The Aqeedah Of Barelvi Deviant Sect Of Islam

The Barelvi movement was founded by Ahmad Raza Khan who, after two failed attempts at establishing Islamic schools, finally succeeded in 1904 with the Manzar-e-Islam, is the first Islamic seminary of the Barelvi movement in Bareilly, India. Barelvis have several beliefs regarding Muhammad’s (pbuh) nature, which distinguish them from Deobandi, Salafi and Shia groups in South Asia. They consider the Prophet (pbuh) as human being but created from light like angels, rather than from clay like other human beings. The Prophet (pbuh) is present in many places at the same time. He (pbuh) is still witnessing all that goes on in the world. He (pbuh) has knowledge of that which is unknown, including the future. He (pbuh) has the authority to do whatever he desires as granted to him by God. They celebrate the Prophet’s birthday while Salafis don’t.
