Don't the barelwi's also consider Mujaddid Alf Thani (RA) a legitimate scholar and take his opinions on things? I'm pretty sure they consider Shaykh Raza Khan his 'successor' in a way... how do they explain away these statements?

The barelwis' claim of being true inheritors of Mujaddid Alf-e-Thani and Shah Waliullah (along with their claim of being true conveyors of the Hanafi madhab), is almost as hollow as their claim of having love for the Prophet

whilst relegating his beloved Sunnah in preference to actions not found in the Sunnah.

The Ahl al-Bid’ah tend to use one of two methods when interpreting the statements of the two Mujaddids:

1)They claim, without manuscriptural evidence, that their works have been fabricated and forged. Nobody should access their works except through the filters of the deviant group e.g. only those parts that are not in conflict with barelwism has escaped tampering.

This tactic allows any deviant group to lay claim to any scholar in history. It also implies that Allah sends a reviver, a signpost through which the Ummah can be set straight again, only to allow the reviver’s works to become inaccessible.

2)They claim, without sound basis, that Mujaddid Alf-e-Thani and Shah Waliullah have erred and/ or are deviants.
