Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines the Deoband movement and its approach to Islamic reform, focusing on its interpretation of iṣlāḥ (rectification). The Deobandis define reform as a return to the original principles of Islam and aim to remove “innovations” from belief and practice. They target shirk (polytheism) and bidʿa (innovation), particularly in Sufi practices, while affirming that Sufism, when properly understood, is essential to Islam. The movement emphasizes the role of the ʿulamāʾ (scholars) in educating the masses, using texts that distinguish between correct and incorrect beliefs.
