the same goes for ibn taymiyyah(r.a.) how many times did he change his view-aqeedah/fiqh e.t.c.? how many times did he make tuabah? salafi's today more than barelwi's are forcing us into a corner to accept their scholars and make takfir of the sufiyae kiram-deoband itself is a sufi oriented movement and as such we are expected to make takfir of our spiritual ancestors based on others uneducated narrow-minded outlook? our akabirren have gone through these sufiyas works in extremedetail and have accepted them and we accept our akabirren.these people expect us to forsake our links to the salaf and to adopt their manhaj.they will not rest untill we adopt their manhaj and forsake our salaf. was salam
