The DVOI - Desi Version of Islam

Re: The DVOI - Desi Version of Islam

Here are some more:

  • Marriage with Quran, mostly in Sindh
  • Honor killings (under the name of Islam yet Islam has nothing to do with it)
  • Walking the bride under quran when she leaves (rukhsati)
  • Asalawaats asalam u aleika ya rasool lalaaa type sayings before and after azaan
  • not reading surah fateha behind the imam
  • placing hands at or below navel when standing for prayer
  • hardening graves
  • khaataams (hiring other people to read quran for your dead loved ones) kiraye ka sawaab!

Almost all of the above are very common among brailvi/shia/sufi/naqsabandi folks.
