Sheikh ul Islam Shah Waliullah Deoband (ra)
The holy founder of Deobandism, a sub-branch of Naqshbandi Sunni Islam, and student of Imam Rabbani (ra) Shah Waliullah Deoband (ra) said:
"Dependance on the sainthood of the illustrious 12 Imams is one third of faith, as it is the 12 Imams who are the pivots of guidance in Tasawwuf. And since Tasawuf leads to Ihsan and since it is them (the 12 Imams) who are the pivots of that Science (Tasawuf), it is clear that it is the twelve Imams then who lead one to the perfection of faith (Ihsan)."
