Then, he pursued BA (Hons) in Arabic and Masters in Comparative Religions and Islamic Studies from Jamia Millia Islamia [22][23]

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi has his own on different topics of vital relevance, which are very important and some of them are controversial among his contemporaries.

On Sufism

Dehlvi has written that the “Foundations of Sufism” are: Tawheed (oneness of God), Wahdatul wujud (unity of existence), ilmul yaqeen ( with firm faith), zikr (incantation), muraqaba (meditation), observance of taqwa (-consciousness) and tawba (repentance on sins), ikhlas (sincerity), tawakkul (contentment), sidq (truthfulness), amanah (trustworthiness), istiqamah (uprightness) and shukr (thankfulness).[24] However, Dehlvi opines that the soul and spirit of Sufism is dying out even at the Dargahs and Khanqahs (Sufi shrines), which imbibed an egalitarian tradition of inclusiveness.[25]

On -Sufi creed

Dehlvi endorsed the stand that “Ahluls Sunna wal Jama’ah [Sufi- Muslims] are the Ash’arites or Muturidis (adherents of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi’s systematic which is also identical to Abu Hasanal-Ash’ari’s school of logical thought). In matters of belief, they are followers of any of the four schools of thought (Hanafi, Shaf’ai, Maliki or Hanbali) and are also the followers of pure Sufism in doctrines, manners and [spiritual] purification.”[26]

About terrorism, radicalization and violent extremism[edit]

Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi has extensively written on terrorism, radicalization and violent extremism. He writes: “the ‘gun culture’ underpinned by a nefarious has been playing havoc in the spate of terrorist atrocities from Brussels, Paris, Pathankot to San Bernardino and lately in Orlando’s LGBT nightclub. The obnoxious act of violent extremism in Florida, as anywhere else in the world, is not just a law and order problem. Neither it is practically expedient to paint it as a political incident. The ‘gun culture’ coupled with an exclusivist, retrogressive and chauvinistic ideology is the actual stimulus for the extremist zealots to go haywire”.

On Counter-extremism

Dehlvi that just blocking the extremist, jihadist, pro-ISIS accounts on certain social platforms is not the solution. A well-thought-out, well-reasoned, coherent and effective counter-narrative against the extremist rhetoric is imperative, he avers.[27]

On

Dehlvi wrote that the country’s are distressed at the misleading stand of on suicide bombing.[28] Indian Muslims, both Sunnis and Shias, have deeper ideological problem with Zakir Naik. He also went on writing that Naik has been trying to lure the Indian Muslims, anchored in an age-old traditional Sufi Islam, into professing and practicing the pernicious of Salafism.[29]

On girls’ education

Dehlvi strongly encourages the education of women, in both the social and religious domains. He believes that girls’ education and cultural training are an integral part of inclusive development of a community. “There is no priority for men in relation to the right to education. Both are equally encouraged to acquire education. Indeed, all the Qur’anic verses which relate to education and are directed to both men and women alike. “When the Qur’an enshrined such a lofty status for women and accorded them that they could not otherwise even imagine in 7th century Arabia, why this discrepancy between the actual Qur’anic provisions for women and their sorry state of affairs in the Muslim today?”, he writes:[30]
