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. 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. Įven 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. They consider themselves to be the continuation of Sunni Islamic orthodoxy before the rise of Salafism and Deobandi Movement.
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.
As the movement originated in South Asia most members of the movement are from Hanafi and Shafi'i 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 Barelvi movement ( Urdu: بَریلوِی, Barēlwī, Urdu pronunciation: ), 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, 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.
