This document discusses the beliefs of the Deobandi Islamic school and cites examples from their scholars' writings that promote views contradicting orthodox Islam. These include statements that Allah can lie, the Prophet Muhammad was mixed in sand after death, and thinking of an ox or donkey in prayer is acceptable but thinking of the Prophet is shirk. It warns that respecting teachers with incorrect beliefs can lead one to ignore faults like disbelief, and advises not praying behind those with deviant views that reject core Islamic concepts.

1. dangerous belief of the deobandis
Below are cited a few examples of the spurious beliefs that the Deobandi hold written
in the books of the Ulleama of Deoband. These beliefs are not spoken about amongst
them, as this would deter people from following them and expose their corrupt faith.
Witness in these few examples how far these so-called Mujaddith's of Deoband can
go! See what nonsense Mulla Ashraf Ali Thanwi is trying to unload to the untrained
mind, the same Thanwi whom the Deobandis refer to as “Hakeem-ul-Ummat”!
1. Allah can speak lies". ("Barahine Qaatia" by Khaleel Ambetwi; "Yakrozi" by
Ismaeel Dehlwi; "Fatawa Rasheedia" by Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi).
2. "The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) had died and is mixed in the sand."
("Taqweeyat-ul Imaan" by Ismaeel Dehlwi).
3. "To think of an ox and donkey in Salaah is permissible, but to think of the Prophet
(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in Salaah is Shirk (Polytheism)." ("Seerate Mustaqeem"
by Ismaeel Dehlwi).
4. Any person who says the Nabi to be Haazir and Naazir is a Kaafir. ("Jawaahirul
Quraan" by Ghulaamullah Khan).
5. "It is satisfying to say "Laa'Illaaha il-lal Laahu Ashraf Ali Rasool-ul-Laah" and
"Al-Laahumma Salli 'Ala Saiyyidina Nabiyina Ashraf Ali" and there is no harm in
saying so." Risaalah Al lmaad, page 35)
6.The prophet laid the foundation of Darul-Uloom, Deoband, India (in the 19th
century) He comes to check accounts of the school. He has learnt the Urdu language.
(Mubasshirat-e-Darul Uloom)
7.Mulla Mohammad Qasim Nanotwi saw in his dream that he was sitting in the lap of
Allaah. (Biography of Mulla Qasim by Mulla Mohammad Yaqoob Nanotwi)
8.The advent of another Prophet is quite possible. (Mulla Abdul Hai Farangi Mahli
and Mulla Qasim Nanotwi, Tahzeer-in-Nas, p.34, Athar Ibn Abbas, p.16)
9.Disrespect to a monk is more perilous than disrespect to Allaah. (Mulla Ashraf Ali
Thanwi, Al-Ashraf, p.23, Nov. 1991)
10. Deobandi mullah, Shah Ismail Shaheed, decalres that "one
cannot rule out the possibility that Allah (swt) can forget"Deobandi Reference: "Yak
Rowza" (Farsi), by Shah Ismail Shaheed page 217
11 Risala Tazkara of Darul-uloom Deoband of 1965 claims: Anyone suffering from
malaria who took dust from the grave of “Maulana” Yaqoob Nanotwi and tied this
dust to his body, found instant relief.
12. Allaah cuts jokes with the Ulama of Deoband. One of them went to a well for
“Wudu” (Ablution) He lowered the bucket in the well. It came back full of silver. The
Holy man said to Allaah: Don’t kid around! I am getting late for prayers. He lowered
the bucket in again and this time it came back full of gold. (Risala Tazkara of Darul-
uloom Deoband of April 1965)

2. 13. "Allah does not know beforehand what His creations would do. Allah comes to
know of their doings only after they have done something." Tafseer Bulghatul
Hairaan pages 157 and 158
14. "Shaitaan (Satan) and the Angel of death are more knowledgeable than the holy
Prophet (saww) is.: Baraaheen-e-Qaati'ah, pages 51 and 52
15. "All Prophets and Messengers are worthless." Taqwiyatul leemaan, page 29

hell)." Bulghatul Hairaan, page 8
19. "Any Muslim who regards the Prophet or the friends of Allah
To be Allah's creations and bondsmen and yet makes them his advocates and
intercessors, calls on them for help, and gives nazr and niyaaz equals Abu Jahl in
apostasy." Taqwiyatul leemaan pages 7 and 27
20. “Maulana” Yousuf Ludhianwi taught a simple method to make interest (usury)
Halal. Borrow from a non-Muslim. (Masaail-e-Jadeedah)
21. Here is another pearl of wisdom from him: There was a Pir Sadiq from Ashraf Ali
Thanwi’s town. He taught his disciples “There is no God but Allah and Sadiq is His
messenger.” {Astaghfirullaah} The wise of the nation Thanwi declared that teaching
OK. (Imane Khalis, p.109, Hazrat Masood Uthmani)
22. The holy messenger comes to Mulla Qasim Nanotwi and other big Ullema of
Deoband, to learn Urdu. He also checks accounts of the Madrasah. (Numerous
references such as Haqaiq-o-Maarif, Deoband May 1975).
23. "Maulana” Yousuf Bannuri writes: The Prophet told my father, Zakaria! When
you fall sick I also fall sick. Hazrat Ali had come to conduct the marriage of my father
and mother. (In the 19th century!) (Iman-e-Khalis, pp. 7 and 8, Masooduddin Usmani,
Fazil Uloom Deenia)
Evidence Why you should not pray behind these people or associate or send you
children to there masjid/madrassa
When one starts taking his or her children to learn from such people, what happens is
that the respect that is nurtured in ones heart towards a teacher (as one of the basic
principles before one can learn is to respect ones teacher) leads a person to ignore any
faults. The danger is if these faults include disbelief or lead to disbelief then ones
greatest joy and assets have been ruined! Those who malign, disparage attribute lies to
the Prophet, peace be upon him, make their seat in The fire.
"The Prophet is preferable for the believers even to their own selves..." (33:6)
Surely, those who oppose GOD and His messenger, GOD afflict them with a curse in
this life, and in the Hereafter; He has prepared for them a shameful retribution. 33:57

3. "None of you becomes a believer until I am dearer to him than his children, his
parents and all mankind." (as reported by Bukhari and Muslim) Some versions add:
"his life, his wealth and his family"
The Prophet said: "he who deliberately lies about me let him seek his abode in Hell."
Mishkat 198
Imam Jafar Sadiq (alaihi wa salams) said: "Be careful of your knowledge and see
from whom you get it."
Abu Dharr said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, what if a man loves a people but
cannot join them?' He replied, 'Abu Dharr, you are with the one you love.' I said, 'I
love Allah and His Messenger.' He said, 'Abu Dharr, you are with the one you love.'"
Al-Adab al-Mufrad Al-Bukhari
To make a 'Bud Mazhab' (person with corrupt beliefs) whose beliefs have gone
outside the folds of Islam is a sin and to pray a Namaz behind him would make the
Namaz Makrooh-e-Tahrimi and would have to be repeated as this would be
Wajib[Durr-e-Mukhtar, Radd-ul-Mohtar, Alamgiri].
Namaz behind those Bad Mazhabs whose beliefs have gone out of the folds of Islam
such as Rafzi (Shiites, even if they only reject the fact of Hazrat Abubakr being a
Caliph or a Sahhabi or insults the Shaikhain Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhuma), those who
believe that the Holy Quran is man made, those who reject intercession or seeing
Allah on the day of Hashr,
or the punishment of the grave or the existence of Kiraman Katibeen cannot be
performed [Alamgiri, Guniya]. There is an even more stricter rule for those who call
themselves Muslims and in fact follow the Sunnats but still reject some important
beliefs of religion (Zarooriyat-e-Deen) and insult Allah and His Prophet or at least
believe those who insult, as Muslims, Namaz behind these is also strictly not allowed.
Respecting a person with incorrect beliefs has helped in destroying Islam
Furthermore it is not a co-incidence that these beliefs are misguided views, they are
the well-established belief of the Deobandis - the school of thought that the Tableeghi
Jamaat originates from. This has been shown with ample proofs. Please refer to the
online book, "The JAMAAT TABLEEGH and the Deobandis - A Critical analysis of
their Beliefs, Books and Dawah"
This article is an Enlightening insight in to the Scholars and Founding Fathers of
Deoband and their Beliefs, As Deoband have been looked upon as the good Guys and
the Barelwis as the Bad Guys,
However after reading the writings of the revered scholars and Founders of Deoband.
One is forced to conclude that this dangerous misinterpretation and twisting of Islamic
beliefs and practices has been deliberate, often repeated and has been purposely
concealed from the common man.
