The Bareilawi cult originated in India during the time of the British Raj. They were heavily influenced by Sufiism, Shiism, and Hinduism. The book examines their beliefs and rituals in depth. In particular they boast about their love for the Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam). This is not borne out by the
facts. It is not unreasonable to state that Bareilawiism is closer to Shi’ism than Ahlus Sunnah. This cult has always opposed AhlusSunnah by going beyond the limits laid down by Allah and His Messenger (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) and rebelliously partaking in innovations. Some of their deviant ideas include:

Supplicating and seeking help from other than Allah.
The belief that others along with Allah have Knowledge of the Unseen
Issues regarding the humanity of the Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam)
Exaggerated praise regarding the abilities of Prophets and Saints
Grave worship and building structures over them
Saint worship and their polytheistic beliefs regarding them
Seeking blessings from the figures, images, relics and talismans
Excessive indulging in innovated practices opposing the early Salaf
Their customs of religious festivals and the death anniversaries
Spreading superstitions and fairy tales
Distorting the meaning of Qur’anic verses and the Sunnah
Declaring Muslim scholars, leaders and politicians “Kafir”
