Most of what you have said here is true … and for those who wish to see the evidence it is here:
Answer: Darul Ifta Deoband India
Answer: Darul Ifta Deoband India
I personally disagree with the Deobandi position that it is right to consider Abdul Wahab Al-Najdi worthy of praise and I also think it is wrong for them to think of the position of Ahmad Raza Khan (RA) erroneous. When I said I still follow Deoband - I mean it in terms of their practices in the Hanafi madhab and not in their political positions regarding others. There are certain things I dislike about from the Barelvi school and do not find them in the core Islamic values of Sunnis from other countries … Ikhlaq is the quickest and highest sign of true guidance as well as adherence to Shar’iah.
In this sense I do not identify with either group nor differ from either completely … Note how I say things as “I view them, or believe this about them, etc …” rather than saying “They are this or that, or such and such IS the truth”
