Deobandi, Barelvi &c
Hi everyone
Hope you can help me. I'm working on a research project and can't find the Islamic word for the different schools of thought, be they Deobandi, Barevi, Salafi &c. Basically, if you were trying to ask someone (in Urdu or Arabic, say) whether they were a Deobandi or a Barelvi or whatever what would the BLANK be in the following sentence: What BLANK are you?
(I suppose the analogy with Hinduism is that people might ask which caste you were, and the BLANK would be whatever the Hindi word for caste is.)
Hope I've explained that well (not sure I have), but hope you can help me and many thanks in advance.
Sam
