My brother, be careful in how you speak about your father and to him. Give him sincere advice but most important of all make dua for him. You must realise that for some of us, our parents are not Muslim at all and some of them, despite best efforts, left the world in that state. Ultimately, what else can you do? If someone is firm upon following misguidance then there is little to be done. Do not become frustrated and maintain good relations with your father.
He already trusts and listens to the sunni scholars brother. As for "debating" I used the wrong word I would say I advise him. What is this that I have to somehow brainwash my dad to love sunnism when he already is sunni and follows tariqa. Again thanks for the hidden support of deobandis from yourself. Yes but even then doesn't wanna travel for the mosque No my problem is he knows there aqidah is wrong but still prays behind them. I won't leave it because I don't want my family praying behind deviants. Thanks for the advice though

Forget about the deobandi imam if you're not knowledgeable yourself. In fact, it seems like you spend your time debating your dad which might have left him frustrated and if anything, it might make him less inclined to listen to you and not more. It's better to remain silent on things sometimes and try to influence him in a more subtle way... Give him general sunni lectures to watch on various other topics, then maybe he'll develop more trust in the sunni scholars in general, for example. You have to lay the groundwork, which can take time
Assalamualaikum warahmatallahi wabarakatuh. My dad is sunni and doesn't hold deobandi beliefs. I have debated with my father on attending the deobandi mosques for salah and he says we can pray behind any Muslim. I told him about fatawa ridwiyyah and even clips from shaykh asrar rashid stating praying behind deobandis is not permissible and shaykh mubeen raza stating that the scholars of misguidance are lower then the sunni laymen as the sunni lay person has correct aqidah. I even had references from our own sunni imams in our community regarding it but My father says the deobandi masjid is closer so it's easier to go to and the sunni mosque is far. I pray salah in sunni mosque it's a 20 min walk and my dad in deobandi mosque. What further disturbs me is him praising the imams of the deobandi mosques when they say allah can lie and saying ya rasoolullah is shirk. I told my father they even have magic In there books . He has had enough and wants me to debate with the wobbler imam of the local deoband mosque. What to do?.
