The
Deobandis like to deceive the common public by claiming that they
uphold Tawhid and that they do not indulge in the grave worship that
has come to characterize the rival Barelwi sect. However, the reality
is that the difference between Deobandis and Barelwis is quite
superficial. Aside from the fact that they are both blind-followers
of the Hanafi school, blindly accept the fallacious Maturidi creed,
and adhere to the four Sufi orders (Naqshbandi, Qadiri, Chishti, and
Suhruwardi)...the Deobandis share the idea of grave veneration with
the Barelwis as well. To illustrate an example, read the following
incident which is claimed to be a miracle of the Deobandi 'elder'
Muhammad Ya'qub Nanautvi:
حضرت
مولانا کی ایک کرامت جو بعد وفات ہوئی
بیان فرماتے تھے کہ ایک مرتبہ ہمارے نانوتہ
میں جاڑہ بخار کی بہت کثرت ہوئی سو جو شخص
مولانا کی قبر سے مٹی لے جاکر باندھ لیتا
اسے ہی آرام ہو جاتا
Translation:“Molvi
Mu’een ud Deen Sahib was the eldest son of Hazrat Maulana Muahmmad
Ya’qub Sahib and he mentioned a Karamat of Hazrat Maulana (after he
passed away): he said that once in Nanotah the fever of Jarah spread
a lot, and whoever would take the sand at the grave of Maulana and
attach it, would get better, and they would take so much sand that
whenever we will put some, it would be finish almost at that time."
