reemphasizing the models established in the Koran and the customary practices of the Prophet Mohammed.
		The tack of Darul Uloom Deoband is in accordance with the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, Hanafiate practical method (Mazhab) and the disposition (Mashrab) of its founders, Maulana Mohammad Qasim Nanautavi and Hazrat Maulana Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi.

		Deobandism is a puritanical Islamic movement that began in colonial India more than 100 years ago.
		It is unlikely that Deobandism would have taken off in the way it did without the British of the mid-19th century and their overweening Christianity.
		Most of Deoband's students support the Taliban in their battle against the west, as do the leaders of India's 150m-strong Muslim community: as Margoob Rahman puts it, the US is behaving like a large child bullying a much smaller one.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation
		Deoband — a premier institution of Islamic learning in the Saharanpur district — and madarsas run by it were Togadia’s principal targets at the controversial Trishul Diksha function in Hardoi also.
		Togadia’s remarks against the Deoband school and its madarsas have evoked strong protest from Muslim intellectuals and clerics.
		There was nothing in the syllabus being taught in Darul Uloom, Deoband, and other Islamic madarsas that preaches hatred or intolerance or incites against followers of other religions,” he insisted.

	Deobandi Islam
		The northern Indian Deobandi school argues that the reason Islamic societies have fallen behind the West in all spheres of endeavor is because they have been seduced by the amoral and material accoutrements of Westernization, and have deviated from the original pristine teachings of the Prophet.
		Deoband is a town a hundred miles north of Delhi where a madrasa (religious school) was established there in 1867.
		The tack of Darul Uloom Deoband is in accordance with the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, Hanafiate practical method (Mazhab) and the disposition (Mashrab) of its holy founders, Hazrat Maulana Mohammad Qasim Nanautavi (Allah's mercy be on him!) and Hazrat Maulana Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi (may his secret be sanctified).

		Deoband Head Mufti Habeebur Rahman Khairabadi and other top muftis, who form the Iftah Committee, come together whenever they have to pronounce a fatwa on some critical matter.
		But unfortunately, Deoband is not remembered for its contribution to the freedom struggle and its rejection of Pakistan,” said Siddique, stroking the wisps of white hair on his balding head.
		English and computers seem to be the golden words in Deoband’s public relations, spoken of in a manner as to prove that the seminary is trying to maintain its pace with the world.

	Introduction to Darul-uloom Deoband
		The time when the Darul Uloom Deoband, was established, the old Madaris in India had almost become extinct, and the condition of two or four that had survived the ravages of time was not better than that of a few glow-worms in a dark night.
		Darul Uloom, Deoband, is in fact a shore less ocean from which, besides those of this sub-continent, the seekers of knowledge of the whole of Asia are benefiting.
		The establishment of this seminary in the land of Deoband and its stability is the result of a concerted effort and endeavor of the Muslims of the sub-continent.

		Deoband: Three days before the centenary celebration of Vande Mataram, the Muslims bodies seem to be taking a mid-path on the controversy.
		The Darul Uloom Deoband on Monday categorically stated that it had not issued any fatwa (decree) on Vande Mataram and nor directed Muslim children to skip classes on September 7 to protest against its mandatory recitation in the BJP-ruled states.
		Terming it unfair to target the ulema of the Darul Uloom, Deoband without ascertaining facts on the issue, the Maulana said they did not wish to be party to any 'political controversy'.

		Waliullah, deputy Imam at a mosque at Phoolpur near Allahabad who passed out from Deoband in 1997, is learnt to have told his interrogators that jehadis were using the campus as a recruitment pad for terror activities.
		Though he is learnt to have told STF officials that the Deoband authorities were not aware of the recruitment efforts on the campus, the revelation has forced the authorities to take a second look at warnings sounded by intelligence agencies from time to time about the activities of the Deobandi hardliners at Darul Uloom.
		Deoband has styled itself as a moderate institution by highlighting its opposition to the movement for Pakistan.

	Opinion - April 26, 2001 \| Deliberations at Deoband ConferenceI TRB \|
		The Dar-ul-Uloom and the Deoband leadership are held in high esteem not only in India but also throughout the world, primarily because they have sought to emphasise the egalitarian and spiritual values of Islam.
		But the leaders in Deoband would have to ask themselves honestly whether it is not a fact that religious bigots like Maulana Fazlur Rahman, Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden have tarnished the name of Deoband and the tenets of Islam by their practices and policies.
		It is time for those who cherish the values that Deoband has consistently stood for and espoused to openly dissociate themselves from the resolutions passed and the extremist and bigoted views expressed at the conference they attended.

	White and Balck
		We, also, say to the propagandists of Deoband that the controversy between us will continue to rage until they accept the idolatrous and disgusting writings of their stalwart ulama to be idolatrous and disgusting even according to the verdict of their own ulama, and until they deny that such writings are valid and laudable.
		The ulama of Deoband need to obtain fatwa from their own Muftis after presenting to them blasphemous and wrong writings of the ulama of Deoband without disclosing the names of the writers, and thus the fatwa of blasphemy comes to be immediately pronounced.
		As a matter of fact, these Wahaabis of Deoband are undergoing punishment for inventing a lie against Allah and for being insolent to Prophets and saints, in that they are proved wrong through their own fatawaa of declaring every good and lawful act to be polytheistic and thus earn the wrath of Allah.

	Deoband Movement [1866-1947]
		The original idea of establishing a madrasa for teaching religious subjects was that of a practicing sufi and a reputed saint, Haji Muhammad Abid of Deoband.
		The madrasa at Deoband followed the Madrasa-i-Rahimiyah in its emphasis on Hadith, but it also incorporated many features of the new educational institutions established by the British, e.g., division of students in regular classes, attendance registers and written examinations.
		Deoband has invariably remained as the central institution catering to requirements of religious education of the Muslim community all over Sub-continent.

	The Imrana case and the Deoband fatwa
		The Imrana case and the Deoband fatwa, is generating considerable anxiety.There is a fear that we may be on the verge of another Shah Banu disaster.The last thing the country needs at this stage is another issue to widen the gulf between Hindus and Muslims.
		The concern for Imrana is genuine and admirable among human rights and women activists.But there is also the Sangh Parivar that would love to use this issue to increase stereotyping of Muslims, and shed crocodile tears for the plight of its women.
		Certainly Imrana, her husband and her five children deserve these considerations.By declaring this marriage to be null and void, the final price for this dastardly act will be paid by the victims.That violates the spirit and the letter of the Koran.

	No fatwa in Imrana rape case: Deoband-India-The Times of India
		Days after they unleashed a storm of protest across the nation, clerics at Dar-ul-Uloom Deoband, perhaps in a desperate attempt to wriggle out of an unsavoury controversy over the rape case, said they passed no fatwa "whatsoever" that mandated Imrana break away from her husband.
		The media in-charge of Dar-ul-Uloom Deoband, Adil Siddiqui, clarifying the role of the institution, claimed that the confusion began after a Muzaffarnagar-based journalist, Ashraf Usmani, asked for a written declaration of the said diktat.
		It had no mention of Imrana and only spoke of a hypothetical situation, asking what would happen if a woman was raped by her father-in-law, but wished to remain with her husband.
