Eid al-Adha 2020 Special: Divisions of Islam Part-2

This is the 2nd part of Eid al-Adha 2020 Special: Divisions of Islam Part-2. 


Deobandi and Barelvi

Both names are named after two districts of Uttar Pradesh, India Deoband, and Bareilly.

In the early 20th century, two religious leaders Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (1863–1943) and Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi (1856–1921) interpreted Islamic law differently.

Ashraf Ali Thanvi was related to Darul-Uloom Deoband Madrasa, while Ala Hazrat Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi was related to Bareilly.

Maulana Abdul Rashid Gangohi and Maulana Qasim Nanotvi laid the foundation of the Deoband madrasa in 1866. Maulana Abdul Rashid Gangohi, Maulana Qasim Nanotvi, and Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi have played an important role in promoting Deobandi ideology.

Most of the Muslims living in the subcontinent i.e. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan belong to these two sections.

Those who believe in Deobandi and Barelvi's ideology claim that the Quran and Hadith are the main source of their Shari'a, but to follow it, it is necessary to follow the Imam. Therefore, all the laws of Shariah are according to the Fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifa.

At the same time, the people of Barelvi ideology consider Ala Hazrat Raza Khan Barelvi's method more correct. Ala Hazrat Raza Khan's tomb in Bareilly is a big center for those who believe in the Barelvi ideology.

There is not much difference between the two but there are differences in some things. Just like Barelvi believes that Prophet Mohammad knows everything, what he sees, and what he does not. He is present everywhere and watching everything.

Deobandi does not believe in it. Deobandi places the prophet second after Allah but considers him a human being. Barelvis are a follower of Sufi Islam and Sufi Mazars have a lot of importance here, while Deobandis do not have much importance for these Mazars, but they oppose it.

Maliki

The second Imam of the Sunnis, after Imam Abu Hanifa, is Imam Malik whose followers are few in Asia. One of his important books is famous as 'Imam Motta'.

His followers follow his stated rules. These communities are commonly found in Middle East Asia and North Africa.

Eid al-Adha 2020 special: Prophet Ibrahim

-
Prophet Ibrahim played a very important role in Islam. He fulfilled all the commandments and trials God gave him during his life. As a result of his unwavering faith, he was promised by God to be a leader of all the nations in the world. Now let's start his story. Prophet Ibraham was born in the kingdom of Babylon a long long time ago! He was blessed with wisdom even when he was a child, and this made him very very special! The Prophet was born during a time when the people worshipped the sun, the moon, the stars and they worshipped even the idols made out of stone! Ibrahim’s father was a sculptor, and he used to make the idols with his own hands! His father never used to worship Allah at all! As a child, he used to sit and watch his father carving out these statues from stone. Sometimes Ibrahim used to play with them! But when he saw the same statue in temples, he got confused. He wondered why the people were prostrating before these stone idols, so he decided to ask his father ab

Eid al-Adha 2020 Special: Divisions of Islam Part-1 If viewed on a large scale or on the basis of the sections, Muslims can be divided into two parts - Sunni and Shia. However, Shias and Sunnis are also divided into many cults. If we talk about Shia and Sunni, both of them agree that Allah is one, Mohammed saheb is their messenger and the Quran is the sky book i.e. the book sent by Allah. But there are serious differences in beliefs between the two communities and the issue of their successor after the death of Prophet Mohammad. The Islamic laws of these two are also different. Sunni Sunni or Sunnah means adopting the manner in which the Prophet Mohammad (570-632 AD) has implemented himself and accordingly he is called Sunni. According to an estimate, about 80-85 percent of the world's Muslims are Sunni while between 15 and 20 percent are Shia. Sunni Muslims believe that their father-in-law, Hazrat Abu-Bakr (632-634 AD) became the new Muslim leader after Prophet Mohammed, who was c
