The Deobandi School

The Deobandi school is a Sunni Islamic movement that originated in India in the late 19th century, emphasizing traditional religious education, Quranic study, and adherence to classical Islamic principles. It seeks to preserve orthodox practices and promote a conservative, reformist approach to Islam, focusing on personal piety and religious scholarship. The movement has spread widely across South Asia and beyond, influencing many Islamic institutions and communities. While primarily a religious and educational framework, Deobandi thought also informs cultural and social perspectives within its adherents.
