Deobandis represent a group of scholars affiliated with the reformist Deobandi movement, which originated in the town of Darul Uloom Deoband in northern India. Founded in 1866, this movement sought to safeguard Islamic teachings amidst non-Muslim governance and societal changes. Emphasizing strict adherence to Islamic law and traditional scholarship, particularly in areas like hadith and fiqh, Deobandīs have established a global network of schools, primarily concentrated in South Asia. Their influential roles encompass teaching, imamship, mosque guardianship, preaching, writing, engaging in debates, and publishing religious literature, with Ashraf Ali Thanwi (1864–1943) being one of their most celebrated scholars.
