What is Athari aqida? It's not something any of the Akabir subscribed too or mentioned.

Deobandi scholars are tafwidis. This is in line with the Maturidi position where tafwid is given preference over ta'wil. We don't deny making ta'wil altogether though.

Being a plain tafwidi is a bit different from the position of Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah. So if this Athari aqidah is what Ibn Taymiyyah had believed in then Deobandis cannot be considered the same.
