Barelwi is historically the term for the residents of Bareilly, a small city in the North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. In modern usage, it usually refers to the followers of Imam Ahmed Rida Khan Barelwi, an important Muslim scholar of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Barelwis are Sunni Muslims.
The actual followers of Imam Ahmad Rida Khan - while including themselves in the Sunnis - indicate this particular attachment with words like Rizwi (or Razavi), Barakati, or Nuri - all of which refer to subdivisions of the Qadiri sufi lineage.
