ShaikhSiddiqui Barelvi (810 words)
The Barelvi school was founded by Ahmad Raza Khan (1856-1921) of Bareilly within the Hanafi school of jurisprudence.
The Barelvi school was founded to defend the existing beliefs of Muslims of South Asia that were deeply influenced by Sufism and incorporated many unorthodox beliefs against the reformation movements influenced by Hanbali school that emphasized Sharia and Qur'an.
For the Barelvis, (who are mostly from the Pakistan province of Punjab) the holy Prophet is a superhuman figure whose presence is all around us at all times; he is Hazir (present); he is not Bashar (material or flesh) but Nur (light).
