Abstract
The Wahhabi maintain that resorting to someone other than Godis association or Shirk and the doer will consider a non-Muslim. While other Muslim denominations, usually do not consider this act as Shirk or if nominally name it Shirk, it will not oust the Muslims from the Muslim community. So, unlike the Wahhabi school of thought, the Deobandi school do not consider resorting to someone other than Godas Shirk. What caused the Wahhabi label those resorting to someone other than God as non-Muslims is comparing the Muslims with pagans. Since the Deobandi do not accept this comparison, they do not oust the Muslims from the Islamic realm.
