The Uprising of Hussein ibn Ali (AS) from the Perspective of the Deobandi School of Thought

The uprising of Ashura is one of the significant events in history and has always been the focus of various perspectives of thinkers. Islamic analysts have different views about the nature of this movement. Among them, Deobandi, one of the influential contemporary schools of Sunni Islam in the subcontinent, has a moderate view on matters related to Ahl al-Bayt, especially the uprising of Ashura. Therefore, the nature of the Husseini movement from the perspective of the thinkers of this school has been discussed and examined in this article. This research, with a descriptive-analytical method and based on library studies, seeks to answer the question, what is the nature of Imam Hussein’s uprising from the perspective of the Deobandi school? The findings of this article show that from the perspective of the Deobandi school, Imam Hussein’s uprising had a reformist nature in various religious, social, and political dimensions. The theorists of this school have doubted and denied the “theory of rebellion and corruption,” considering Yazid ibn Mu'awiya as a partner in the murder of Imam Hussein.
