“The Barelvi movement is also known as the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah.”

This is a very, very misleading statement that could potentially be divisive. As seen on the Wikipedia page for Sunni Islam, “ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah” is just a historic name for the Sunni branch of Islam. Every modern “movement” of Sunni Islam, including the Salafis and Deobandis, refer to themselves by this term while not always excluding other movements and traditions from being within it as well. 21fafs (talk) 00:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Shafi'i"

There's not a single piece of information, a single WP:RS source saying some Barelvis adhere to the Shafi'i school. The entire article only states the Hanafi school, to which all Barelvi scholars adhered (Ahmad Raza Khan and his family, Abdul Hamid Qadri Badayuni, Ahmad Saeed Kazmi, Amjad Ali Aazmi, Ilyas Qadri etc. and all others in the 'Notable scholars' section). Barelvi books such as Fatawa-i Razawiyya, Zujajat al-Masabih, Manaqib-al-Jaleela are all Hanafi law works and all Barelvi madrasas listed in the article are Hanafi, not a single Shafi'i reference! The claim that Barelvis in Southern India adhere to Shafi'ism is simply incorrect; Sufis in southern India do in fact adhere to the Shafi'i school, although they are not specifically Barelvis, such as Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad, E. K. Aboobacker Musliyar, Abdurahman Al Bukhari. There's a difference between regular Sufis and Barelvis. 39.62.223.58 (talk) 07:41, 5 November 2024 (UTC) [reply]
