This article needs a more accurate introduction. All I could suggest was this.

The Barelvi movement (Urdu: بَریلوِی, Barēlwī, Urdu pronunciation: [bəreːlʋi]), also known as Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaah (People of the Prophet's Way and the Community) which is generally considered by muslims to be the full form of the abbreviation Sunni, [1][2][3][4][5] is a Sunni movement that aims to defend traditional Sunni Islam with all its four schools of jurisprudence, the two schools of theology and the sufi tariqa orders from any attempt to reform them. As the movement originated in South Asia most members of the movement are from Hanafi and Shafi'i[6] schools of jurisprudence, Maturidism and Ash'arism schools of theology and the various tariqa orders of sufism that have a presence in South Asia such as Qadiriyya, Chisti order, Suhrawardiyya and Naqshbandi as well as many others. The movement is supported by the majority of muslims in Pakistan and India with over hundreds of millions of followers in South Asia and also in parts of Europe, America and Africa.[7][8][9] They consider themselves to be the continuation of Sunni Islamic orthodoxy before the rise of Salafism and Deobandi Movement.[10]

Even though Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi r of Qadiriyya Razavi branch of the Qadiriyya Barakati founded the movement, the movement itself is not to be confused with this particular branch of sufism as the movement consisted of supporters from most sufis in South Asia. The movement drew inspiration from the Sunni sufi doctrines of Shah Abdur Rahim (1644-1719) founder of Madrasah-i Rahimiyah and father of Shah Waliullah Dehlawi, Shah Abdul Aziz Muhaddith Dehlavi (1746 –1824) and Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi (1796–1861) founder of the Khairabad School.[11] The movement emphasizes the importance of sufism and practices such as veneration of saints that are associated with traditional Sunni Islam in addition to also following sharia rules while reform movements such as Wahhabism and the Deobandi movement preach against this emphasis and support limiting such practices in order to be careful about not adding too much to Islam other than sharia rules which they believe what Islam was like in the earliest times.[12][13] [14][15][16] Mmuslimdunya (talk) 08:51, 21 June 2023 (UTC) Mmuslimdunya (talk) 08:51, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I revised my suggestion and I believe this is even better:

The Barelvi movement (Urdu: بَریلوِی, Barēlwī, Urdu pronunciation: [bəreːlʋi]), also known as Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaah (People of the Prophet's Way and the Community) which is generally considered by muslims to be the full form of the abbreviation Sunni, [17][18][19][20][21] is a Sunni movement that aims to defend traditional Sunni Islam with all its four schools of jurisprudence, the two schools of theology and the sufi tariqa orders from any attempt to reform them. As the movement originated in South Asia most members of the movement are from Hanafi and Shafi'i[22] schools of jurisprudence, Maturidism and Ash'arism schools of theology and the various tariqa orders of sufism that have a presence in South Asia such as Qadiriyya, Chisti order, Suhrawardiyya and Naqshbandi as well as many others. The movement is supported by the majority of muslims in Pakistan and India with over hundreds of millions of followers in South Asia and also in parts of Europe, America and Africa.[7][8][9] They consider themselves to be the continuation of Sunni Islamic orthodoxy before the rise of Salafism and Deobandi Movement.[23]

Even though the movement initially arose as a reaction to movements such as Wahhabism and the Deobandi movement, they claim to represent traditional sufi oriented Sunni Islam who form the majority of muslims in South Asia and whose history includes mass conversion of hindus into Islam by sufism and conquests by the Delhi Sultanate, Mughal Empire and its sultans such as Aurangzeb, riots and persecution resulting from support for partition of India (Deobandi movement was against the partion so in a way avoided violence), Kashmir conflict, 2002 Gujarat riots and everyday persecution of muslims in today's India. According to India the movement has a history of conflict with China also because of Pakistan and Rohingya people's post partition conflicts with Bangladesh (Bangladesh Liberation War) and Myanmar (Rohingya genocide) and India says it is because of this reason also that most Bangladeshis chose to convert to the Deobandi movement. This claim by India about the movement having conflict with China also has been proven to be true and is now widely accepted but what has become contested and controversial is India's claim that the movement has the most serious problems with Wahhabism and the Deobandi movement and also with those christians and jews who believe in religion because of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and because Sunni muslims in South Asia and globally are critical of it as Palestinians are adherents of traditional Sunni Islam who support sufism. It is said that the movement is expressive about its differences with Wahhabism and the Deobandi movement and has always been critical of jewish and sometimes United States and christian support for the long standing and very serious Israeli–Palestinian conflict but these are in no way comparable in extent with the conflicts that Sunni Islam had with India, Europe and other regions including China where polytheism and irreligion is practiced.

It is not at all accurate to equate “ahl al sunnah wal jama’ah” with a particular movement. 21fafs (talk) 00:22, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brelvis and sufism

[edit]

Similarities Barelvis and Sufism share some similarities, as Barelvis draw heavily from Sufi practices and beliefs. Both emphasize the importance of the love for the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and veneration of saints. They also value spiritual practices like zikr (remembrance of God), and Mawlid celebrations (commemorations of the Prophet's birthday). However, Barelvis are a specific Sunni sub-sect, whereas Sufism is a broader mystical and spiritual tradition within Islam that is not limited to any particular sect.

Dissimilarities Farrukhwahla (talk) 19:03, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

[edit]

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]
