The Barelvi movement (Urdu: بَرَلَوِیْ جَمَاَعَتْ) also known as Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat is a revivalist movement in the Sunni Islam in South Asia.[1] It is influenced by Sufism and named after Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi, a Hanafi Islamic scholar from Bareilly district of Uttar Pradesh.[2][3][4][5] People connected with the movement follows Hanafi school of jurisprudence and Maturidi school of theology.[1]
The Barelvis have been compared to the Nahdatul Ulama of Indonesia; however, the Barelvis are generally loyal to Hanafi fiqh whereas Nahdatul Ulama staunchly follow Shafi'i fiqh.[6]
