Q: I have a doubt in mind that maybe I'm on the wrong path being a Deobandi. I think maybe salafism or barelwiat maybe the right path. How can I be sure that Deobandiat is the right path on which today's Muslims should act as the salafees and the barelwis also present the Qur'an and the Hadith?
Q: I have talked to barelwis about the impermissibility of asking help from someone other than Allah Ta'ala like Auliyas. But they say that the verses revealed in the Quran about the impermissibility of asking someone other than Allah Ta'ala apply to idols only. How can I make them understand that it is for everyone except Allah?

Q: I would like to find clarity and closure on the school of 'aqidah that is ascribed to Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (RA) which is refered to as the Ahl al-Athar or the Atharis. What are the core differences between this school and the other two viz. the Asha'irah and the Maturidis? Is the Athari school that is claimed to be followed different to that followed by Imam ibn Hanbal and other early Hanbali 'ulama? A clear explanation on this issue is required as many are being confused and led astray by bringing up the Athari 'aqidah.
Q: I need to know the status of this oft-quoted hadeeth: " There is no better man than `Ali, and no sword better than Dhul-Faqar"
