1.DEOBANDIS. Deobandis is a term used for a revivalist
movement in Sunni Islam (Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah). It is
centered primarily in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and
has recently spread to the United
Kingdomand has a presence in South Africa. The name derives
from Deoband, India, where the
school Darul Uloom Deoband is situated. The movement was inspired by the spirit
of scholar Shah Waliullah (1703–1762), while the
foundation of Darul Uloom Deoband was The movement
developed as a reaction to British colonialism in India, which was
believed by a group of prominent Indian scholars — consisting of Rashid Ahmad Gangohi,Muhammad Yaqub Nanautawi, Shah Rafi
al-Din, Sayyid Muhammad Abid, Zulfiqar Ali, Fadhl al-Rahman Usmani and Muhammad Qasim Nanotvi — to be
corrupting the Islamic religion. They therefore founded an Islamic seminary
known as Darul Uloom Deoband. From here the Islamic
revivalist and anti-imperialist ideology of the Deobandis began to
develop. Gradually Darul Uloom Deoband became the second largest focal
point of Islamic teachings and research after the Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. Through
organisations such as Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and Tablighi
Jamaat its ideology began to spread and the graduates of Darul Uloom
Deoband from countries like Saudi Arabia, China and Malaysia opened up
thousands of madrasas throughout South Asia, specifically in parts of
Afghanistan and Pakistan.
A large group of Deobandi scholars opposed Pakistan being
established along sectarian lines, particularly the demands of Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Muslim League for the Partitionof British
India into Muslim and non-Muslim sections.[8] The
Deobandi movement advocated a notion of a composite nationalism according to
which Hindus and Muslims constituted one nation.

The Deobandi movement sees itself as a maslak, or scholastic tradition, situated within orthodox Sunni Islam. It grew out of the Islamic scholastic tradition of Medieval Transoxania and Mughal India, and it considers its visionary forefather to be Shah Waliullah al-Dihlawi, the celebrated Indian Islamic scholar and thinker of the eighteenth century.
2.SHIAS:The Shia represent the second
largest denomination of Islam and adherents of Shia Islam
are called Shias orthe Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shi'a is
the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي)meaning
"followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's
son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's
successor in theCaliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest
branch of Shia Islam and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to
Twelvers by default. Shia Muslims constitute 10-20% of the world's Muslim
population and 38% of the Middle East's entire population.
Shi'i Islam is based on the Quran and the message
of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded
by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha).[3][4] Shia
consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and
as the first Imam. In the centuries after the death of Muhammad, the Shia
extended this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl
al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals
among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special
spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other
quasi-divine traits.
Although there are myriad Shi'i subsects, modern Shi'i
Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis andZaidis.

4.Ahle Hadith.
Ahl al-Hadith :The people of hadith) or (Așḥāb al-ḥadīṯ, is a term that has been used to refer to many Islamic movements (both historical and modern) that emphasize the use of hadith in Islam. It refers to the adherent's belief that they are not bound by taqlid (as are Ahl al-Rai, literally "the people of rhetorical theology"), but consider themselves free to seek guidance in matters of religious faith and practices from the authentic hadith which, together with the Qur'an, are in their view the principal worthy guide for Muslims.
In the contemporary sense, it refers to a reformist movement.The term Ahl al-Hadith is often used interchangeably with the termSalafi or as a branch of the latter movement.The Ahl al-Hadith are often called Wahhabis by their adversaries, though the movement itself claims to be distinct from Wahhabism. The movement has the most adherents in the Indian subcontinent, where it possesses some notable distinctions from the Salafi movement, most of whose adherents are found in the Arab world andIndonesia. The combined number of adherents in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are estimated to range between 59-64 million.In the modern era, the movement draws both inspiration and financial support from Saudi Arabia
