Abstract

The article analyzes the history of the formation of the school in Deoban, its scientific direction, as well as the evolution of religious creed and the general worldview based on the concept of ahl-hadith. At the same time, the general belief is described, in particular: their position on the basis of habari\mutashabiha and views regarding the concept of "iman",  comparative analysis based on the Maturidi school is given. In addition, the legal views of the Deoband school and books confirming these views are separately considered, and it is argued that all these books do not agree with the canonical texts of the Hanafi school, because these books are taught according to their curriculum for seven years. Also the article describes the authors of these fiqh books. In addition, the reasons for the shift of this school towards conservatism, despite its Hanafi direction, will be determined. Also, it is shown how the creed platform and the ideological pillar of the Deoband movement, that is, the knowledge of ahl-hadith, influenced its current doctrine, and the difference between its past and present is comparatively analyzed. In particular, the relationship between the scholars of the specified school and the Hanafi/Maturidi school is evaluated. Thus, the evolution of the Deoband school is determined and conclusion is made to what extent it corresponds to the principles of the Hanafi/Maturidi school, recognized in modern Kazakh society.
