The Deobandi movement developed as a reaction to the British colonialism in India, which was believed by Muslim theologians to be corrupting Islam. Fearing its consequences, a group of Indian Hanafi Islamic scholars (Ulama) led by Maulana Qasim Nanotwi founded an Islamic seminary known as Darul Uloom Deoband. It is here that the Islamic revivalist and anti-British ideology of the Deobandis began to develop.
Gradually, through organisations such as Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and Tablighi Jamaat, their influence began to spread, and hundreds of schools and Darul Ulooms affiliated with Deoband sprouted. Notable Hanafi seminaries of Deobandi school include: Nadwatul-Ulama in Lucknow, India, Darul Uloom Karachi, Karachi, Jamia Binoria [1]Karachi, Jami'ah Ashrafiyah, Lahore, Pakistan.
Early Deobandi scholars include Sheikh Qasim Nanotwi, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi, Sheikh Sayyid Husain Ahmed Madani, Sheikh Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Sheikh Mohammad Ilyas Kandhalawi Dehlawi, Sheikh Ubaidullah Sindhi, Sheikh-Ul-Islam Zub’dat-Ul-Hukama Hakeem Mian Ghulam Jilani and Sheikh Muhammad Zakariya al-Kandhalawi.
Other prominent adherent of the past include Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, who led the funeral prayer for the founding father of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
