But you know Imam Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) did not even approve of Tawassul let alone istigatha which is what your sect seems to preach. How do you reconcile this?

If you read the Sharh of Imam Al-Tahaawi by ابن أبي العز الحنفي

شرح الطحاوية لابن أبي العز الحنفي: وإن كان مراده الإقسام على الله، فذلك محذور أيضا، لأن الإقسام بالمخلوق على المخلوق لا يجوز، فكيف على الخالق؟! وقد قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: من حلف بغير الله فقد أشرك ـ ولهذا قال أبو حنيفة وصاحباه رضي الله عنهم: يكره أن يقول الداعي: أسألك بحق فلان، أو بحق أنبيائك ورسلك، وبحق البيت الحرام، والمشعر الحرام، ونحو ذلك حتى كره أبو حنيفة ومحمد ـ رضي الله عنهما ـ أن يقول الرجل: اللهم إني أسألك بمعقد العز من عرشك، ولم يكرهه أبو يوسف ـ رحمه الله ـ لما بلغه الأثر فيه

And for this reason Abu Hanifah and his two students detested that a person who is making supplication say: I ask You my the right of so and so or I ask you by the right of your Prophet…

Imam Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) was from the Salaf without question. He detested tawassul. Grave worship comes under istigathaa. It is inconceivable that a man who detests Tawassul would even think of permitting istigatha.

Can you deny this?

A particular type of tawassul was reported from Imam Abu Hanifa RadiAllahu Anhu for being disliked. I have heard its details in the past, and its not something which goes against Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaah. If memory serves me right the phrase that was prohibited was not venerative enough!

My research has found you would consider Islam and Muslims in our entirety to be shirk, if you were more willing to reveal yourself and speak with your religion. A complete Bidah and a reversal of Islamic thought

The Salaf were Sunnis like us Barelvis

I’ll post a video of what your likeminded people actually think of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal RadiAllahu Anhu.
