This is absolutely true without any contention. Deobandis are two faced people. They show one face to people from Indian Sub-continent and one-face to Arab people. Live Example: Deoband (Deo-gandis*) invite Wahhabis and Salafis to Deoband, you can see here and you can find they were invited by Shaykh ul-Deogand Hussain Ahmed Tandwi (who later became Madani) sons and some of his sons went to the Wahhabi Salafi King How is that Daddy (Hussain Ahmed Madani) showed one face and sons (Mahmud, Arshad, Asjad, Asad) showed another face. Hussain Ahmad Tandwi (who later became Madani) says something about Wahabis and Salafis while his own blood sons and successors say something else. A Game which is adapted by new generation Deobandits of FaceBook. Mohammad Yasir, Zameelur Rahman, Abul Hasan Hussain Ahmed, Salman Nadvi, et cetera will write against Salafis and Wahhabis while Darul Uloom Deoband is issuing fatwas pro Salafi pro wahhabi and inviting them. You will never these criminals criticizing Taqi Uthmani or other senior Deobandis for their affiliation, love, and promotion of wahhabism. WHY? Because Two Faced People are Evil Narrated by Abu Hurairah; he said: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The worst of all people is the double-faced one, who comes to some people with one face and to others, with another face." [Bukhari, Book 89, Hadith 290] Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Among the worst of people is the one with two faces, he who comes with one face to these and another to those.” Source: Sahih Muslim 2526 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Imam Muslim عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي هَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ وَهَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ 2526 صحيح مسلم كِتَاب الْبِرِّ وَالصِّلَةِ وَالْآدَابِ بَاب ذَمِّ ذِي الْوَجْهَيْنِ وَتَحْرِيمِ فِعْلِهِ * Gand = Dirty, Filthy
All heretics claim to follow the creed of Ahlus Sunnah, so we know what "Salafi" Aqidah means. I am not aware of Abu Bakr al-Mulla, but the you could easily if he was truly sunni or not, by seeing his love for certain beliefs, practices, and scholars. Haven't you read on this message board, how some who claim to be sunni have been forwarding corrupt perennialist beliefs or perennialism. Read about Hamza Yusuf = Mark Hanson perennialism and buddhism, read about Dr Tahir Jhangvi, read about Hossein Nasr, Abdal Hakim Murad = Timothy J. Winters, Atabek Shukurov, Sulaiman Ahmad, et cetera they all claim to be adherents of Ahlus Sunnah same way like many fakes today claim to be Sufi and at the same time Salafi in creed which they say is the Athari creed. The word Salafi was never used by our scholars, did Imam al-Ghazali call himself Salafi? Did Imam Abu Hanifah call himself Salafi? The Salafi movement is recent movement which has many splinter sects including Deobandism, Tablighi Jamaat, Maududism, et cetera. Our religion is safer in the hands of a community of indisputable scholars than in the hands of a single or few contemporaries whose views are contrary to what is established through chain of transmission. I say to them, "For you is your religion and for me is my religion."
As Salāmu ʿAlaykum, The word Salafi has been hijacked by wolves in these times. I have a book by Shaykh Abū Bak al-Mullā (of Hijaz Sharif) in which the author is described to have 'Salafi' ʿAqīdah, but the translator notes that 'Salafi' here means adherence to the creed of the Salaf (Athari school of ʿAqīdah). This means they would consign the meanings of certain Ayah to Allāh ﷻ whereas later Muslims interpreted them. Generally, we don't take witness from our enemies so in the same way we wouldn't expect an ʿArab Sunni to understand us through the works of Ihsan Elahi Zaheer, neither should we try to understand others through the tongues of our enemies for we know they are liars and liars lie.
my personal experience tells me that the devbandits are worse, much much worse, than the wahabis. The most underhanded pieces of filth I have ever had the misfortune to know.
Another Example of Sufi turned into Salafi Wahhabi posted on a Deobandi Website Below is another example of a Sufi who has converted into Salafi Wahhabi Deobandi and this was mentioned of a Deobandi website. This is show you that a person can look "Sufi" from far and have lots of Ijazas and books authored but his beliefs could be corrupt and he could harm others. The above was taken from here
salam alaikum, You may have come across arguments, articles, and fb posts by several deobandi scholars [1] that they have nothing to do with Wahhabism and Salafism. This argument is just a bait to lure sunnis into their trap. It is true that Deobandis disagree on some points with Wahhabis and Salafis just like Salafis have several splinter sects (Madhkhalis, Haddadis, Qutbis, Ikhwanis, Yasir Qadhi, Hatim Awni, et cetera) Deobandis, Wahhabis, Salafis and various strands of mutations all agree and have a common theme, which is their claim of Shirk, Bidah and Kufr. This post is about Deobandis and Tablighi Jamaat. Here I will show you some examples to prove my argument. I am also ready for a debate with any of the Deobandi Molwis either live debate, paltalk, forums, message or through email. The beliefs of Sayyid Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki al-Shadhilli Sayyid Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki needs no introduction. His biography is posted everywhere as well as his beliefs. There is no difference between his beliefs and sunni beliefs which are: 1. Isthighatha through Prophets, Awliya and Salihin 2. Building structures over graves 3. Various Sufi practices such as Hadra Now, if Deobandis were not wahabis or salafis then they would have no objection labeling the above 1-3 as shirk, kufr and bidah. Here is the proof that Deobandis label the above as Shirk, Bidah, and Kufr. The above was taken from this site If you want to verify yourself what Deobandis have written you can see here Like any other heretic sects, who engage in treason, lies, deception and manipulation, please save all the posts for future references. You can never trust heretics, they delete, hide posts and even delete the whole websites.
