Question
Who are Deobandi?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
Deobandists is an adjective attributed to those who graduated from 
in Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and Islamic branches, and follows the school of Abu Mansoor Al-Maatureedi in belief and in the principles of Islam. However, it is affiliated to An-Naqshabandiyyah, Al-Jaashitiyyah and to Al-Qaadiriyyah As-Sahroodiyyah in its methodology and behaviour. It is well-known that this Al-Maatureedi and these Sufi groups have innovations and deviations, so it is an obligation on the Shaykhs, teachers, students and graduates of this school to get rid of these deviations and completely follow the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Prophet 
.
Among the objectives of this university is to preserve the religious teachings, to spread Islam, to refute the beliefs of the deviant groups and schools, and foreign cultures, and give importance to the spread of the Arabic language, as it is the means to understanding the magnanimous Islamic Law.
Allaah Knows best.
