Deobandi movement

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Deobandi movement is a revivalist movement in Sunni Islam that follows the Hanafi school of law and the Ash'ari or Maturidi school of thought.[1][2] It started in the late 19th century, in Deoband, India. Their beliefs include that only Allah can be asked for help and are against innovations in religion (bid'ah).[3][4]
