Reason for the success and survival of the Institution despite

Government opposition

1. Piety of the leadership

2. Commitment and devotion of the leaders to their cause

3. Integrity and credibility of the leadership.

4. Division of work.

1. Madrassah: Wafaq al Madaris

2. Preaching: Tablighi Jamaat

3. Politics: Jamiat al Ulama-i-Islam

Maslik(Track) of Deuband

The established religious order had made too many compromises with its

foreign environment and therefore Islam needed to be purified of these

foreign elements.

To live out the pure Islamic tradition they hold close Taqlid(acceptance of the

old interpretations) and rejected ijitehador reinterpretation of Islamic

precepts to accommodate the changing times.

It should also be noted that they are strict adherents to the Hanafi school of

thought.

Adherence to the outlook (mashrab) of its founders Mawalana Mohammad

Qasim Nanutavi and Mawlana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi.
