An interesting quote from Pir Fazal 'Ali Qureshi (may Allah sanctify his secret): "I am not a student nor a murid of the Deobandis although you are my witness that my aqa'id (beliefs) are the same as the Deobandis. The Ahle Deoband are on the truth. Consider me a Deobandi in this regard." (Deeni Dastarkhwan - Maqamat-e-Fazliyya, vol. 3, p. 314)
