According to the outside world and media, it is a form or sect of Islam that goes back to Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulawahab. But to Saudis, especially the central region it is a sub-tribe of the Tameem tribe which coincidentally Sheikh Mohamed and I both belong to.
To set the record straight, no Saudi calls himself Wahbi unless they belong to the sub-tribe I mentioned above. To us Sheikh Mohamed was just another famous big sheikh who also happened to be into politics. He did not start a new Islamic sect. What he did do was educate people in the central region. The central region is practically an out of the way desert. Sheikh Mohamed was born here in Al Uyyanah, not far from Riyadh. He travelled to Makkah, Medina and Iraq to study Islam and then he came back and taught his people. At that time, people here were illiterate, superstitious and many had forgotten or never learned the basics of Islam. There are even stories about paganism and idol worshipping. So he came back to teach people. And he also made a pact with an ancestor of Al Saud, that he would take care of the religion and Al Saud would take care of bringing unity and government to our people.
Sheikh Mohamed, contrary to popular western belief, was not an ultra conservative hell bent against women and human rights. He barely delved into these issues. He had religiously bigger issues to take care of with wiping out paganism and the worship of saints and reeducating people on how to pray! He was also busy stifling the spread of Shiaism. His main focus was to resume the monotheism condition of Islam. He did such a great job that by the time he was through, the region had all the basics of Sunni Islam down. So much so that for the next two centuries, many many so-called sheikhs sadly had nothing better to do but twiddle their thumbs and create petty fatwas. For example, one that I came across written in the late eighties, early nineties that women should be discouraged from watching soccer matches on TV because the excitement of seeing men in shorts running around is too much for her fragile emotional health. That was a FATWA!
I digress, back to the term Wahabi. This is definitely an outsider’s term. And to those who the term refers to, it is meaningless. It isn’t even derogatory. It has no meaning outside of lineage and tribal names. There is no Islamic sect called Wahabi and Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulawahab did not create a new Islamic perspective. He was just a famous and notable figure in Saudi Arabian history.
So what Islamic sect does the central region and the government follow? It is Sunni and we strictly follow Sheikh Ahmed bin Hanbil and Ibn Taiymiah, both of whom came long before Mohamed bin Abdulwahab. Religiously speaking we call our selves Hanabillah. The next time you hear someone say “those crazy Wahabis” please correct them and say “they’re actually crazy Hanabillahs”.
Nice post.
It annoys me when I hear this term also as I have read Ibn Abdul Wahhab’s ‘Kitab at-Tawhid’ and of course there is nothing crazy or extreme in there, just simple deductions based on Qur’an and sunnah and of course he did a huge amount to bring this region away from the Jahil practices that were prevalent at that time. Actually I live a couple of minutes from Old Dir’iyyah which is where he established a kind of dawa centre in partnership with King Sa’ud.
SALAM BRO AND SIS, (YA AKHI WA UKTIH)
ACTUALLY FOR ME I REALLY ENJOYED THE SISTERS POST AND IT GAVE ME MORE KNOWLEDGE ON THE WORD WAHABI.
BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRACE IT LONG AGO AND I EVEN WANTED TO TRAVEL TO SEARCH FOR A WAHABI TO EXPLAIN TO ME, BUT THANK GOD I AM NOW SATISFIED WITH THE SISTERS POST ALHAMDULLILLAH.
THERE WAS ONCE AN ARAB WAHABI MAN WHO CAME TO OUR LAND LONG AGO IN NIGERIA, THEN MY PEOPLE WERE NOT REALLY PRACTICING ISLAM BUT PAGANISM AND AFTER HE CAME , HE MARRIED A LADY FROM NY TRIBE AND CONTINUED HIS JOURNEY. HE WAS CALLED SHEIKH ABDURAHMAN. AND THE WIFE GAVE BIRTH AND NAMED THE CHILD ABDURAHAMAN ON THE REQUEST OF THE ARAB HUSBAND, THE BOY WAS HALF CAST AND GREW UP WITH A SPECIAL SPIRITUAL SAINTLY BEHAVIOUR AND WHEN HE HAD LEARNT THE QURAN FROM THE OTHER SUB ARAB TRIBES (FULANIS) IN OUR VILAGE HE BEGAN TO PREACH LIKE HIS FATHER AND HE REALLY HELP THE VILLAGE AND TODAY HIS MOSQUE IS IN MY VILLAGE AND ANY PRAYERS PERFORMED THERE IS SAID TO BE ANSWERED. AS MANY PEOPLE CAME FROM THOUSANDS OF PLACES VISIT THE MOSQUE. ALLAHU AKBAR .
SHEIK ABDURAHMAN…
Assalaamu alaikum.
Learn to love the most beloved to Allah Azzawajal, the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam and you will surely begin to recognise Allah Azzawajals blessings, you will NEVER EVER commit shirk if you have a spiritual guide/teacher/murshid/pir/shaykh who has an “ijaza” in one of the four Sufi orders which are spiritually linked to the messenger of Allah Azzawajal, if your heart is full of arrogance and you try and interpret the Quran and Hadiths yourself then it is a known fact you will be misguided, im not going to comment on ibn taymiyyah because it would sound biased but I have discovered the truth alhamdulillah and I have peace in my heart now.
what has been left to be mentioned in Islam by the Prophet (pbuh) so Abdul wahab would correct actually Abdul wahab was a puppet in the hands of jews abdul wahab was planted to destroy the Islam with the help of an Idiot called saud basically saud was a dacoit.
Thanks. It is funny how the media’s superficial knowledge can sometimes snowball into “facts”.
My great great grandfather actually knew Shaikh Abdul Wahab – he met with him several times in Najd itself!. You will see in many of Shaikh Abdul Wahab’s writing quotations and references to Shaikh Siddique Hasan Al Qanuji.. and vice versa. 3-4 books of my GGGrandfather have been published by Imam University and are available at Jareer. He has also explained this term Wahbism. It actually started in India. Where there was a variety of Sects.. My grandfather was ruler of a State and he implemented the Sharia that WAS implemented here and so was also called wahabi by the Shias and other sects who wanted to dance around graves and sing lovely songs about Sahabas..He wanted them to work and progress and be united in belief.
They called him WAHABI.. ( now I can tell you who came up with that, but I will not – it will lead to lots of bla bla).
He said: I am Hussainy from Syedna Hussain ibn Ali.. Abdul Wahab is a different tribe. But, of course, with time.. twists and turns.. politics and thus: Wahabism.. lool.
Good post.. we have been saying the same for the past 4 generations.. no one gets it!..
The purpose of bothe Shaikh Abdul Wahab and my forefather was to establish one thing: TAWHEED. Worship of ONE Allah instead of idol worship and grave worshipping and other forms of worship which limit the mind and not enable it to grow. What a shame.. that is called a SECT!..
Oi, when you say Tawheed is about worshipping God, there is something you forgot to say that you MUST say it, which is believing in AlHabeeb Muhammad “alyh alsalat wa alsalam” to be the messenger of God! These two parts are so associated together and no one can stand on its own. Be careful!
Riyadh Writer, if you are referring to Nawab Siddiq Hasan Khan of Bhopal, India as your late GGGrandfather, then i’m afraid he was born 1832 CE and Muhammad bin AbdulWahhab died in 1792 CE so they could not have met. However, Nawab Siddiq did mention M. bin AbdulWahhab in several of his books when discussing the difference between the movement in Najd and the Ahl-e-Hadith movement of Hind, as people began accusing him of being a follower of M. bin AbdulWahhab (i.e. a “wahhabi”). Nonetheless, I agree that they both called to monothiesm. Anyone who thoroughly investigates this subject, will find – in my opinon -, that both the Najdi movement and the Ahl-e-Hadith movement were revivalist and revolutionary movements – and not a sect.
Whatever the historical debate is , it doesn’t change the fact that all these characters are sons of Laanati Yazid. They idolise him as their saviour.
“Whatever the historical debate is , it doesn’t change the fact that all these characters are sons of Laanati Yazid. They idolise him as their saviour.”
How immature.
Thanks for this insightful post; I will definitely be cautious in the future not to refer to Wahhabism as a way of describing Saudi religious beliefs.
I really liked the humor in the post. I lived in saudi for 5 yrs, only recently moved to Europe, and all along I also thought part of saudi is wahabi, but I also knew it followed Hanbali madhab.
Thanks for the interesting explanation !!!
That was nice to read. It was indeed the “genetically” bit that had me confused.
Being used to hearing the term Wahabi as applied to “followers of Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab” by outsiders, I just didn’t ‘get it’
. But thank you for the explanation. So you’re Sheikh Mohammed’s tribe-mate 
!
(And, oh, Saudis are not the only people who get called ‘Wahhabi’. In the Sub-continent, you can find people using the term ‘Wahhabi’ for anyone who appears ‘rigid’ or ‘strict’ in their beliefs (according to the observer) – some ‘Barelvis’ use the term for ‘Salafis’, ‘Tablighis’ and ‘Deobandis’ – very odd and amusing if you know that the ‘Salafis’ lump all ‘Barelvis’, Tablighis and Deobandis together as ‘innovators’ of the highest order.)
I have never heard either term used, but I feel pleased to be set straight anyway! Thank you for your information and for your blog. I really like it.
Sheikh Muhammed Ibn Abdul-Wahhab (rahimahullah) was a mujaddid (renewer/reviver of the Deen) at his time. Like SaudiWoman mentioned he aided the eradication of acts of shirk (polytheism) in the region (may Allah reward him)…
Thank you Saudi Woman for writing this post.
-Scribbler
Very good and informative post, SaudiWoman. I think I’ll just save the link of this post and give it to anyone who confuses the term.
I remember…. during my first few weeks in the states, years and years ago… I met an Egyptian guy at the local mosque, and i introduced myself as Nader from Saudi Arabia. He asked me “Are you a wahabi”? Back then, I didn’t know what that meant, so I said I don’t know. He said.. ohh.. you’re from Saudi Arabia, you must be one. I said ok, if you say so. So I turn my back to him and he goes and asks another guy about me, while I still could hear everything. The guy told the Egyptian man my full name, and then the Egyptian guy comes to me running and saying “you are a wahabi!” دا انتا وهابي!!, because I happen to belong to the same tribe as Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulwahab!
من میخواهم از اعتقادات شما آگاه شوم
People call saudis as WAHABI because they follow Abdul wahab najdi’s teachings. Every body knows that all saudis are not from Abdul wahab najdi’s TRIBE.
What is wrong with his teachings? Be Specific.
The poster didnt say there is something wrong with his teachings but if someone feels he’s following something wrong he thinks the whole world is on to him lol…
Read the book, it is a very interesting book about how a british spy used Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab an-Najdi to form the deviated sect of Wahabi aka Salafi. It shows us the British plan to destroy Islam in 21 specific ways. This is a MUST READ for every muslim. It also goes into detail on how they created other deviated sects mostly in India.
You can read it for free here: http://www.hakikatkitabevi.com/downl…BritishSpy.pdf
Brother Asalamulaikum
The book you reffered here is a nice story which has nothing to do with the Quran and Sunnah.This book says that Muhhamad ibn Abdul wahhab(rahimuhullah) was a british spy(naozubillah) but i dont talk about conspiracy theories tell me what in his literal or transmitted works goes against the Quran and the Sunnah and you will find out that he was indeed a reviver of the sunnah a mujtahid and also want to add that please read the books of people before accusing them…
What do you think of someone who gives permissions to kill someone else when the Americans wanted to have a deal for oil??
The book cannot be genuine. If the spy who supposedly wrote all that really belonged to the 18th century, then the style of writing would have been very different.
LOL!! that book is nothing but a huge massive hoax. the author didnt even get the dates right hahahahaha! sadly, such propaganda is consumed and believed by DUMB ppl who have no understanding
even further, the ABSURD claims written in that FORGERY are completely DESTROYED if u read the letters written by Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab (R) HIMSELF which are still available today in Saudi Arabia. get real you spoons!
So that is why now the west has helped install Salafi/muslim brotherhood to power in nations that were enemies of Saudi Arabia… hmmm.
you forgot to say that they consider all other Muslims heretics. Y
ou forgot to say that they require their women to cover fully (head to toe, only a little slit for the eyes so that they can see where they are being led by thier men).
And what about education , science etc??
And what is wrong with saints and Shiism?
Niqab has nothing to do what so ever with Imam Abdul Wahab. All 4 madhabs consider Niqab to be obligatory, Hanafis do have provisions for exceptions.
No. Only one madhab considers niqab as an obligation.
http://www.muhajabah.com/niqabdalils.htm
She explains why niqab is not fard (obligatory
Abu Rumaisa,
You should totally research more about your statement. There is a book by Alshaikh Alalbani that seems to me a good book regarding this particular topic, its clled “arradu almufhem …” I think it’ll be worth your time.
This must be a time-honored misunderstanding, as I learned about the conservative brand of Islam, Wahhabism, when I was lived in Saudi Arabia in the seventies, a teenage dependent of an American Aramco employee. I don’t dispute the facts as you have presented them, but I do think it is a shame that Saudi society is so closed that a foreigner can live there for years without really getting to know Saudi people at all. I just found this blog – looking forward to making up for lost time.
did you ever put an effort into it? Learn arabic in all these years? Talk to people?
Saudi’s are shy by nature. Engage them and see what happens..
Thats funny. I just happen to be studying this particular topic in Islam and its Empires.
Of course, your right on all of it!

Actually,
“head to toe, only a little slit for the eyes so that they can see where they are being led by thier men).”
Covering is an Islamic practice. The Saudi women do not have to wear niqab (the covering for the face). they do however have to wear hijab and the abaya.
“And what about education , science etc??”
Women are not legally prevented from an education in Saudi Arabia.
“And what is wrong with saints and Shiism?”"
The veneration of saints IS outlawed in KSA because they think that it is a form of shirk (worshipping someone other than Allah). The issue between Shias and Sunnis is mainly political. There are other countries (Bahrain) in thr Gulf where it is practiced.
Educate yourself before spewing venom.
anthrogeek10
You state “The veneration of saints IS outlawed in KSA because they think that it is a form of shirk (worshipping someone other than Allah).”
You mean like mohammad… or the black meteorite you all turn to to pray 5 times a day.
These DEOBANDI and WAHABI fanatics should be dealt with firmly.Root cause of current terrorrism are DEOBANDI and WAHABI fanaticts.
WRONG AGAIN!
The root cause of terrorism is Ikhwan Al muslimeen from Egypt.
I don’t think that you should randomly accuse people of terrorism. I can just imagine a loooong chain of posts from here going “No its al-Qaeda!” “No it’s the Irish!” “No it’s the Saudis!” “No it’s the Sudanese!” “No it’s the Americans!”
See?
Hello RW do the Ikhwan trace back to Saudi?
Jamal is right.The muslims are killing the muslims in Asian countries , and it is bad sign for Islam.The Doebandi & Wahabi preach jihad , this will not propagate Islam but will perish it
The term wahhabi was first used by Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab’s brother Sulaiman in his book “Ash Shaw’iqul Ilahiyah firraddi all Wahabiyah”.
The term was also adopted by the Mufti of Mecca, Sheik Sayid Ahmad Zaini Dahlan who had a personal encounter with the wahhabi bandits when they conquered Mecca. His book entitled “Ad Durarus Saniyah firraddi alal Wahabiyah” has the term wahhabi.
The problem with this movement was its penchant for declaring those who do not follow them as kufur or non believers. They spend to much time in semantic, redefining what constitute bida’ah (innovation) and shirk (or polytheism), and label their opponents, including those who follow the imam madhab guilty of such practice. It was an effective way to identify an enemy and destroy them. The employment of mutawwa is a manifestation of these wahhabi philosophy.
Off course these movement regard the label wahhabi as derogatory because it is associated with its dark past.
Realising this pitfall of promoting distorted version of Islam King Abdullah has recently introduced reform which has now include the madhab scholars in its Ulema Council.
The Wahabis, who call themselves Salafis, are a group who had
appeared in the last few centuries and hold beliefs contrary to the
Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah.
They try to pull the wool over our eyes by affiliating themselves
with the Salaf (Sahabah and Tabi’en) but in effect their beliefs and
practices are completely in contradictory with those of the Salaf.
The Wahabis are in essence Mujassimah (anthropomorphists-Those who
attribute
a body to Allah Ta’ala).
They attribute a hand, leg, face etc to Allah Ta’ala, while the
illustrious Ulama of the Ahlus sunnah wal Jama’ah hold fast to the
belief that Allah knows best the meaning of these words.
Similar is the case with all the sifat (qualities) etc in the Quran
ie. the Wahabis take them on there apparent meaning , claiming that
interpreting the Quran is not permissible, while we say that Allah
knows best what it means or at times we interpret it in a suitable
manner.
-The Wahabis reject the permissibility of using a deceased person as
a intermediary in dua, while we hold that it is permissible.
-The Wahabis reject the Ambiyaa being alive in their graves
- The Wahabis hold that Allah is really resting on His throne in the
sky, while we hold that this is from the Mutashabihaat.(Those unclear
statements hose meaning is only known to Allah).
- The Ulama of the Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaa’ah disagree with the
destruction of numerous blessed historical landmarks by the Wahabis.
-The Ulama of the Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaa’ah hold that taqleed of one
mazhab is necessary, while the Wahabis generally do not adhere to a
mazhab and claim that following one imam blindly is Bidah and shirk.
-There are dozens of other differences.
The Wahabis are vehement opponents of the Asharis and Maaturidis, who
constitute the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah and are two groups whose
beliefs are correct. They also vehemently oppose tawassuf.
It is necessary for us to be on our guard against them as they are
very active propagators of their Baatil and false beliefs.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
ur absolutely ryt broooooo
))) wahabis r wobblers they wobble too much mann
Dear Madam
Wahabi i.e Ibn Abdul Wahab Najidi is the enemy od Islam
Who belong to Najidi region of Arab. Prophet Muhammad Pease be upon him has informed muslims that from Najid
” The horn of evil(shaitaan),All major Fitnaas will be born there” (Sahee Bukharii,Sahee Muslim(Mutafaku Aliya))
If Ibn Wahaab was so saviour of Islam why Prophet said that.Down with Najidi(Ibn Wahaab)and also Saudi kingdom.

Brother due to your less knowledge about deen and the hatred towards the scholars of Ahlus sunnah wal jamaah you have quoted a hadith which you impose on Sheikh Muhhamad ibn Abdul Wahhab(rah) but if you would have a little bit knowledge about deen you would have come to truth.
Here is a refutation to the claim made by you:
Ibn Hajar Asqalani said after quoting the words of al-Khattaabee explaining the meaning of Qarn (horn):
“and others have said that the People of the East were disbelievers at that time and the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, informed us that the trials and tribulations would arise from that direction and it was as he said. And the first of the trials that arose, arose from the direction of the east and they were the reason for the splitting of the Muslim ranks, and this is what Satan loves and delights in. Likewise the innovations appeared from that direction.” [Fath al-Baaree 13/58 in commentary to the hadeeth of Najd]
Imam Nawawi makes a claim against the idea that the hadith is relating to Wahabis or the House of Saud. In his Sharh Saheeh Muslim 2/29 he said that it had to with Dajjal coming from the East. Furthermore, it is shown in Najd Qarnu ash-Shaytaan that there is 13 places that have been labeled as Najd depending a lot on one’s own location, and from Madina, Najd would be Iraq.
Ibn Hajr said: “al-Khattaabee said:
“the najd in the direction of the east, and for the one who is in Madeenah then his Najd would be the desert of Iraaq and it’s regions for this is to the east of the People of Madeenah. The basic meaning of Najd is that which is raised/elevated from the earth in contravention to al-Gawr for that is what is lower than it. Tihaamah [the coastal plain along the south-western and southern shores of the Arabian Peninsula] is entirely al-Gawr and Mecca is in Tihaamah.’[...] by this [saying of al-Khattaabee] the weakness of the saying of ad-Daawodee is understood that ‘Najd is in the direction of Iraaq’ [min Naahiya al-Iraaq] for he suggests that Najd is a specific place. This is not the case, rather everything that is elevated with respect to what adjoins it is called Najd and the lower area called Gawr.” [B]Fath al-Baaree 13/58-59
Other people have appealed to the definition of Najd, which is “elevated place”, argueing that the the others are merely interpreting it out of hatred to the Salafi movement.
Furthermore, the interpretation of Najd favored by many anti-Wahabi, anti-Saudis is in rejection to a number of ahadeeth which praise the inhabitants of Saudi as a beneficial people, is found in Sahih Bukhari:
“I have loved the people of the tribe of Banu Tamim, ever since I heard three things the Messenger of Allaah , sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said about them. I heard him saying, ‘these people (of the tribe of Banu Tamim) would stand firm against the Dajjaal.’ When the Saddaqat from that tribe came, the Messenger of Allaah , sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “these are the Saddaqat (charitable gifts) of our folk.” Aa’ishah had a slave girl from that tribe, and the Prophet , sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said to Aa’ishah, ‘manumit her as she is a descendant of Ismaa’eel, alayhis salaam.’”
ahadith 2543 and 4366 of al-Fath
Also from Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal:
“do not say of Bani Tameem anything but good, for indeed they are the severest of people in attacking the Dajjaal.”
Banu Tamim are the majority of people of the so-called Najd (Saudi Arabia). To label Najd as that area of Saudi Arabia would be in contradiction of the many hadeeth relating to Bani Tameem especially those in which they fight the Dajjal, who comes from the Najd that is to the East.
The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said,
“O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Shaam. O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Yemen.” The people said, “O Messenger of Allaah, and our Najd.” I think the third time the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “There (in Najd) will occur earthquakes, trials and tribulations, and from their appears the Horn of Satan.”
Reported in al-Bukhaaree [Book of Trials, Chpt. 'The afflictions will come from the East' 9/166 no. 214 Eng. Trans]
A hadeeth which has some controversy surrounding it due to obvious sectarian reasons. A hadeeth which has been (deliberately) misunderstood by certain groups of people in order that they may spread their misguidance and deceive ignorant Muslims.
This because upon research and investigation and looking to the words of our early scholars we find that this hadeeth does not refer to the Najd that is famously known in Saudi today, but rather it refers to Iraaq.
About two years ago I read a book entirely devoted to this hadeeth entitled, “an-Najd Qarnu ash-Shaytaan” [I cannot remember the author as I do not have the book on me anymore.] I will quote in general from what I remember from this book, and refrain from mentioning precise quotes except from those references that I have on me.
Amongst the scholars that are mentioned who referred this hadeeth to Iraaq were: al-Khattaabee, al-Kirmaanee, al-Aynee, an-Nawawee, ibn Hajr and others. The reasons behind this are numerous and clear:
The Generality of the Hadeeth Pertaining to the Fitna Coming from the East.
Al-Bukhaaree includes this hadeeth in the chapter: “The affliction will appear from the East”
212) From the father of Saalim: The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, stood up besides the pulpit (and pointed towards the east) and said: “Afflictions are there! Afflictions are there! From where appears the horn of Satan” or he said, “the horn of the Sun”
213) From ibn Umar that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alyahi wa sallam, saying while facing the east: “Indeed Afflictions are there, from where appears the Horn of Satan.”
214) The hadeeth of Najd under discussion.
Similar hadeeth can be found in Saheeh Muslim (volume 4 no.’s. 6938+). Hadeeth that give the same meaning can be found in Saheeh Muslim (volume 1 no.’s 83+)
That the Generality of the Early Trials and Tribulations arose from the East, many of them actually in Iraaq itself.
Ibn Hajr al-Asqalaanee said after quoting the words of al-Khattaabee explaining the meaning of Qarn (horn), “and others have said that the People of the East were disbelievers at that time and the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, informed us that the trials and tribulations would arise from that direction and it was as he said. And the first of the trials that arose, arose from the direction of the east and they were the reason for the splitting of the Muslim ranks, and this is what Satan loves and delights in. Likewise the innovations appeared from that direction.” [Fath al-Baaree 13/58 in commentary to the hadeeth of Najd]
Amongst the trials that arose in Iraaq and the east was the martyrdom of Alee, the martyrdom of the grandson of the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, the first battle between the Muslims occurred in Iraaq, and many more.
Imaam Nawawee mentions that one of the greatest trials to appear from the East will be the appearance of the Dajjaal. [Sharh Saheeh Muslim 2/29]
From the innovations that appeared in the east and specifically Iraaq, was many of the early deviant sects amongst them the Qadariyyah (as the first hadeeth in Muslim shows), the Jahmiyyah and their offshoots etc…
That at the time of the Prophet, sallaahu alayhis wa sallaam, there were 13 places known as Najd [according to 'Najd Qarnu ash-Shaytaan'] depending on where one was. This because Najd linguistically means a raised/elevated land. Therefore the Arabs referred to lands that were elevated with respect to them as Najd. One of the most commonly referred to areas at that time as Najd was Iraaq.
The Najd for those people living in Madeenah in the direction of the East would be Iraaq.
Ibn Hajr said: “al-Khattaabee said: ‘the najd in the direction of the east, and for the one who is in Madeenah then his Najd would be the desert of Iraaq and it’s regions for this is to the east of the People of Madeenah. The basic meaning of Najd is that which is raised/elevated from the earth in contravention to al-Gawr for that is what is lower than it. Tihaamah [the coastal plain along the south-western and southern shores of the Arabian Peninsula] is entirely al-Gawr and Mecca is in Tihaamah.’”
Ibn Hajr continues, “by this [saying of al-Khattaabee] the weakness of the saying of ad-Daawodee is understood that ‘Najd is in the direction of Iraaq’ [min Naahiya al-Iraaq] for he suggests that Najd is a specific place. This is not the case, rather everything that is elevated with respect to what adjoins it is called Najd and the lower area called Gawr.” [Fath al-Baaree 13/58-59]
Al-Mubaarakfooree endorses these words in his commentary to Sunan at-Tirmidhee [B](10/314 no.4212)
The Hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim [4/1505 no.6943]
Saalim bin Abdullaah bin Umar said: O people of Iraaq, how strange is it that you ask about the minor sins but commit the major sins? [The killing of al-Husayn] I heard my father, Abdullaah bin Umar narrating that he heard the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, saying while pointing his hand to the east: “Indeed the turmoil would come from this side, from where appear the horns of Satan and you would strike the necks of one another…”
The Variations in Wording of the Hadeeth of Najd that Leave no Doubt Whatsoever as to what it refers to.
The hadeeth of ibn Umar Reported by Abu Nu’aym in al-Hilya (6/133), “O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Madeenah, and bestow your blessings on our Mecca, and bestow your blessings on our Shaam, and bestow your blessings on our Yemen, and bestow your blessings in our measuring (fee saa’inaa wa muddinaa).” A person said, ” O Messenger of Allaah and in our Iraaq” and so he turned away from him and said, “there will occur earthquakes, trials and tribulations and there will appear the horn of Satan.”
Shu’ayb al-Arna’ut declares it’s isnaad to be saheeh as in his footnotes to ‘Sharh as-Sunnah’ (14/206-207 fn. 2) and he too endorses the words of al-Khattaabee quoted above.
The hadeeth of ibn Umar reported in at-Tabaraanee in ‘al-Awsat’ that the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam prayed Fajr and then faced the people and said, “O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Madeenah, O Allaah bestow your blessings in our measuring, O Allaah bestow your blessings in our Shaam and our Yemen.” A person said, “And Iraaq O Messenger of Allaah?” He said, “from there arises the horn of Satan and the trials and tribulations would come like mounting waves.”
Ibn Hajr al-Haythamee says in his ‘Mujma az-Zawaa’id’ (3/305 – chapter ‘collection of du’aas made for (Madeenah)’): ‘its narrators are trustworthy and precise.’
[This hadeeth could possibly considered to be the same as b) above, but I have included it separately due to the slight difference in wording. Allaah knows best.]
The hadeeth of ibn Abbaas reported by at-Tabaraanee in ‘al-Kabeer’ that the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, supplicated and said, “O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Shaam and Yemen.” A person from amongst the people said, “O Prophet of Allaah and Iraaq?” He said, “indeed there is the Horn of Satan, and the trials and tribulations will come like mounting waves, and indeed harshness/coarseness is in the east.”
Al-Haythamee says: “it’s narrators are trustworthy and precise.” (ibid.)
The Virtues of Bani Tameem
Bani Tameem constitute the majority of the inhabitants of the Najd that is in Saudi Arabia.
The hadeeth of Saheeh Bukhaaree reported by Abu Hurayra (RA): “I have loved the people of the tribe of Bani Tameem, ever since I heard three things the Messenger of Allaah , sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said about them. I heard him saying, ‘these people (of the tribe of Bani Tameem) would stand firm against the Dajjaal.’ When the Saddaqat from that tribe came, the Messenger of Allaah , sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “these are the Saddaqat (charitable gifts) of our folk.” Aa’ishah had a slave girl from that tribe, and the Prophet , sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said to Aa’ishah, ‘manumit her as she is a descendant of Ismaa’eel, alayhis salaam.’”
[Hadeeth no. 2543, 4366 of al-Fath]
Ibn Hajr al-Asqalaanee said, “this hadeeth also contains a clear mention of the excellence and superiority of Bani Tameem.” [Fath 5/217]
The hadeeth of Ikrimah from one of the Companions reported in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad and in it occurs, “do not say of Bani Tameem anything but good, for indeed they are the severest of people in attacking the Dajjaal.”
Al-Haythamee says: “its narrators are those of the Saheeh.” [Mujma 10/48 chpt: What is reported concerning Bani Tameem]
It is not strange that Bani Tameem would be the most severe against the Dajjaal, because the tools required to combat him are none but a correct and firm belief and proper beneficial knowledge. Alhumdolillaah many of the scholars of Saudi are from the most noble and skilled scholars on the face of this earth today, firmly upon the way of our noble Messenger, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam.
This is what Allaah has allowed me to very quickly put together. And our Lord Most High Knows best.
Dear Sir,
How idiotic is your comment! WOW!
First of All, the Prophet talked about a Fitna that will rise.. this does not mean the Najdis are the problem – THEY COULD BE THE VICTIMS!..
Dear Viewers
I can provide numerous facts about Ibn Abdul Wahaab Najidi.
Brother
Please i am waiting to see your numerous facts about the accusations against the Imam Muhhamed ibn Abdul Wahhab(rahimuhullah) and by the power of Allah subhana wa taala i will destroy and refute all claims of Baatil Against the Haq brought by the noble Imam…Inshallah
The sister who wrote the above article clearly explains that there is no such term as WAHABI. But some of you are still ignorant and arrogant enough to use the word and bash your fellow muslims- subhanaAllah.
Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahaab was a reviver of the SUNNAH- Yes he was a scholar that was a salafi and his work will forever remain prominent for muslims- whether they are in Saudi or anywhere else in the world. If you have issues with your FELLOW muslims, you dont openly bash them online- where is your hikmah?
I really thank Saudi Woman for giving us a brief about what Wahabism is. Prophet warned us that there would be 72 Fiqahs before Qiyammah and it seems we’re dividing each other by using derogatory terms. Living in Saudi Arabia, I know there is no such open pratice of Wahabism. Infact, Saudi society is much better and saved from Bidah. Thank You Saudi Woman!
It seems you are a product of some Taliban/wahabi madrasa.
Jamal.. it seems you are the product of Prejudice, Ignorance and Self Fulfillment. REally, You are.
This is in reply to the write up posted by juggyguggy who dare not to reveal his identity. Without prejudice let me state honestly and I pray to Allah if I am wrong please show me the right path and if juggyguggy is wrong please show him the right path for there is only one sarate mustaqeem the right path which goes straight to jannah. I hubly suggest this man to Read and Research this will inshahallah help him to shed doubts from his mind. Please see my esponse below:

The Wahabis, who call themselves Salafis, are a group who had
appeared in the last few centuries and hold beliefs contrary to the
Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah. This is absolutely not correct. In fact they are the group of people who are actually ahle sunnah wal jamah (ASWJ) since the time of prophet Mohammed saw. You are pseudo ASWJ. You are misguided and heretics. You are guided by some soofi somewhere some saint some where who did this who did that and so on. You never thought to refer to koran you never felt like refering to sahee hadees when ever in your whole life time even once referred to any hadees you referred with an intention to justify your aqeedah and deeds and never ever to seek truth.
They try to pull the wool over our eyes by affiliating themselves
with the Salaf (Sahabah and Tabi’en) but in effect their beliefs and
practices are completely in contradictory with those of the Salaf. Do you know the beliefs and practices of Sahaba RA and salfe saleheen. I think you know nothing.
The Wahabis are in essence Mujassimah (anthropomorphists-Those who
attribute
a body to Allah Ta’ala). This is an absolute lie. They believe in ayat Lais Kamislahi Shai. Nothing like him. Dont attribute such a big lie to them. How would you face Allah on the day of Judgement.
They attribute a hand, leg, face etc to Allah Ta’ala, while the
illustrious Ulama of the Ahlus sunnah wal Jama’ah hold fast to the
belief that Allah knows best the meaning of these words. Yes they believe this because it is mentioned in Quran it is mentioned in Hadees but they do not attribute kafiya. Like Imam Malik RA was once asked about Astawa. Imam Malik RA replied Astawa maloom kaifya majhool and asking on this subject is biddah. Similarly Legs, Hands, Wajd eyes are mentioned in Quran And hadees but we dont know anything about kaifya because allah knows best about kaifya it was not mentioned. They do not unncessary ask and discuss on this subject as SAHABA did when ever any ayat revealed on this subject they used to have firm belief on that but nevered asked about kafia. Whether it is Arrahman Ala Al Arsh Al astawa or the hadees that Prophet Mohammed SAW said that Dajjal has one eye and your rab has two. Hear it and believe it simple. Now this hadees will save you from the trap of dajjal when he will proclaim that he is the lord you will deny by remembering this hadees how just think about that.
Similar is the case with all the sifat (qualities) etc in the Quran
ie. the Wahabis take them on there apparent meaning , claiming that
interpreting the Quran is not permissible, while we say that Allah
knows best what it means or at times we interpret it in a suitable Not in meaning but in kaifya Allah knows best.
manner.
-The Wahabis reject the permissibility of using a deceased person as
a intermediary in dua, while we hold that it is permissible.
So does sahaba no example if you have please give authentic reference.
-The Wahabis reject the Ambiyaa being alive in their graves. Impossible why he was buried then you stupid nonsence.
- The Wahabis hold that Allah is really resting on His throne in the
sky, while we hold that this is from the Mutashabihaat.(Those unclear
statements hose meaning is only known to Allah). Replied already
- The Ulama of the Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaa’ah disagree with the
destruction of numerous blessed historical landmarks by the Wahabis. A place of Shirk see for urself in AJMER in INDIA and similar place around the world.
-The Ulama of the Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaa’ah hold that taqleed of one
mazhab is necessary, while the Wahabis generally do not adhere to a
mazhab and claim that following one imam blindly is Bidah and shirk. Sahaba never did it this is another proof that salafees are true representative of sahabas RA
-There are dozens of other differences.
The Wahabis are vehement opponents of the Asharis and Maaturidis, who
constitute the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah and are two groups whose
beliefs are correct. They also vehemently oppose tawassuf. Asharis and Maaturidis are heretics their belief run counter with Quran and Hadees.
It is necessary for us to be on our guard against them as they are
very active propagators of their Baatil and false beliefs. It is necessary for us to befriend with them and learn from them you idiot.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
Mr Faran…You are one among the few idiots and loony characters who misinterpret Islam and give it a bad name !!!
Islam can do well without dumb heads like you !!!
This honourable sister is concealing the gross fact that all the opressive system of the religious police and the patheitc thought control mechanisms in place in Saudi Arabia is the product of this Whabi puritanism and bigotry. All the muttawa and the PVPV that is unleashed on the hapless human beings in Saudi is the product of this totalitatiran ideology that tries to contol all the activity of each neurona and axon in each human being that it can bring under its domain. It is pathetic that the sister is boasting that she belongs to the same tribe as if it is some great worthwile distinction! Pride in belonging to a tribe is OK as per Islamic belief system which declares that all humans are equal irrespective of their tribe of origin?? Whic madhab is supporting the tribal superiority complexes that rule the Whabi mindset of large sections of Saudi natioanls?
yes,yes “dump head”. Read first laa.. what written in the book of M.wahab, then comment with your hujjah liaise with quran and hadith what and which are wrong.. not liaise with gurus which had mind set block due to against with M.wahab opinion…what ever clash argurement had to return back to 2 source Al quran and Sunnah and the good understanding of all this been aprove by prophet are those 3 genarations … i dont think “WAHABIES” had kind of thinking like you think…ALLAH knows better what about on ALLAH kalam, what ALLAH means on face, leg, hand… we cannot said what ALLAH mention in Al quran is wrong , THEY THINK THEY MORE UNDERSTAND AND MORE AUTHOR THEN ALLAH IN PUTTING ALLAH SYIFAT…ALLAH had mention that ALLAH not same as any of ALLAH creations…. on ALLAH statement already mention, nothing same or imagineable on ALLAH dzat. So only “dump head” when think Alquran or hadith said hand, leg, face they will imagine same as ALLAH creation ( SUBAHANALLAH from what they imagine and thinks) .. that why saying or discuss or what ever on other then what ALLAH mention in Alquran on ALLAH SYIFAT face, hand , leg are bidda’ah…. dont refer to “WAHABIES” on this please make some study on 4 madhab relate on this matter… what those Imams says… then refer on M.wahab books what again those Imam says.. Faran ” Do your leg same as Kangaroo leg” Remember that ALLAH not same as any of ALLAH creation…
Im a Wahabi
You will go hell with abdul wahab Najdi
So am I….;-)
And so will you.
Assalam Alaikum,
I want to know why Muslims can’t buy land in Saudi Arab ?
It is something which is against the shariah and it can be counted as Bid’ah , something Prophet Muhammad(s.a.w) never preached or did he?
and since 1920 when Saud family got hold of Arab why it is that they never asked muslim Ummah to re-establish Khilafah and rather started pallying with America ?
Thanks………Syed Abdul Aziz.
Those who follow Sheikh Muhammed Ibn Abdul-Wahhab is a wahabi and those who follow Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal is a Hanbali and so on. There are four renowned mazhab agreed by ijma’ ‘ulama and wahabi is not included.
Even arabs in Saudi as sister mentioned during Ibn Wahhab’s time are far away from islam, what about the rest of muslims whose countries have been colonised and westernised? There were many renowned scholars in Makkah during Ibn Wahhab’s time. What happened to them? Because they are not arabs?
Dear Saudi woman
since we are talking here about tribes.. would you happen to have any link that explains the division of tribes and the subcategories that exist in the present? How can I know from what tribe a person is nowadays?
I have a friend with all these last names:
Almatroud, Alsahali and Saad and I would like to know to which tribe he belongs . Also I would like to know if this is a a traditional tribe or what is this tribe famous for.
Thank you very much for all your wonderful information.
Salam!
Wahabis are Najdis whom beloved prophet predicted as fitna.
following link illustrates this fact.
This is a great post, and a much needed clarification for all, as to what wahabi, salafi, and hanbali mean. I hope you have occasion to publish the information widely, both in the academic and lay presses.
Great blog, shame I just fell upon it.
I was wondering if you know that the first to coin the “wahabi” term is actually Sulaiman bin Abdulwahab, his brother and a fellow jurist, in his treaties: “الصواعق الالهية في الرد على الوهابية”
Also, it is historically and terminologically inaccurate to state that by the late 19th century there has been polytheism or paganism in Arabia. It is true, however, that by Abdulwahab’s time in Arabia the practice of saintship and Karamat was rampant. Though as many jurists have debated this does not attain a level of “shirk” or anti-taoheed as long as the belief is that the saint will only bring you closer to God because of his/her Karamat, but the saint is not God.
Keep up the good work, you have a new fan
What the hell is american army doing in the Saudi Arabi
Doing what they are paid to do…. protect the filth that resides there.
My Questions-
Have You studied Saudi funded Imams and Madarsas spreading in other muslim countries holds totally separated character.They are different from all sunni Muslims .In Every Muslim country You will found that Sunni scholars are against this salafi/wahabi Movement.
These Salafi/wahabi scholars considers other Sunnis as in need of making Salafis and whenever find chances to convert people they converts them to Wahabism?Is Wahabism Only Ideology in Islam?
Do You know that according to Hadith -Majority of Muslims will never Unite on error.They are unite against these teachings of Wahabism/salafism.
Have You Studies Hambalis of other counries are different from Saudi Hambalis and they are united with other three means Hanafis/Shafai/Malikis of any country in terms of Aqaid.
Why thousands of AhleSunnah scholars in the Past and in Present regarded the teachings of Muhahammad bin abdulwahab as heretical?
Have You read his teachings even his brother and father opposed his extreme teachings which were against Islam?
Have You read How the Saudi state was established?Whole Muslim ummah is not blind it was created by the direct help of britain.?
Why Saudi are soft towards Kafirs like britain and U.S and Harsh on Poor Muslims?
Dont you know that Adultery and Illicit relationship with girls of Poor Muslim Countreis is rampant in Your state and Saudi Muftis and Mutawwa is totally blind to these Practices ?
The World Media is not alone in describing this Movement as Innovation and Extreme rather most muslims are aware about this movement.
Just Search Internet and read Islam in Various countries.
Why Saudi family changed the name of Hijaz to SaudiArabia?Was this Islamic or love of Prophet sallahoalihiwassalam.
Luxurious Saudi kings added their Personal name to a country of Rasulallah sallahoalihiwassalam.
Face it they also spread their Personal understanding of Islam in the land of Rasulallah sallahoalihiwassalam.
The matter is crystal clear they are a new firqa and they are Gumrah. may allah Protect the Imaan of Muslims from heretical movements running in the name of Islam.
You have to answer these Questions.
Don’t forget that it is not allowed to impose or force Islam on anyone, because if you do, it becomes oppression. And Allah urges you to fight oppression. It is permitted to invite to Islam. The best of believers are those who have chosen Islam by themselves.
Similarly, this applies to the hijab as well. If you mistrust me, look up the noble Quran. There is no compulsion in religion!
Hexxor, I completely agree with you. You’ve reflected some aspects of Islamic teachings. In this regard, Wahhabi is a sect that quite often force other Muslims to be Wahhabi. Our “suidiwoman” tries to hide Wahhabi atrocities, either toward Muslim(s) and non-Muslim(s). She must read “Al-Shawa’iq al-Ilahiyyah fi al-Radd ‘ala al-Wahhabiyya” by Sulaiman ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab (older brother Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab), and ” Al-Durar al-Sunniyya fi al-Radd ‘ala al-Wahhabiyya” by Sayyid Ahmad ibn Zaini Dahlan. Please read the books calmly and cool brain, you will find dangers posed by Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab thought/writings.
Dear Brothers and sisters in Islam,
As-salaam-u-aalaikum.
Allah,The Glorious states in the Holy Qur’an:
{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad [salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam]) to the way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Revelation and the Qur’an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His path, and He is the Best Knower of those who are guided.}[an-Nahl 16:125]
Well after reading the blog with all the comments from above to below,the sister from Saudi Arab tries to inform us that there is no such sect as ‘Wahabis’ and they are actually what Allah and his Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) wanted us muslims to be.
But unfortunately most of the commentators started ‘BLINDLY’ attacking them UNLIKE THAT ORDERED TO US BY ALLAH IN THE VERSE ABOVE FROM THE HOLY QURAN (16:125) AS HE SAID TO ARGUE IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY AND IT IS ALLAH ALONE WHO KNOWS THE BEST THAT WHOS ON THE RIGHT PATH AND WHO’S NOT BUT IS INDEED LED ASTRAY.
Let us start with a Sahih Hadees From our Beloved Prophet (peace be upon him):
The Prophet said, “AND THIS UMMAH WILL SPLIT INTO 73 SECTS, ALL OF THEM IN THE HELLFIRE EXCEPT ONE.” The companions said, which one is this. The Messenger of Allah replied ” THEY ARE THOSE WHO ARE UPON THAT WHICH I AND MY COMPANIONS ARE UPON TODAY”.
So what to all of you understand from above.only and only 1 sect out of the 73 among us will be accepted by Allah,the most wise. THIS SHOWS US THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE AROUND US WHO SAY THEY FOLLOW ISLAM ,THEIR ISLAM WONT BE ACCEPTED BY ALLAH ,THE MOST MERCIFUL ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT,AS OUT OF 73, 72 WILL BE IN HELLFIRE.SO THIS SHOWS US HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR US TO FIND WHICH SECT IS THIS ? ISNT IT?WHICH SECT IS THIS THAT THE HOLY PROPHET REFERRED TO,CAUSE EVERYONE OF US AT LAST WANT TO BE WHAT OUR BELOVED PROPHET WANTED US TO BE ,HIS TRUE FOLLOWERS AND NONE OF US WANT TO AT LAST ,LAND IN HELL-FIRE OBVIOUSLY.
But most of you above attack ‘WAHABIS’ as kaffirs
on your own beliefs when ALLAH HIMSELF SAID IN THE HOLY QURAN THAT TrulyHE knows best who has gone astray from His path, and He is the Best Knower of those who are guided. (REFER 16:125 ABOVE).
EVEN IF YOU PEOPLE CONSIDER AS WAHABIS AS KAAFIRS OR OUTSIDERS,THEN EVEN ALMOST ALL OF YOU WHO ARE FROM DIFFERENT SECTS TRYING TO REFUTE ‘WAHABIS’ WILL ALSO LAND IN HELL-FIRE AS (THE HADITH ABOVE WHICH SUGGESTS 72 OUT OF 73 WILL END IN HELL-FIRE).
SO AT THE FIRST PLACE WE HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT PATH ,THAT 1 SECT WHICH ALLAH WILL FORGIVE ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT TO SAVE OURSELVES FROM HELL-FIRE AND AT THE SAME TIME SPREAD THIS WORD OF TRUTH TO OTHER FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS (DAWAH) TO PROTECT THEM ALSO FROM THE HELL-FIRE.
NOW HOW TO FIND THIS RIGHT PATH ????
WE BELIEVE THAT THE LAST PROPHET OF ISLAM (PEACE BE UPON HIM) WITH THE GRACE OF ALLAH,THE ALMIGHTY HAD ALREADY PROVIDED THE WHOLE MANKIND WITH THE RIGHT & COMPLETE PATH TO FOLLOW .
HE PEACE BE UPON HIM WHEN MENTIONED ABOUT THE 72 OUT OF 73 GOING TO HELL-FIRE,THE COMPANIONS RADHIALLAHU-ANHU ASKED HIM THAT WHO ARE THE ONES ,The Messenger of Allah replied ” THEY ARE THOSE WHO ARE UPON THAT WHICH I AND MY COMPANIONS ARE UPON TODAY”(REFER TO THE HADITH ABOVE)
THUS THE HOLY PROPHET NOT ONLY WARNED HIS UMMAH ABOUT THE FATE OF THE 72 SECTS OF HIS UMMAH BUT HE ALSO INFORMED US THAT WHO ARE THOSE WHICH WILL BE SAVED FROM THE HELL-FIRE,i.e., which are those who are on the right path.
IN OTHER WORDS ,THE HOLY PROPHET SAID THAT ONLY AND ONLY THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW THE PROPHET AND HIS COMPANIONS WILL BE ON THE RIGHT PATH AND ONLY THEY OUT OF THE 73 SECTS WILL BE GUARANTEED A PLACE IN THE PARADISE.
TO ANALYSE FURTHER :
The Prophet (S) said, Adhere very closely to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided successors after me; bite on to it with your molar teeth, and beware of the newly invented matters. [Authentic; recorded by Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidthi.]
WHO ARE THE “SALAF?”.
As-Salaf us-Salih (or briefly: the Salaf) refers to the first and best three generations of Muslims. They are the Companions (Sahabah) of the Prophet (S), their immediate followers (Tabiun), and the followers of the Tabi’in. These were praised by the Prophet (s): The best of people is my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them [Bukhari and Muslim]. The term Salaf applies also to the Scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah after the first three blessed generations who followed their way in belief and practices.
WHO ARE THE “SALAFIS?”
The description “Salafi” applies to one who truly attaches himself to the Salaf. This attachment is not to an arbitrary single person or group of people. It is an attachment to that which will never err – to the guidance of Muhammad (S), his Sahabai, and their true followers. Likewise, Salafiyyah (the Salafi Da’wah) is not blind following of any particular Shaikh or Imam. It is adherence to the Qur’an and Sunnah as understood and practiced collectively by as-Salaf as-Salih. A true Salafi values Tawhid, singling out Allah in all acts of worship: in supplication, in seeking aid, in seeking refuge in times of ease and hardship, in sacrifice, in making vows, in fearing and hoping and total reliance, and so on. A true Salafi actively seeks to remove shirk (polytheism) with all his capacity. He knows that victory is not possible without true Tawhid, and that shirk cannot be fought with the likes of it (i.e., with another form of shirk). A true Salafi adheres to the Sunnah of the Prophet (S) and of his companions after him.
A true Salafi is not of the Khawarij who consider most Muslims to be kafirs (disbelievers) because of committing sins. He is not of the Shiah who revile the Sahabah, who claim that the Qur’an has been altered, who reject the authentic Sunnah, and who worship the Prophet’s Family. He is not of the Qadariyyah who deny qadar (the Divine Decree). He is not of the murjiah who claim that iman is only words without deeds. He is not of the Mu’attilah who deny Allah’s Attributes. He is not of the Sufis who worship graves and claim Divine incarnation. He is not of the Muqallidun who insist that every Muslim should adhere to the Madth’hab (understanding) of a particular imam or shaikh, even when that madth’hab conflicts with the clear texts of the Qur’an or authentic Sunnah.
Thus the true Salafs are Ahl us-Sunnati wal-Jamaah. They are at-Ta’ifat ul-Mansurah (the Aided, Victorious Group) and al-Firqat un-Najiyah (the Saved Party) which have been described in several hadiths. The Messenger (S) said: A group from my Ummah (nation or community) will always be aided with victory as they continue to persevere upon the Truth; they will not be harmed by those who abandon them or those who oppose them. [Recorded by Muslim]. And he (S) said: This Ummah will split into seventy three parties, all of which will go to Hell – except for one party: the one which will follow the same path as what I and my companions are following today. [Authentic; recorded by Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidthi, and others]. In one report he (S) described this Saved Party as: … except for one party, which is the Jama’ah.
Among these scholars are (the number following the name is the Hijri year of death): Abu Hanifah (150), al-Awzai (157), ath-Thawn (161), al-Laith bin Sad (175), Malik bin Anas (179). Abdullah bin al-Mubarak (181), Sufyan bin ‘Uyainah (198), ash-Shafi’i (204), Is’haq (238), Ahmad bin Hanbal (241), al-Bukhari (256), Muslim (261), Abu Dawud (275), Ibn Taymiyyah (728), adth-Dthahabi (748), Ibn ul-Qayyim (751), Ibn Kathir (774), Muhammad bin ‘Abdil Wahhab (1206) and his many students, and, in our time: ‘Abd ul-’Aziz bin Baz, Muhammad Nasir ud-Din al-Albani and others.
Upon comprehending this, a Muslim has no option but to be salafi. In doing so he attaches himself to that group which has been guaranteed success, victory, salvation and safety from the Fire.
The Salafi Da’wah stands upon the principles of Tawhid and Tazkiyah.
TAWHID:
Tawhid means to accept and believe in the oneness of Allah (T) and in the uniqueness of His Message. It means to worship Allah (T) alone, and to worship Him in accordance with His legislation.
It is unfortunate that true adherence to the Way of the Prophet (S) has weakened in the Ummah and true love for him has all but disappeared because of:
- Abandoning his Sunnah and removing it from our daily lives, belittling it, and developing an attitude of pride and arrogance toward it.
- The spread of numerous unsubstantiated and fabricated hadiths among Muslims.
- The spread of many bid’ahs (innovations) among Muslims.
- Blind following of a specific madth’hab (Taqlid).
- Delivering Islamic verdicts without knowledge or evidence.
- Ceasing to implement the Shari’ah (Islamic laws) throughout the lands of Islam and replacing it by the ways and laws of the Kuffar (disbelievers).
TAZKIYAH: On the other hand, means to be purified or to purify oneself by adhering to Allah’s commands. In its best form, it would be to worship Him with complete surrender, submission, and devotion. This is a great favor that Allah (T) bestowed on this Ummah.
MISCONCEPTIONS about the Salafi Da’wah:
There following are is a number of misconceptions about the Salafi Da’wah:
Calling as-Salafiyyah a “movement” or “movements.” It should be clear to all that the Salafi Da’wah is Islam, no more and no less. It is the True Islam with all its teachings and implications. Anyone who talks about it as an outsider might as well talk about Islam as an outsider! It is the teachings of the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah in the light of practices and understanding of as-Salaf: A “movement” is meant to indicate something temporal or reactionary, whereas the Salafi Da’wah is the only true and constant and blessed Da wah of the prophets.
Thinking or claiming that the Salafs are followers of a fifth madth’hab which is attributed to Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahab ,Ibn Taymiyyah or Ibn Baz or al-Albani. This is a grave misconception. As stated above, the Salaf sources are the Qur an, the Sunnah, and the methodology of as-Salaf: If these scholars rely in their ijtihad on these sources then we take what they say, not because they said it, rather because Allah or His Messenger said it or called to it directly or indirectly through the known channels of ijtihad. The same applies to all scholars throughout the ages. We take from them all what conforms with the Qur’an and the Sunnah and we reject what does not.
The Salaf Da’wah is against all forms of ‘asabiyyah and hizbiyyah (baseless allegiance for parties, factions, races, nations, etc). The only allowed allegiance is to Allah and His Messenger and to what stems from it. The leader of all Salafis is Muhammad (S). Anyone else will be respected and obeyed in as much as he obeys Allah and His Messenger. Claiming that the Salafi Da’wah calls its followers to be disorganized and chaotic in their behavior is another misconception. Work has to be organized and orderly, as was taught by the Messenger (S) on many occasions, but it should avoid the hizbiyyah disease described above.
The Salafi Da’wah puts a strong emphasis on tarbiyah (education and cultivation). This is not a mere academic educational process; rather, it is a complete process which is meant to raise committed Muslims who understand their Din and who practice it in the best possible way.
Above,Alhamdulillah i have already provided a brief introduction to who the ‘Salfees’ /Ahl-e-Hadees/Ahl us-Sunnati wal-Jamaah/Wahabis are.These above are the different references to the SALFEES ,The term “Wahhabi” (Wahhābīya) was first used by opponents of ibn Abdul Wahhab.It is considered derogatory by the SALFEES,as their opponents by calling them WAHABIS want to SHOW THAT THEY ARE THE FOLLOWERS OF MUHAMMAD IBN ABDUL WAHAB (RAHIMULLAH) and not of the HOLY PROPHET(PEACE BE UPON HIM)..THIS IS NOT RIGHT ,EVEN THOUGH THEY CONSIDER MUHAMMAD IBN ABDUL WAHAB AS ONE OF THEIR SALAF & SCHOLARS JUST LIKE OTHER SCHOLARS LIKE Abu Hanifah (150), al-Awzai (157), ath-Thawn (161), al-Laith bin Sad (175), Malik bin Anas (179). Abdullah bin al-Mubarak (181), Sufyan bin ‘Uyainah (198), ash-Shafi’i (204), Is’haq (238), Ahmad bin Hanbal (241), al-Bukhari (256), Muslim (261), Abu Dawud (275), Ibn Taymiyyah (728), adth-Dthahabi (748), Ibn ul-Qayyim (751), Ibn Kathir (774); As stated above, the Salaf sources are the Qur an, the Sunnah, and the methodology of as-Salaf: If these scholars rely in their ijtihad on these sources then we take what they say, not because they said it, rather because Allah or His Messenger said it or called to it directly or indirectly through the known channels of ijtihad. The same applies to all scholars throughout the ages. We take from them all what conforms with the Qur’an and the Sunnah and we reject what does NOT.
WHILE MOST OF YOU WROTE ABOVE WATEVER YOU LIKED,WHAT EVER YOU DESIRED,MY SINCERE ADVISE TO ALL OF YOU IS TO WHEN MAKING A POINT,PROVE WITH THE HELP OF THE QU’RAN AND SAHEEH HADITH,NOT WAT YOU THINK ,NOT WHAT YOU LISTEN FROM OTHERS ,NOT WHAT YOU READ FROM BOOKS,SITES FILLED WITH LIES.
ABOVE ONE BROTHER MUHAMMAD IDREES BHAT,FROM BARAMULLA,KASHMIR HAS SAID THAT HE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH BOOKS AGAINST MUHAMMAD IBN ABDUL WAHAB.
WELL THAN HE CAN ALSO GET BOOKS AGAINST ISLAM,AGAINST OUR HOLY PROPHET (NAUZUBILLAH).DOES THAT MEAN THAT …….. NAUZUBILLAH. IF YOU TALK,TALK QURAN AND SUNNAH, DONT SHOW ME FALSE BOOKS WITH LIES…I EXACTLY KNOW WHAT BOOKS YOU READ,THESE BOOKS OF LIE AND FALSEHOOD COMING FROM SO CALLED HANAFI SCHOOLS(DEOBAND,BAREVLI,TABLEEGHI IN INDIA ) WONT PROVE ANYTHING..THEN I CAN SHOW YOU MORE AGAINST WHAT ALL OF YOU FOLLOW AND ALHAMDULILLAH THATS NOT LIES LIKE WHAT YOU SHOW..CAUSE WE ARE THE ONLY TRUE FOLLOWERS OF QURAN,SUNNAH,………….AND THE SALAF WHICH INCLUDE IMAM ABU HANIFA,IMAM MAALIKI,IMAM SHAFIEE,IMAM AHMAD IBN HANBAL ONLY WHICH IS RIGHT AND IN LINE WITH THE QUR’AN AND THE HADITH AND REJECT WHAT GOES AGAINST IT.
WE ARENT LIKE YOU,WHO DO TAQLID(BLIND-FOLLOWING) OF ONLY ONE MADHAB AND REJECT OTHERS…EVEN IF WE SHOW YOU THAT THE RULING OF YOUR MADHAB IS AGAINST THE SUNNAH,YOU INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE SUNNAH STILL BLINDLY FOLLOW YOUR OWN MADHAB.
i ASK YOU:
1) ON WHAT BASIS YOU CLING TO ONE IMAM AND REJECT OTHERS,WHY ONLY ONE,WHY NOT ALL,WHY NOT SOME OTHER..DO YOU THINK THAT NAUZUBILLAH OTHERS ARE WRONG???
2) THEY SAY THAT TAQLID OF ONE MADHAB IS NECESSARY AND THUS CALL SALFEES KAAFIRS….
I ASK ON WHAT BASIS :
A) SHOW ME WHERE IN THE QURAN AND SAHEEH HADITH IS THERE WRITTEN THAT TAQLID OF ONE MADHAB IS NECESSARY???DID THE PROPHET OF ISLAM SPECIFICALLY NAME IMAM ABU HANIFA,OR IMAM AHMED IBN HANBAL(RAHIMULLAH) OR SOME OTHER TO FOLLOW???DID THE HOLY PROPHET TELL US TO FOLLOW ANY ONE SCHOOL AND THAT TOO BLINDLY???
I OPENLY CHALLENGE ALL OF YOU TO SHOW ME ONE PROOF ..
B) THE COMPANIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET,THE SAHABAAS ,LIKE ABU–BAKR,UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB,UTHMAN,ALI ETC ,ETC,ABU-HURAIRAH(ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH ALL OF THEM),WHAT WAS THEIR MADHAB?? WAHT WAS THEIR MADHAB??WHERE THEY HANFEES,HANBLEES,MALIKEES,SHAFEES…OR WHAT??THEY WERE NONE…THEY WERE THE SALAFS…THEY WERE THE FOLLOWERS OF THE HOLY PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM) ,THEY REFERRED TO QURAN AND THE SUNNAH….THAT TIME NO SCHOOL OF FIQH OR LAW WAS ESTABLISHED……SO NAUZIBILLAH NONE OF THEM ARE COMPLETE MUSLIMS LIKE YOU FOLLOWERS WHO DO TAQLID OF A PARTICULAR MADHAB?? NAUZUBILLAH, IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY??
3) ALSO ASK ME HOW AT THE FIRST PLACE YOU DO TAQLID OR BLIND FOLLOWING OF A PARTICULAR MADHAB???
A) HOW COME YOU PEOPLE ARE SO SURE THAT WHATEVER YOU READ FROM THE BOOKS,FROM THE WORKS,AND FROM THE SO CALLED HANAFI/SHAFEE ETC SCHOOLS ARE THE RESPECTIVE WORKS OF THE IMAMS(RAHIMULLAH)….CANT THEY BE CORUPPTED?? EVEN ALLAHS BOOKS THROUGH THE TIMES INCLUDING THE TOWRAH AND THE BIBLE GOT CORUPPTED…WHY CANT THEIRS???
MANY OF THE THINGS COMING FROM THESE SO CALLED LAW SCHOOLS HAVE MATERIALS CORRUPTED AND ALL THAT CORUPTION ATTRIBUTED TO THE POOR IMAMS THEMSELVES.
PROOF: WHY MANY OR FOR THAT MATTER MOST OF THEIR RULINGS ARE NOT INLINE WITH THE SUNNAH???
WE HAVE THE BELIEF THAT ALL THESE FALSE RULINGS ARE NOT THE WORKS OF THE PIOUS IMAMS(RAHIMULLAH),BUT ALL THESE HAVE BEEN FALSELY ATTRIBUTED TO THEM JUST LIKE BIBLE WAS CORRUPTED AND FALSELY ATTRIBUTED TO ALLAH.WE STRONGLY BELIEVE AS THEY ARE THE SALAFS,THEY WOULD NEVER BE WRONG IN THEIR RULINGS(NAUZUBILLAH) ,BUT THESE ARE THE WORKS OF THE CURRENT GENERATION FALSE ULEMAS,MUFTIS…ETC..
B) ALSO NONE OF YOU ARE THE REAL FOLLOWERS OF IMAM ABU HANIFA,OR IMAM MALIKEE.SHAFEE,OR IMAM AHMAD IBN HANBAL…FOR EACH ONE OF THEM SAID NONE SHOULD FOLLOW THEM BLINDLY.THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT IF THEIR WORKS GOES AGAINST THE HADITH,REJECT IT AND ACCEPT WHAT THE HADEES SAYS.THIS SHOWS THAT THEY THEMSELVES DIDNT RULE OUT THAT EVEN THEY COULD HAVE COMMITED MISTAKES AS AFTER ALL THEY ALSO WERE HUMAN BEINGS .
C) ALSO ALL THESE IMAMS(MAY ALLAHS MERCY BE UPON THEM) HAD COME BEFORE THE COMPILATION OF THE HADITH HAD STARTED. FOR eg, IMAM BUKHARI,IMAM MUSLIM,IMAM TRIMIDEE etc started compilation of the hadiths much later.
SO,THERE WAS ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY THAT NOT ALL THE HADITH WOULD HAVE REACHED THEM,AND EVEN SOME WHICH WOULD HAVE REACHED AT THAT TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN DAEF OR EVEN MAWDOO.
FOR eg., of the four ,three used to do Raf’ al yadyn in their prayers.the followers of the fourth madhab,here the hanfis when shown the saheh hadith ,shouldnt they follow the hadith?THEY DONT.THEY DO THE BLIND FOLLOWING OF IMAM ABU-HANIFA(RAHIMULLAH),ARGUING AND SUPPORTING WITH A HADITH WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN CLASSIFIED DAEEF.
SO,NOW ARE THEY REALLY HANFIS???DO THEY REALLY FOLOW IMAM ABU HANIFA WHO HIMSELF HAD SAID THAT WHATEVER WAS SAHIH WAS ONLY HIS MADHAB.,HE HIMSELF HAD SAID US NOT TO BLINDLY FOLLOW HIM,BUT IF SOMETHING OF HIS WORK,IF ANY IS AGAINST THE HADITH,SIMPLY REJECT IT AND FOLLOW THE HADITH.DO THE SO CALLED HANFIS OR THE THE BLIND-FOLLOWERS OF OTHER MADHAB DO THIS?? NO.THEY ONLY DO TAQLID,AND ARGUE.
SALFEES:
Now how do you consider the Salfees wrong if they follow the way prescribed by the beloved PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE B UPON HIM) TO FOLLOW HIM AND HIS THREE PIOUS GENERATIONS,
HOW ARE THEY WRONG IF THEY DONT ASSOCIATE BLINDLY WITH ANY PARTICULAR MADHAB,JUST LIKE THE SAHABAS WERENT BELONGING TO ANY MADHAB,
HOW ARE THEY WRONG IF THEY TRULY FOLLOW THE SAYINGS OF THE 4 PIOUS IMAMS TRULY BY FOLLOWING ONLY WHAT IS INLINE WITH THE HADITH AND REJECTING THE REST???ALTHOUGH WE BELIEVE THAT NONE OF THE IMAMS WOULD HAVE GOT SO MUCH VARIATIONS IN THEIR OPINIONS(MINOR VARIATIONS CAN BE POSSIBLE),THE VARIATIONS AND THE DIFFERENCES FROM THE HADITH ARE DUE TO THE CORRUPTION BY THE FOLLOWING GENERATION AND FALSELY ATTRIBUTING TO THEM; ALSO DUE TO THE DAEEF HADITH AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME; AND DUE TO NON COMPILATION OF THE HADITHS AT THAT TIME.
Brilliant synopsis Ahmad,the scriptures of the Holy Bible teach us the same lesson and it is such a good feeling to annihilate the many false teachings thru true adherence to the word. I believe you have rendered the others speachless LOL
Indiscriminate murder and suicide are two paths that leads to hellfire. Sadly enough such people who do those things are called “martyrs” and are celebrated as heroes. Indiscriminated murder is not the same as retribution and suicide is not the same as dying without wanting to.
These people who do those things want a way to enter paradise in less than minute. The true path however is one of struggle against evil that may last a whole lifetime. 120 years of struggle is not the same as pushing a button and hope for the best. All of those suicide bombers on resurrection day will find out that they opposed Allahs laws. Thus they will enter hell.
To all Muslim women who are beaten by their houseband, they have the right to strike back, because women have an obligation to follow the law of retribution also.
Thanks for this Muslim forum.
SALAFI “Wahabis” on the issue of Suicide Bombing:: PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY
Sheikh Dr. Saleh Bin Fowzan Al-Fowzan, member of the Board of Senior Ulema and the Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Verdicts (Ifta) and a leading scholar of Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaat has described those who claim to be engaging in jihad for the sake of Allah by killing themselves as committing suicide are Mujahideen for the sake of Satan.
Al-Fowzan said: Those who have fallen into this Fitnah (trial or temptation) have not asked the religious scholars (Ulema), nor have they gained religious knowledge from them. Instead they isolated themselves from other Muslims and turned to people considered human tyrants who brainwashed them, and so they deviated from the right path followed by the majority. They consider other Muslims to be infidels, in what is known as Takfir. They kill them, blow up buildings and other facilities. They kill the young and old, male and female, and Muslim and Al-Muýahid, Al-Dhimmi and Al-Mustaýman, due to this deviant belief. These are the consequences for whoever inclines towards evildoers.
Al-Fowzan quoted the Prophet (peace be upon him) on the seditions and trials (Fitan) of the late eras. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that there would be callers at the gates of Hellfire and whoever obeyed them would be thrown into Hellfire.
Sheikh Al-Fowzan said that this was reality now.
Everybody rejoices at their misfortune and hates them for their deeds, even non-Muslims, let alone Muslims,Sheikh Fowzan said. Nobody is satisfied with their deeds except those who are like them. This is a great trial (Fitnah) and a Muslim should be alert and contemplate it. He should not be hasty, and should ask religious scholars and pray to Allah for guidance.
He should not trust people without knowing their real intentions and make sure they are upright, even though they may appear to be upright, righteous and showing zeal and concern for Islam. On the other hand, whoever seems to be following the right path and is doing good deeds but is an unknown person, we must neither be hasty in our judgment about him nor should we trust him unless we know the truth about him, and know his true conduct and past.
Without foresight and without consulting the learned, deviant groups fell into the abyss due to hasty judgments on people, ignorance, mixing with evil people, trusting them and distancing themselves from Muslims and their Ulema. They have dropped out of schools and stayed away from the Ulema and their families and homes. Muslim youth should learn lessons from what has happened to these people.
Successful is he who learns a lesson from others misdeeds. We must learn lessons from these events, never go beyond the limits, abide by the Muslim consensus and obey the ruler.
Another Great Scholar of this Era on suicide Bombings.
Shaykh al-Albaanee on the Islamic Ruling on Suicide Bombings:
Suicide attacks in the present time now,, all of
them are not legislated (in the Sharee’ah), and all of them are unlawful, and they may be from those types (of suicide) on account of which its perpetrator will remain in the Fire forever….
Now my dear brothers and sisters the best to know about the Islam is to gain knowledge from the true scholars of Ahlus sunnat wal jamaa’h.

Subject: Haraam Additives
Assalamo Alaikum
An attachment is a list of Haraam Additives.
70 to 80% products (cake, chocolate, biscuit, bun, chips, sweet, rusk, hamburger, cheese burger, chewing gum, marmalade, jam, cheese, soap, vineger, etc,) in European and American countries are with Haraam Additives and these imported products are being consumed in the Muslim-majority countries (there is not a single Islamic country on the surface of earth neither Iran nor Saudi Arabia nor any other country but are the Muslim-majority countries) without any hesitation.
It is observed that the Muslims who preach Islam, raise slogan against the innovation (Biddat), innovators (Biddatee), give a difference interpretation of an obvious meaning of a word or sentence (Taaweel), declare themselves the true followers of Islam and Allah-fearing people (elders, youngsters, parents, children) consume the stuff and products of Haraam Additives willingly without the fear of calamity (Qahr) and punishment (Azaab) of Almighty Allah. Such Muslims are in majority throughout the world and hypocrite (Munaafiq).
There are also Muslims who do not care about the Haraam Additives and consume such products but do not declare themselves as pious, religious and Allah-fearing people. They are just like an open book and not hypocrite (Munaafiq).
The consumers are of this opinion that the Haraam Additives are delicious, tasty and sweet-smelling. Such opinion should be corrected by this opinion that the Haraam Additives are Haraam by all means.
Would the Muslims give up the hypocrisy (Munaafaqat)? The question is bitter.
The Muslims think that the numbers 471, 472, E471, E472, etc., are Haraam. This is a misunderstanding. A lots of numbers are with Haraam Additives and not only these but Lard, Bacon, Gelantine, Ham, etc., are also Haraam.
NOTE: If the extract of GELANTINE and such NUMBERS is from VEGETABLE and it is mentioned in the INGREDIENTS, so the stuff is consumable.
May Almighty Allah guide us, Ameen Summa Ameen.
Please send the attached list to others and get the Blessings of Almighty Allah.

Assalaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullaah,
I pray you are well and in strength of eemaan.
What is this Soofi foolishness giving fatwa without knowledge of the principles of Fiqh and Islamic Jurisprudence. He declares most of the Ummah to be Munaafiqs (hypocrites outside of Islaam). He declares food to be haraam based upon additives, regardless of Islamic principles, and then he attaches a document making many foods haraam with a statement leading to polytheism at the top it where it states: “Yaa Muhammad”! This statement means:
1. In the Arabic language: “O Muhammad” which is call to him.
2. A disrespect as the Messenger (salallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was hardly ever called by his name by his beloved Companions, he was adressed as: “O Messenger of Allaah”. Only the bedouins and the unbelievers would call him by “O Muhammad”.
3. To call upon the Messenger (salallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) or any other Prophet or any other human being who has passed over to the next life (of the barzakh in the grave) for aid or assistance or refuge or intercession whilst you are in this world is major Shirk as mentioned in the Qur’aan, Sunnah and by the concensus of the Companions, the great Imaams as well as the four Imaams. Calling upon those who have passed on to the next life is a Soofi innovation borrowed from Christianity where they call upon and worship Prophet Jesus and the “Holy Saints”.
4. How weak is the argument of the one who calls to abandoment of eating additives and accusing those who eat them of being outright hypocrites without any knowledge-based principles or ‘usool or knowledge of usoolul-fiqh or the ‘aqeedah, yet he has no concern with the dangers involved in calling upon the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam)!
Ignore this foolishness from this individual and take these affairs back to the ‘ulamah ar-Rabbaaniyyoon (the well-grounded scholars of the Sunnah).

Thanks for reply.
Attacking the others is an easy job because “Ya Mohammad” pinches you.
In your reply it can be assumed that you show yourself as defender of Islam. Do you have courage to write openly about the members (the royals) of the Saudi-Wahaabi-Najdi-Dynasty who are, inspite of praying regularly and preaching Islam day and night, owners of five star hotels with bars and night clubs and womanizers, who overnight lose millions of Dollars/Euros/Pounds in the casinos and publish the books of so-called Muslim-authors particularly in Urdu and Arabic for the disunity amongst the Muslims?
The Muslims criticize the non-Muslims for all the adversities but are not ready to see their own character and hypocrisy.
It is a misunderstanding that if a Muslim recites Kalima and gives speech on Islam then she/he is a true Muslim. Abdullah Bin Abbai and his followers were nearbout always with Hazrat Mohammad Mustafa Sallaaho Alaihe Wa Aleihe Wassallam. Abdullah Bin Abbai and his followers performed Namaaz regularly, did Hajj regularly, and took part in Jihad and Ghazwa. But they were Munaafiq and such Munaafiq are and will be on this planet (earth) till its end.
If a Muslim enjoys the Haraam Additives nobody can stop her/him.
Covering letter about the Haraam Additives is neither a Fatwa nor a Foolishness but an Information.
Once again, may Almighty Allah guide us, Ameen Summa Ameen.

Asslamualaikum all brother and sister,
I read this blog by one saudi sister and few comments.I dont have so much knowledge about Islam as I belongs to an area where majority of people are Hindu.Muslim are in minority but still they fight with each other on same topic and always have differences because of this all.I always search on websites books etc about the true Islam.who is right and who is wrong? I read a lots of topics,articles etc by scholars,ulemas ………..but still not satisfied.Till date I learnt to follow what is in Holy Quran and Sahih ahadith.If I have dought about any thing I left that thing.I learnt Quran is not only to read evry morning and evening but to follow this as our Prophet(SWM) and his sahaba(RA) adharn it their life.Ahadith and sunnah of Holy Prophet(SWM) are not read and preach but before that we need to adopt them in our life.We always make Quran,Ahadith a weapon against our own brother/sister insteed of Batil to let them down.
Our Prophet(SWM) clearly informed us about each and every thing and how to react but still we are making our own openion and judging eachother.To judge who is right and who is wrong is not our duty.Its only Allah who know this all.Allah almighty clearly inform us through his Holy book Quran and life of Holy Prophet(SWM).
I am sorry to say nobody here of otherwise think about a real quesion.Who we are? Our Prophet(SWM) gave us a name.MUSLIM….. MOMIN.But strange we are fighting and arguing with eachother over sects.Every one is saying I am sunni, I am shia, wahabi, deobandi,slafi,saudi,barelvi etc etc…………
Angles MUNKIR-NAKEER are not going to ask about our sect.They will ask three quesions from every single person in their grave after death.
1) Who is your creator(Rabb)?
2) What is your religion?
3) Who is your Prophet or they ask about our holy prophet(SWM)?
If we answer correctly about these quesion only then we can think about rest and if we fail in our grave we fail forever.This is first stage,first exam after death and we are not serious about it.
My brothers/sisters our duty is try to follow commands of Allah and his Prophet(SWM).Nobody is the judge of dooms day eccept Allah.
Allah and his messenger know the best
Asslamualaikum

Why to see this site (http://www.thewahhabimyth.com/salafism.htm).They are afraid of facing the truth.There is no option to write your comments so that nobody should be able to put Wahabism “Open Naked”. You “Shaven Heads !!!!!!!”
Tablighi Jamaat and Wahabis in light of Ahadees:
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has Prophesied that many individuals and religious sects will cause dissension and mischief till the Day of Judgment. He has made a particular reference to the Wahhabi/Tableeghi Movement.
Hazrat Abu Huzaifa (Radiallhu Anhu) narrates a Hadith concerning the leaders of the mischief makers: “I swear by Allah that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has not left out a single leader of Fitna from this day to the day of Qiyamah. Their followers would number 300 or more and further gave their names and that of their tribes.” (Abu Dawood)
FIRST HADITH
Imam Bukhari (Radiallhu Anhu) quotes this Hadith from Abdullah ibn Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) once prayed for Syria (Shaam) and Yemen. It is narrated that there were some people of Najd also present in the gathering and they requested the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to make du’a for Najd also. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) continued saying: “O! Allah, Shower Blessings on Shaam and Yemen,” The people of Najd again requested the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to offer prayers for Najd. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “It is a place of tremor and Fitna (Mischief) and the horn of Shaitaan will rise from there.” (Bukhari Shareef, Vol. ii, PP. 1050)
It can be deduced from the above Hadith that Najd is neither blessed nor a good place but one of Fitna and Evil. Najd has been deprived of the prayers of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and therefore Najd has the seal of misery and misfortune and hoping for any good from there is going against the Will of Allah.
The Arabic word used in the above Hadith is Qarnush Shaitaan, which normally means the horn of Shaitaan. But the ‘Misbahul Lughaat’, a dictionary printed in Deoband has the following meaning: “One who follows the advice of Shaitaan.” (Misbahul Lughaat, pp/663). Thus we learn that a Najdi/Wahhabi group will emerge, as pointed out by Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and this group will follow the advice of Shaitaan (Shaitaan refuses to respect Prophets and Saints, remember his refusal to bow to Hazrat Adam (Alayhi Salaam) is mentioned in the Quran. It will create havoc in the Muslim world. We are now witnessing the emergence of the Wahhabis who, with the assistance of petrodollars, are sweeping the Muslim world and are bribing them into accepting Wahhabism as the official version of Islam. Wahhabism is a disease but so many are misled into believing that it is curing the Ummah of Shirk, Kufr and Bidah. It is being portrayed as a revivalist movement. This is against the Ahadith. Looking at the geographical position of Najd, it lies to the East of Medina. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) pointed towards the East and said:
“There, that is the direction from where Fitna will emerge.”
SECOND HADITH
Abdullah bin Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) narrates in Muslim Shareef: “The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) once emerged from the room of his wife, Hazrat Ayesha (Radiallahu Anha) and pointing towards Najd exclaimed:
‘This is the center of Kufr from where the horn of Shaitaan will rise’.”
(Muslim Shareef Vol. ii, PP. 1394)
THIRD HADITH
Allama Dahlan narrates an authentic Hadith in his book ‘Addarus Sunniah’, which he has quoted from Sihaah.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said: “There will rise a group of people in the East who will recite the Holy Quran, but alas, the Quran will not go beyond their throat. This group will keep rising till the Day of Judgment and they will eventually rise with Dajjal. Their main symbol will be to sit in groups (Halqa).”
(Addarus Sunniah, PP. 50)
It should be noted from the above Hadith, that, the center of Kufr and Shaitaan is situated to the East of Medina. You will also note that Najd lies to the East of Medina from where a group of so-called Muslims will recite the Holy Quran but it will not penetrate beyond their throat. They will invite the masses towards the Holy Quran and religion. Now, if you examine the situation carefully, you would observe without any fear of contradiction, that reference is made to no other Group besides the notorious Tableeghi Jamaat whose one end is in Delhi and the other is implanted in Najd (Riyadh).
CONFIRMATION BY MOLWI MASOOD AALAM NADWI
The above Nadwi writes in his well known book “Muhammad Ibne Abdul Wahab” – on the side commentary: “The Southern part of Najd has the famous town of Riyadh, the Capital of his (Wahhabi) headquarters in Dariya. Both these villages are in the valley called Waadi Hanifa (situated in Najd).” (PP. 16)
Allama Dahlan has quoted the following Ahadith from the Sihaah.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “During the initial part of my Dawah in Mecca, I particularly invited the outside tribes who used to arrive during the Hajj season. From these tribes the most hostile and ugly reaction was from the Banu Hanifa tribe” (The same tribe in which Ibné Abdul Wahab was born. He founded Wahhabism which is begin followed by the Tableeghi Jamaat) (Addarus Sunniah, PP. 52)
He quotes a further Hadith, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radiallhu Anhu) reports that the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “From the tribes that live in Waadi Hanifa, Fitna shall emerge till the final era. That valley shall be notorious for its fitna because of the rise of false leaders.” (PP. 52)
Hazrat Imraan, the son of Hazrat Haseen (Radiallhu Anhu) reports:
that the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) disliked three tribes life long. (1) Banu Saqeef; (2) Banu Hanifa; (3) Banu Umayya. (Tirmizi Shareef)
FOURTH HADITH
It is reported in Mishkat from Hazrat Abu Said Khudri (Radiallhu Anhu) who narrates that:
“Once we were in the presence and company of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). He was distributing booties (Spoils of War) when a person named Zul-Khawaisara, who was from the tribe of Bani Tamim addressed the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) “Oh Muhammad Be Just!” “. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: “A Great pity that you have doubts, if I am unjust then who will be just, you are a loser and a failure.” Zul-Khawaisara’s attitude infuriated Hazrat Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) and he pleaded with the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to permit him to slay Zul-Khawaisara. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) remarked: “Leave him, as his slaying will serve no good purpose, as he is not the only individual but there are a host of others like him and if you compare their prayers and fasting to that of yours, you yourself will feel ashamed. These are the people who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, with all these apparent virtues they will leave the fold of Deen just like the arrow leaves the bow.” (Miskhat Shareef, PP. 535)
FIFTH HADITH
The previous Hadith has also been narrated as follows: “A person with eyes protruding, with a long beard and head clean-shaven came to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and declared: ‘O Muhammad! (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) fear Allah. “‘ The Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: “If I disobey Allah, then who else will obey Him? I am obedient to Allah at all times and never disobedient. Allah has sent me as Amin(Honest for the entire world, but you don’t accept me as an honest man?’ A Sahabi (Companion) became infuriated and sought permission to remove him from the presence of the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) prevented the Sahabi from doing so After the person had left, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “From his progeny will rise a Group who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats. They will leave the Deen just as an arrow leaves the bowstring. They will kill the Muslims but spar the idolaters. If I ever confronted these people I would slaughter them just as the people of Aad had been destroyed” (Mishkat Shareef, pp/535)
SIXTH HADITH
Shareekh Ibn Shihab (Radiallhu Anhu) also narrates a similar incident of a person who displayed disrespect towards the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). He states the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said “Nearing Qiyamah there will be a Group of people who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go below their throats. They will leave the true Religion of Islam as fast as an arrow leaves the bow. They will be recognized by the shavings of their entire head and they will move in Groups and their last Group will emerge with Dajjal, when you meet them you will discover their nature and character, the worst of its kind.” (Mishkat pp/309 – Prints may vary and pages may be different in other publications) The aforementioned Hadith are the words of a Great and Noble Prophet of Allah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) who is the possessor of Unseen Knowledge, who knows the signs and the secrets of the future. All Praise is due to Allah, that we do not have to search far for this Group, as the Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) has mentioned the different signs of this notorious Group, so we are able to detect our enemies without difficulty.
Another sign mentioned in recognizing this particular Group is that they will be so punctual and devoted to their Salaat, that one will feel ashamed of ones own Salaat compared to theirs. It is obvious that these qualities are prevalent amongst the Tableegh Jamaat. For example, you will agree that there are thousands of individuals, nay, many millions of individuals that are performing Salaat for a period of over 40 to 50 years, an yet, they do not possess a sign on their forehead (sign of Sajda) whereas, very surprisingly, the devotees of the Tableeghi Jamaat get the mark of Sajda on their forehead within a few weeks! The reason for this is very clear, they deliberately press and rub their foreheads on the mussallah to obtain the much coveted mark. This is to display to the Muslims, their so-called piousness. An other sign of this Group is that they will consider all other persons as being inferior to them and even those of high standing-in society are looked down upon by them. The most glaring sign of recognizing these people is their constant attempts in degrading the Prophets and Aulia (Prophets and Saints) of Allah.
These signs are prevalent amongst the Tableeghi Jamaat. They look down upon all Sunni Muslims who are, without any doubt, true and devout Muslims. They openly challenge the Ulema and Imams. They engage in discussions and arguments on matter which they themselves do not understand and yet they have the audacity to degrade the status and the Glory of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam).
In the fifth Hadith it is mentioned that another sign of this notorious Group is that they will shed the blood of fellow Muslims and will have no dispute whatsoever, with the’ idolaters. This glaring sign is also present in the present Tableeghi Jamaat. You have often witnessed or heard that in certain Masjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had a dispute or in a certain Masjid the Tableeghi Jamaat had come with sticks, chains, knives, etc. You have also noticed that when and wherever they fight it is always with the Muslims and not with the Kafirs and Mushriks (Polytheists). You may have also noticed that when or wherever they confront the Kafirs or Mushriks, which is seldom or never, they tug their tails between their legs and run. This is true in India, during Hindu Muslim Riots.
In the sixth Hadith it was mentioned that a peculiar sign of this Group will be the shaving of their head completely. This act is now reckoned to be its sign and emblem as such they advise their followers and Mureeds (Disciples) to also shave their heads and therefore you will notice that most of them are bald.
A STRANGE FACT
The Arabic word Thaleeq (Shaving) as used in the Ahadith must be taken into consideration. The common translation of the word Thaleeq is clean-shaving of the entire head. The Deoband scholars in Misbahul Lughat – page-148 give its meaning as ‘to turn around and sit in a circle’. This translation fits like a glove with the Movement of the Tableeghi Jamaat, one translation is regarding them moving around and the other indicating their sitting in circles in Masjids and doing Kitab-reading as a splinter group detached from the other Musallies. They cut across the Imam and display a defying attitude. They never read the Quran. They love the Kitab written by Molvi Zakariya. They will never participate in Khatamul Quran organized in Mosques on certain nights or auspicious nights. If the Imam is delivering Tafseerul Quran, or Darse Hadith or fiqah lessons or even Zikrullah, these people never take part, as if they are super Muslims and everybody else is 3rd grade! These Tableeghis are programmed internationally to behave in this manner. It is not peculiar to any one country. This is the global strategy to destabilize the Muslims The anti-Muslim West has realized that they cannot break the Muslims from outside. They will have to use a group of hypocrites, who will use Western financial resources, and creep into Muslim society, systematically dismantling them and fragmenting them. Remember, all this is done in the name of establishing the Sunnah and “The Mubarak Tareeqa” of our Beloved Rasoolullah(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), as claimed by them!
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (Radiallhu Anhu) and Hazrat Anas (Radiallhu Anhu) report that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) stated: “My Ummat is destined to differ and be divided. So a group will arise whose talks will sound very good but their character will be misleading. They will read the Quran but it will not descend below their throats (just oral reading). They will leave Deen just as an arrow pierces and goes right through the prey. They will not return to Islam. They are the worst of creation because of their nature and constitution. They will call the people towards the Quran and Deen whilst in reality they will have nothing to do with Islam. Whoever will confront them, he will be the most beloved servant of Allah. The Sahaba inquired: “Ya Rasoolullah, (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) what is their sign?” He replied: “Sitting in a Halqa (circle).”(Mishkat Shareef, pp/308)
SEVENTH HADITH
Hazrat Ali (Radiallhu Anhu) once narrated: “I swear by Allah that to fall from the sky to the Earth is very simple for me, but to utter one false word in reference to the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) is a very difficult and impossible task for me.”
Hazrat Ali(Radiallhu Anhu) then narrated as follows:
“I heard the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying that as the Day of Qiyamah approaches there will appear a group of youths with a low mental capacity and understanding, apparently they will talk of good but their Imaan will not go beyond their throat and they will leave the true Deen like an arrow leaves the prey. Wherever you find them, you should make Jihaad with them. (Bukhari Shareef, pp/1024)
EIGHTH HADITH
The following Hadith is reported by Hazrat Abu Naim (Radiallhu Anhu) in his book entitled ‘Huliya’. Hazrat Abu Umana Bahili (Radiallah Anhu) narrates that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said “Before the Day of Qiyamah, they (Tableeghi Jamaat) will spread and attack bitterly like the small and the large insects and whosoever witnesses this period must seek refuge in Allah.” (Huliya)
Hazrat Hassan Basri (Radiallhu Anhu) narrated the following Hadith, “The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said that there will come a time when people will speak of worldly affairs in the Masjid and when this period arrives, keep away from such people as Allah has no relation with them.” (Mishkaat)
In the previous Hadith, above, it is stated about this Group, that it will consist of youths of low mental capacity and understanding. If one desires to confirm this sign then one has to go to their Ijtima (as an observer) and one would find people of both these categories. You will also notice that a great number of ignorant people joining the Tableeghi Jamaat with the idea in mind that they are doing a great service to Islam. You will also find a group of little children from schools, colleges, madressas and the general public who without thinking or understanding join the Tableeghi Jamaat in the belief that they are rendering a religious service. These innocent, simple-minded individuals unwittingly become target of their deception and fraud. Thus, many youth and unwary persons have unconsciously joined the Tableeghi Jamaat due to their misleading tactics. In the eighth Hadith it is stated that before Doomsday the ‘Mullahs’ will multiply like the insects and the Masjids will be turned into a village pavilions or rural clubs. It is apparent from observation and experience that the Tableeghi Jamaat is a living picture of this Prophecy. There are a great number of individuals, who by merely reading a few pages of the “Tableeghi Nisab” (Teachings of Islam), automatically become Moulvies and Alims. These so-called Mullahs now utter disrespect and disregard for the Great Ulema, who have spent the best and greater part of their lives in attaining Islamic Knowledge at reputed colleges and Universities, here and abroad.
The state of Masjids has now become the center of various activities besides a place of Worship. These gypsies (Tableeghi Jamaat members) have transformed the Masjid into a hostel, with canteen and sleeping hall and engage in other worldly affairs. This disgraceful and tormenting attitude towards the Masjid is both shocking and disheartening.
NINTH HADITH
Sayed Allama Dahlan (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) quotes in his book ‘Addarus Sunnia’ an authentic Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) which states:
“There will be a Group of people emerging from the East who will recite the Holy Quran but it will not go down their throats. They will leave the folds of Islam like an arrow leaves the bow never to return. A feature to recognize this Group is that their heads would be shaven clean.” (Addarus Sunnia, PP. 49)
From the above Hadith it will be noted that since they deviate from the truth it is impossible for them to return to the Right Path. This Hadith could be put to a simple test by yourself, for the sake of confirmation of your doubts, if any, then confront a staunch follower of the Tableeghi Jamaat and try and influence him a thousand times and try t rid him of his false belief and not to associate with those who degrade the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and to believe in the true status of the Aulia Allah’s (Saints). Surprisingly, you will note that your attempts and confrontation will fall on deaf ears and they will neither return t the truth nor will they try to reason and see the truth. Muhaddith Kabir Imam Abu Ya’la (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) narrates a Hadith from Hazrat Anas bin Malik(Radiallhu Anhu) and the Author of ‘lbriz’ who states:
“Hazrat Anas Bin Malik (Radiallhu Anhu) narrates that in Medina, there lived a very pious youngster. One day we made reference about this youngster to the Holy Prophet(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). Inspite of the Sahaba describing the youngster’s features and character to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) was unable to recognize the youngster made mention of. However, a few days later, whilst we were in the company of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam), the young man passed that way. On seeing the young man, the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) exclaimed: ‘I see the scabs of Shaitaan imprinted on his face. The youngster then approached the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) and made salutation. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said to him:’Is it not true that right now you are thinking that there is no one better than yourself here, ‘The youngster then replied: ‘Yes, these thoughts did pass my mind.’He then walked away into the Masjid. The Prophet then inquired as to who will kill this person. Hazrat Abu Bakr(Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to do so and entered the Masjid and saw the person he was to kill engrossed in performing his Salaat and he remembered a Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) which prohibited one from killing a person who is performing his Salaat and returned to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam).
The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) again inquired as to who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to kill him and entered the Masjid and found the youngster performing his Sajda and with the same thoughts as Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radiallhu Anhu), Hazrat Umar (Radiallhu Anhu) returned to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). For the third time the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) again inquired who will kill the youngster, this time Hazrat Ali (Radiallhu Anhu) volunteered to do so, the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:’You will surely kill him, if you find him.’
When Hazrat Ali entered the Masjid, he was surprised to see that the youngster was no longer in the Masjid and he too like the others returned to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam). The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: ‘If you had only killed him then all the Fitna in my Ummah till Day of Qiyamah would have been wiped out and no two persons in my Ummah would have fought between themselves.” (Ibreez Shareef, pp/277, Author Allama Shah Abdul Aziz Dabbaag (Rahmatullahi Alaihi)). The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) informed the Sahaba (Companions) that among my Ummah will rise a Group of people who will recite the Quran, invite to good talks, will be punctual for their Salaat and will be mindful of their fasting, yet they will have no relation with Islam. With this confusion in their minds the Sahaba asked the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) to forecast a sign to recognize this particular Group of people. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied that their head will be shaven clean or sitting in circles.
Let us all fervently pray to Almighty Allah, with the Grace and Blessings of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) that Allah grants protection to all true Muslims from this false an astrayed Sect. I invite you to be impartial and ask yourself one question. Where is that group which the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) described so vividly in so many Ahadith? Is it so difficult to pinpoint them? Surely these prophetic statements are a pen-portrait of the Tableeghi Jamaat.
SUMMARY OF AHADITH
Zul Khuwaisra – the man who showed so much disrespect to the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) was from the tribe of Bani Tamim. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) foretold that the Wahhabi group who will cause much fitna, will be the off-springs of the above Munaafiq. Allama Dahlaan, the celebrated Historian of our era writes: “Zul Khuwaira was of the Banu Tamim tribe and so was Ibne Abdul Wahab Najdi.” (Addarus Sunniah, pp/51). These Ahadith certainly do not fit the Kharajees because they were not the off-springs of Bani Tamim. Shah Abdul Haq the great Muhaddis of Delhi writes: “The Kharajees were not the descendants of Zul Khuwaisra.” (Ashatul Lamaat, Commentary on Mishkat pp/535)
Moulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar has made the following observations about the Wahhabi Najdi Jamaat: “The hands of Najd and Najdis are red with the blood of Muslims, this is their only achievement. Now too, there are hostilities with the Yemenis and a war is looming.” (Maqaalaate Muhammad Ali, Part 1,PP. 37)
Your claims are full of contradictions and errors. Additionally, the efforts of the Tableeghi Jamaat are part of the reason for the Islamic Revival today. A mere look at the effects of their efforts throughout the world (USA, England, France, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Fiji, Malaysia, and over a hundred other countries) proves this.
Additionally, you gave no Shar`ee arguments against the Tableeghi Jamaat; only mere speculation and invalid claims against the Tableeghi Jamaat. In reality, everything that the Tableeghi Jamaat does has been sanctioned by great scholars, including some of the greatest scholars of the past century: Shaykh Abu Fattaah Abu Ghuddah (RA), Maulana Hasan Ali Nadwi (RA), Shaykhul Hadeeth Maulana Zakariyyah Kandhlawi (RA), Mufti Taqi Uthmaani (RA), and countless others.
Shaykh Abu Bakr Al-Jazaa’iri, one of the greatest scholars of Saudi, who has been teaching in Medinah for decades, speaks highly of the Tableeghi Jamaat. He says, “40 days with the Tableeghi Jamaat is more effective in reforming a person than 40 years in this madrasah.” The Imams of the Haram have also spoken highly about it.
“So what Islamic sect does the central region and the government follow? It is Sunni and we strictly follow Sheikh Ahmed bin Hanbil and Ibn Taiymiah, both of whom came long before Mohamed bin Abdulwahab.”
AS IF!!!!
You cannot be naive enough to believe that?
Assalamo Alaikum,
Wish to make an announcement that I have left the wahhabi sect, done tawbah and have become a proper muslim following Quran and Sunnah.
Once again, may Almighty Allah guide us, Ameen Summa Ameen
Akbar Azam Manzar
may allah guide us, the tableeghi jamat is making great efforts in the u.k to revive deen, take a look at the ‘deobandi’ masjids and the ‘sunni’ masjids, you will see a great age gap between the ages of 6 to 60 in the ‘sunni’ masjids and the ‘deobandi’ masjids the youth are ever present. absolutely no youth at all in the ‘sunni’ masjids, was islam spread by the youth or the old?.surely the tableeghi jamat must be doing something right. when this effort of dawat was revived my maulana Ilyas (rehmatullah alayhai), for many decades it was rideculed indeed by its own scholars and especially by the ‘alhu sunna wal jamma’ scholars. now ‘dawati islami’ has been created only 20 or 30 years ago to counter the great work done by the tableeghi jamat, they have even adopted their methods by going out on the street and preaching, much like tableeghi jamat. this is the part and parcel of life.
1st first they will be against us – for many decades tableeghi jamat was rideculed and was giving fatwas against it by both sects, it was the butt of jokes.
2nd they will attempt to copy us – ‘dawat islami’ has sprung up to try and oppose tableeghi jamat, and after trying many other ways to preach, has now turned to preaching on the streets to youngsters much like tableeghi jamat after seeing the success of their efforts
3rd they will join – soon my freinds soon they will join us
and Allah knows best
Salamu alaikum wa rahma tullah
May Allah have mercy on the great sheik of islam and the muslims as a whole, the reviver of the sunnah and the imam of dawa salafiyah of his time sheik muhamed ibn abdulwahab al najdee al tameemee.
The greatness of the sheik and his knowledge can be clearly seen from his books that are WIDELY studied in the muslim lands. The funny thing is that those who call people ‘wahabi’ don’t know anything about the sheik nor have they read a single book of his.
The only people that call someone wahabi are peple who come from the following backgrounds either from a sufies, or the rawafid (shia) qatalahum Allah and the kufar.
If you criticize the sheik then bring proof on where the sheik went wrong.
Once again rahimuhullah sheik muhamed ibn abdulwahab al najdee al tameemee
mashallah very well said
“The only people that call someone wahabi are peple who come from the following backgrounds either from a sufies, or the rawafid (shia) qatalahum Allah and the kufar.”
These statements are reflecting the bad habit of follower(s) of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. Need to takfir other(s) to establish your own understanding? Very very very bad akhlak.
Reminds me of a discussion or rather an argument I had once with someone over the term ‘wahabi’. According to that someone, Islam has different ‘brands’ and wahabism is one of them ,and it’s an extreme ‘brand’ of Islam.
It’s definitely ignorance of Islam that makes people attack this beautiful man , sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulwahab, who got people in Arabia out of darkness into light.
That was a good post.
salam, thank u, u are right and ignorance is a tool of shaitan
salam
Aslam-U-Alikum
All wahabis believe that only they are on the right path and everyone else is on shirk.
My Allah(swt) guide all of us on the right path.
Assalam ‘alaikum warahmatuLlah wabartakatuHu
Everyone know that Wahhabi claims to be the true Muslims and others are shirk. Everyone defend Wahhabi/Wahhabism, please read: “Al-Shawa’iq al-Ilahiyyah fi al-Radd ‘ala al-Wahhabiyya” by Sulaiman ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab (older brother Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab), and ” Al-Durar al-Sunniyya fi al-Radd ‘ala al-Wahhabiyya” by Sayyid Ahmad ibn Zaini Dahlan. Sharp alternative to understand dangers posed by Wahhabism.
There !
That clears my concept of wahabis & wahabi(sm?)
Got it straight from the horse’s mouth ! : )
JazakAllah !
about inibn tymiyya
read the followings, wahabbi take ibin taymiyya as leader.
ibin taymiyya some who has more knowledge than his wisdom, his wisdom could not bear that, then astray himself and also other muslims, making fitna…. and symbol of “has knowlegde but it is not hayir(good) for him.”
———————————————–
Ibn Taymiyah: the Wahhabi founder’s role model
It is worth giving an overview of a man named Ahmed Ibn Taymiyah (1263-1328) who lived a few hundred years before Muhammad ibn `Abdul-Wahhab. The Wahhabi founder admired him as a role model and embraced many of his pseudo-Sunni positions. Who exactly was Ibn Taymiyah and what did orthodox Sunni scholars say about him? Muslim scholars had mixed opinions about him depending on his interpretation of various issues. His straying from mainstream Sunni Islam on particular issues of creed (`aqeedah) and worship (`ibadat) made him an extremely controversial figure in the Muslim community.
Ibn Taymiya has won the reputation of being the true bearer of the early pious Muslims, especially among reformist revolutionaries, while the majority of orthodox Sunnis have accused him of reprehensible bid’ah (reprehenisible innovation), some accusing him of kufr (unbelief).[4]
It behooves one to ask why Ibn Taymiyah had received so much opposition from reputable Sunni scholars who were known for their asceticism, trustworthiness, and piety. Some of Ibn Taymiyah’s anti-Sunni and controversial positions include:
(1) His claim that Allah’s Attributes are “literal”, thereby attributing God with created attributes and becoming an anthropomorphist;
(2) His claim that created things existed eternally with Allah;
(3) His opposition to the scholarly consensus on the divorce issue;
(4) His opposition to the orthodox Sunni practice of tawassul (asking Allah for things using a deceased pious individual as an intermediary);
(5) His saying that starting a trip to visit the Prophet Muhammad’s (s) invalidates the shortening of prayer;
(6) His saying that the torture of the people of Hell stops and doesn’t last forever;
(7) His saying that Allah has a limit (hadd) that only He Knows;
(8) His saying that Allah literally sits on the Throne (al-Kursi) and has left space for Prophet Muhammad (s) to sit next to Him;
(9) His claim that touching the grave of Prophet Muhammad (s) is polytheism (shirk);
(10) His claim that that making supplication at the Prophet Muhammad’s grave to seek a better status from Allah is a reprehensible innovation;
(11) His claim that Allah descends and comparing Allah’s “descent” with his, as he stepped down from a minbar while giving a sermon (khutba) to Muslims;
(12) His classifying of oneness in worship of Allah (tawheed) into two parts: Tawhid al-rububiyya and Tawhid al-uluhiyya, which was never done by pious adherents of the salaf.
Although Ibn Taymiyah’s unorthodox, pseudo-Sunni positions were kept away from the public in Syria and Egypt due to the consensus of orthodox Sunni scholars of his deviance, his teachings were nevertheless circulating in hiding. An orthodox Sunni scholar says:
Indeed, when a wealthy trader from Jeddah brought to life the long-dead ‘aqida [creed] of Ibn Taymiya at the beginning of this century by financing the printing in Egypt of Ibn Taymiya’s Minhaj al-sunna al-nabawiyya [italics mine] and other works, the Mufti of Egypt Muhammad Bakhit al-Muti‘i, faced with new questions about the validity of anthropomorphism, wrote: “It was a fitna (strife) that was sleeping; may Allah curse him who awakened it.”
It is important to emphasize that although many of the positions of Ibn Taymiyah and Wahhabis are identical, they nonetheless contradict each other in some positions. While Ibn Taymiyah accepts Sufism (Tasawwuf) as a legitimate science of Islam (as all orthodox Sunni Muslims do), Wahhabis reject it wholesale as an ugly innovation in the religion. While Ibn Taymiyah accepts the legitimacy of commemorating Prophet Muhammad’s birthday (Mawlid) – accepted by orthodox Sunni Muslims as legitimate – Wahhabis reject it as a reprehensible innovation that is to be repudiated.
Ibn Taymiyah is an inspiration to Islamist groups that call for revolution. Kepel says, “Ibn Taymiyya (1268-1323) – a primary reference for the Sunni Islamist movement – would be abundantly quoted to justify the assassination of Sadat in 1981…and even to condemn the Saudi leadership and call for its overthrow in the mid-1990s”.[5]
Sivan says that only six months before Sadat was assassinated, the weekly Mayo singled out Ibn Taymiyya as “the most pervasive and deleterious influence upon Egyptian youth.” Sivan further says that Mayo concluded that “the proliferating Muslim associations at the [Egyptian] universities, where Ibn Taymiyya’s views prevail, have been spawning various terrorist groups.” Indeed, a book entitled The Absent Precept, by `Abd al-Salam Faraj – the “spiritual” leader of Sadat’s assassins who was tried and executed by the Egyptian government – strongly refers to Ibn Taymiyya’s and some of his disciples’ writings. Three of four of Sadat’s assassins willingly read a lot of Ibn Taymiyya’s works on their own.[6]
Ibn Taymiyah is also noted to be a favorite of other Salafi extremists, including the Muslim Brotherhood’s Syed Qutb. Ibn Taymiyyah’s student, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, is also frequently cited by Salafis of all colors.
Ibn Taymiyah’s “fatwa” of jihad against Muslims
What is also well-known about Ibn Taymiyah is that he lived in turbulent times when the Mongols had sacked Baghdad and conquered the Abassid Empire in 1258. In 1303, he was ordered by the Mamluk Sultan to give a fatwa (religious edict) legalizing jihad against the Mongols. Waging a holy war on the Mongols for the purpose of eliminating any threat to Mamluk power was no easy matter. The Mongol Khan Mahmoud Ghazan had converted to Islam in 1295. Although they were Muslims who did not adhere to Islamic Law in practice, and also supported the Yasa Mongol of code of law, they were deemed apostates by the edict of Ibn Taymiyah. To Ibn Taymiyah, Islamic Law was not only rejected by Mongols because of their lack of wholesale adherence, but the “infidel” Yasa code of law made them legal targets of extermination. The so-called jihad ensued and the Mongol threat to Syria was exterminated. Wahhabis and other Salafis to this day brand the Mongol Mahmoud Ghazan as a kafir (disbeliever). Orthodox Sunni Muslims, however, have praised Mahmoud Ghazan as a Muslim. Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani writes:
In fact, Ghazan Khan was a firm believer in Islam. Al-Dhahabi relates that he became a Muslim at the hands of the Sufi shaykh Sadr al-Din Abu al-Majami’ Ibrahim al-Juwayni (d.720), one of Dhahabi’s own shaykhs of hadith….During his rule he had a huge mosque built in Tabriz in addition to twelve Islamic schools (madrasa), numerous hostels (khaniqa), forts (ribat), a school for the secular sciences, and an observatory. He supplied Mecca and Medina with many gifts. He followed one of the schools (madhahib) of the Ahl al-Sunna [who are the orthodox Sunnis] and was respectful of religious scholars. He had the descendants of the Prophet mentioned before the princes and princesses of his house in the state records, and he introduced the turban as the court headgear.[7]
Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhab would later follow Ibn Taymiyah’s footsteps and slaughter thousands of Muslims in Arabia.
NUTS! The comments to this post are totally screwy! Get a life and stop insulting each other people!
Thankyou Saudi Woman.
I grew up in Thuqba (Al Khobar) and in Jeddah as a young boy. Later I worked and lived in Riyadh.
Wahabi is NOT a sect (Shia is sect from arabic definition of shia), not a Madhab! (Shafi, Hanbali, Hanafi, Maliki are Madhabs).
I was raised sunni, and I have seen people of my tribe/culture visiting shrines (maqbara) and revering dead people claimed to have greater connection with . . . yes, you know who!!! I saw people idolising the deceased. This scene shook me without having read Islam in detail.
In Saudia, in mosques, I hear loud A’meen, in my neighborhood I saw dead being taken for burial immediately, I heard that graves had no ornaments, I saw shops pull shutters down when salaah time, I saw no worship at shrines, I heard people with bizare names (which lacked knowledge or meaning in Arabic) not beig allowed into KSA – I saw the oneness of Allah being accepted – some call this strict or fundamental version of Islam. I then heard from other A’JamaatW.Sunna people call Saudi’s Wahabi and kafir.
I discovered this in my childhood in Saudia amongst my Saudi friends, Salem, Naif, Hatim, Saad, Khalid, Abdullah . .
I understand that a lot of corruption of belief in Islam has happened due to revivers in India (barelvi, deobandi, ahlejamaat ahle sunnat), whose lack of ‘real’ arabic, lack of scholarly education, reliance on translation (many bad), acceptance of dubious hadith or hadith that favoured cultural conceptions of the revivers, as the main cause of misconceptions.
I am becoming to realise arabic translations of the quran as one cause, cultural prejudices as second, and lack of astute mind with wider owledge of the world. Unfortunately many mullas (sheikhs) were students who failed to get higher education in medicine or other academic sciences, so these academically weak students end up studying islam at universty and with less astute minds they begin to analyse and spread Islam. when an well read person gets through, the chances are he is biased by his culture and upbringing (like niqab vs. covering bosom or not allowing women to watch football or drive a car).
now shia and sunni definitey a political divide. it is well know dynastic leadership is nepotism, so shiasm s not the most favourable option, sunni khalifas wanting approval of ahlebayt is politics, and it is abundantly clear that Mohammad(s) is the last prophet, so why is another imam/khalifa required? . . . . . . why? traditionally we like a leader, a person, to look upto (getting close to worship again).
duboius hadith, contradicting, collected hundred of years after they were heard have no place either. only hadith with DIRECT reference to quran are worthy of authenticity without doubt.
we are indeed living in times when fiqhs are forming. I see on Pakistani TV these guys in green turbans and white shawls, I see Taliban – some of them misguided and ignorant, I see the sects evolved from India spreading their versions of authentic islam t british muslims, I see rise of subitters, like the self-proclaimed messenger from egypt. it is a sad case of affairs – culture, lack of islamic academics who are culturally unbiased, and lack of good example by our great leaders.
read the quran in arabic. read different translations if you dont understand arabic, reach your own conclusion rather than relying on tafseer.
Actually the ulemaa of Deoband have made some of the biggest contributions to Ilm and Deen in the past century. Read a book called “The Elders of Deoband.” One of their contributions includes a commentary of Saheeh Bukhari (Faydh al-Bari) which was accepted as the standard in Saudi Arabia and hailed as the best commentary of Bukhari.
In fact, Deobandi ulemaa (such as Mufti Taqi Uthmaani of Pakistan) are revered by Saudi scholars and scholars around the world.
Very nice post.. i am from pakistan and follow the interpretation of Imam Taymiyyah and in fiqh Imam Abu Hanifah.
Even Here people call me wahhabi because I talk againt Shrines/graves worshipping and Bid’aat.. May Allah guide us all to the straight path
I was excited and surprised to find this blog….
I was born and grew up in the well, some of my years i had spent them in my parents home land..
Grew up a Christian and converted to Islam a few years a go……..I was working in Jeddah and I started to ask what and who is ‘wahabis’ with every question i was told forget about that it’s not good……later i found out who sheik Mohamed was and what he did and i value all his opinions and are sound and factual…when i came back to England and talk to a few people about him ….. mmmm…
Thank you for your post
Saudi Woman can I ask a Question..what can i be classified as a ‘wahabi’ or to the point how can I be one
I am now confused. I am from South Africa. Are people who do Jamaat work referred to as Wahabi’s?
Wow !!!MashaAllah! we are “Wahabi “(Tabligh)any problem?he he he
nice to see yout post 
thanks for sharing:)
Thanks. We really need subjects like this to tell other people what (Wahabi) means.
We, In Saudi Arabia, do not use the term Wahabi because we know that we only follow Muhammad peace & prayers be upon him.
We believe that Muhammad Ibn Abdulwahab is only a man who dedicated himself to Islamic most important issues. He struggled to lead illutrate people at his time to the right path.
Read all of the postings.If in doubt of whether its correct or otherwise to follow Sheikh Muhammad Wahab teachings or not, refer to Allah swt – ask him in your prayers and Inshallah he will answer you with some signs,a dream or connection with the truth via somebody.
There are many sincere Muslims be it in Saudi Arabia or else where but with different doctrines & idealogies but we must never underestimate the honour & role Allah SWT gave Prophet Muhammad SAW . He is NO ordinary man and NONEof us mortals can ever be like him as he is CHOSEN by the Almighty himself .
God is with you and in you – as preached by the Christians .
Allah swt said that he is nearer to us than our jugular vein – Quran .
We are connected to the divine via our hearts , as Allah swt only looks at our hearts .
Just like the internet which is connected to the main server . As long as you are still alive, you are connected BUT when you die the connection is severed .
Many arguments I see here & there , but best to ask the Almighty creator himself for a sign if in doubt & Inshallah he will answer .
He knows everything & whatever is in your hearts.
Saudiawoman,
I was so happy to find your sight awhile back and have been catching up on all your post.
Reading the comments on this post I found most commical. It seems all are wanting to prove their way of being Islamic or Muslim is right!
I am an American and these comments remind me of Christian’s who want to prove thier way (catholic, methodist, or whatever they belong to) is the only way.
The thing I find most disturbing from all religions is that people want to prove their points by referenceing books to read.
I will not tell anyone in anyway what religion is best but I will advise this to all who will listen,
Your chosen religion is a sham and untrue if you do not read your book (Bible, Torah, or Quran) and obey it. It is the only authority on your religion, every thing else is a man’s interpretation of what is written.
I find christians (because I do not know any Muslim’s or Islamist (not sure which term to use so please forgive me) are the biggest hypocrites of this. Christians are always wanting to tell you what you should believe and how to practice when 99% of them have not read their Bibles, go to feel good churche’s who preach a feel good message instead of preaching from the Bible, and WILL NOT stand behind what is written. Example is: The Bible says ”Do not kill”. So many people will tell you that (most did not read it they were told the Bible says that) but will vote (in American elections) to have abortion be ok in certain circumstances. HYPOCRITICAL !!!!!
I have always found religious sects ie. Catholic, Protestant, Jews, an now Islam (from what I am learning in the last 5 yr’s ) to be like race, you are not black, white or whatever, you are human.
Please ALL do not fight over whether you are a better religious sect, or sect of race, or sect of Muslim.
Just be the best your Holy Book wants you to be.
That way you KNOW you will get it RIGHT.
When we say “crazy Wahabis” we’re calling a spade a spade. It IS an ideology born out of the desert of extreme fundamentalism and repression. The majority of terrorists ARE Wahabi and there is a connection. Your ideology is one of exclusivity and oppression, touting itself as “real” Islam calling all those of us who are Sufis, Shias etc “kaafirs” for not agreeing with your archaic, medieval, hateful perspective.
Really the tone of this piece, despite being a tiny bit funny, is clearly biased against any other Islam and oh so Wahabi!
PS: thanks for giving the entire muslims world a name. And thanks for ruining my country.
I guess the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was “archaic, medieval, hateful” in your eyes. He said:
“Muslim narrated that Abu al-Hiyaj al-Asadi reported that Ali Ibn Abi Talib sent me as an envoy and advised me saying I am tasking you as the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) tasked me: You have to destroy all statues and level all raised tombs.”
And we know how much Sufis love tombs. I guess you’d have to call the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) a “Wahhabi” for ordering Ali (RA) to destroy tombs.
About Shi’as. They believe that Abu Bark (RA) and Umar (RA) will be in lower depths of hell than Iblis himself. This is pure hate. Which Sahaba do “Wahabbis” hate? Answer: not a single one. Also Shi’as believe that their twelve Imams are infallible and have knowledge of unseen. This is kufr.
Read the Qu’ran and study Islaam. You’re jahil.
watch and see wahabis exposed
The writer is of the view that the fatwa against women watching men in shorts as ludicrous….is in any event a cause for great concern for every sensible muslim.
Muslims ought to unite and discard all the mumbo jumbo that is cause for disunity of the UMMAH and find common grounds…..shame on us as we engage in internal bickering and act oblivious of the Kuffars attacks, rapes and destruction of the homes and livelyhood of our fellow muslim brothers and sisters all over the world….even the Kuffars with their pathetic and fictitious beliefs will unite when it comes to attacking muslims for any self created and/or fictitious reasons…a crying shame…
That guy was nuts, and the wahabi sect of belief he founded was so extreme that many saudis say that if the prophet (pbuh) was to return to the ecntral region today and practice his loving form of islam he would be branded an athiest.
As a westerner who got to know – however limited – some places in Saudi Arabia in the 70s I read the blog and the many commentaries with utmost interest. Thanks especially to Saudiwoman for clarifying things.
This is nothing but paltry propaganda, if you want to know what Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab did then go to the work of his own brother -Sulaiman Ibn Abdul Wahhab a real Hanbali Faqih (Hanbali Scholar) who refuted him in his book “The Divine Lightning” which is now availible in English in which Sulaiman refutes his brother in his making takfir of Muslims contrary to what this propagandist contends as ‘reeducation’, Ibn Abdul Wahhab Al Najdi and his followers not only made takfir of those people but resorted to war mongering and violence just like the khawarij did and this is recorded by various historians including the late and esteemed Imam Abu Zahra.
If you want an objective conception of about Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab without partiality then do read Imam Sana’ani, Ahmad Zayni Dahlan, Imam Ibn Abidin, Mohammad Bikheet Al-Motee’ee, Yusuf Dajawi, Mohammad Makhluf, Imam Kawthari, Hafiz Abdullah Ghumari, Shaykh Buti, Mohammad Alawi Maliki, Abdullah Harari, Hasan Saqqaf, Hasan Al-Maliki, and others on him and not just Wahhabi propaganda.
It is very funny when you want to fake a description for something everyone know very well. Wahhabis themselves know that they fellow Abdul Wahhab not Imam Ahmed.
You don’t need to LIE to clear (what you call) misconception!!!
I never saw a people as bad as Saudis (sorry to the few good people); they beat Pakistanis, Indians and all other (third-world-nations) expats.
Alhamedlillah, no one can do anything to me here as I’m westerner.
I would like to know what they have done to our brothers and sisters in Palestine or any muslim people in this world; just one real example and without fantasies please!!!
In Afghanistan, US have forced them to do so; to get rid of socialism which have speared over the whole region at that time.
I think you guys are mentally sick and schizophrenic!!! No cure for YOU!!!
Wa alsalam
I find your article Mrs. Al Nafjan very informative and precise according to what we have learned on our Saudi history classes at Saudi schools. I would like your premision to publish this in my FB page.
Thank you.
Reading all these entries–many of which, if not all of them, sounding sincere and well meaning–gave me a headache. Why do so many people have the need to follow old tribal, old desert religions–whether Judaism, Christianity, or Islam–or any other religion for that matter, rather than using their own brains, their inherent humanity, and link up with thoughtful, caring, peace loving human beings in their own world and around the globe?
Most wars have religious undertones. Most cruelty is inflicted in the name of “My God is better than your God,” etc. The oppression of women cries out. The oppression of working class people cries out. And the oppression of minorities cries out. And who benefits? (1) the rulers. (2) the religious leaders, (3) the rich, (4) men. And most of them make themselves the center of truth and knowledge and wisdom, when in reality, the misuse of religious books has done nothing to make this world a better world.
It’s time to make religions, all created by human beings to suit their purposes, a voluntary activity, but not force anyone into those private belief systems. “It’s liberating to recognize that supernatural beings are human creations … that there’s no such thing as “spirit” … that people are [...] responsible for themselves.” Check it out for yourself. Just google the “Council for Secular Humanism” and form your own views. http://www.secularhumanism.org/
And if you still feel that you are better off with your religious views, fine, but at least you have looked across one of the walls that separates so many of us around the world.
Salam, Shalom, Peace, Pace.
hah, trying to establish credibility by saying ….”Tameem tribe which coincidentally Sheikh Mohamed and I both belong to”
well, Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab belonged to which tribe and where are they today ?
Anyway, what is wahhabism ? who cares about wahhabism ?
does wahhabism allow Usury ( interest ) like the Saudi American Bank ( SAMBA ) owned by Mr. Evil ?
does wahhabism allow semi naked women on arab satellite tv channels ?
who is aal-ibrahim the owner of tv channels ?
okay, let us to do an exercise with ” SAUDIS ” and test their IQ ;
Saudi Law / Culture / Society requires that a man should not look on other woman ( not related to him ) that is why you see Saudi Woman wearing Burqa / Veil when she is in public….
but hold on, Saudi Law / Culture / Society allows men to watch semi naked women on MBC LBC ( owned mr evil ) Star Academy and other xxx channels but outside the home you cannot.
inside the home watch the awrah of women but don’t let your women show awrah to other men. pure hypocrisy.
Total screwed up society ; no wonder no one is interested in invading or occupying a country full of dump people , dump research, and dump intellectual while you can easily get everything ( $$$ ) without actually occupying.
Countries that need to be destroyed are real countries with civilization like Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc….
these gay-type GCC countries are only busy on women driving, misyar mutah marriage , bonus salary, vacation, cars, women wine,dancing, star academy etc etc….
For Saudis doing all sorts of satanic acts is not shirk or bidha!!!!
Shirk is ascribing a partner to Allah in terms of His Rububiyyah (Lordship), Asma wa Sifaat (Names and Attributes) and Uloohiyyah (Worship).
And bid’ah is a newly invented way [beliefs or action] in the religion, in imitation of the Sharee’ah (prescribed Law), by which nearness to Allaah is sought, [but] not being supported by any authentic proof – neither in its foundations, nor in the manner in which it is performed.
Now how you can compare committing sins (major and minor) to shirk and bid’ah? You need to learn Islaam.
Really love the opinions and comments by people who are not Saudi’s but THINK they know what they are saying. All I have to say is clean up your own yard before criticizing another’s. Some posts have such venom it’s hard to believe the authors of these venomous post are ever anything but negative people in general!!!!!
Sher:
Welcome to the Greater Middle East where all ideas get melted down. In the end, hardly anything gets done. Many people here do not know history or what they are talking about. Besides, they have no manners. Saudis do treat must of their guest workers kindly. The maids are another matter, on the negative side of the spectrum.
This what kaffirun like about Islam..fighthing each other without knowing what they are shouting to.. think my brother and sister…what the truth … dont just barking and give away comment that not base on 2 major source Alquran and Sunnah.. your comment without true knowledge and understanding might influence others… come back to 2 major source Alquran and Sunnah.. and if there some different ( not in THAUHID ) open your chest be peaces…
Can any body give us the details of the descendants of
his highness and the lifeline of the prophet, the king of hijaz, do we have his family living in today’s saudi arabia or they have been killed by the saud family.
Sayyid Hussein bin Ali descendants we want to know if their descendants live in saudi arabia or iraq or they have been killed by the saud family.
well the only thing i wanna say is that whabi dnt beleev in our beloved rasool (S.A.W) asthaghfaar tauba tauba. and us sunnis du. and i also no that wahabis dnt read namaz proply they only read farz asthaghfaar tauba tauba. And i also no that wen the read namaz they do sajdah on a stone. meaning they put a stone or sumthing on the prayer mat. asthagfaar tauba tauba. whilst us sunnis follow our beloveD rasool (S.A.W.) THEIR SUNAHS AND THERE hadiths. and wahabis are calle wobblers. they wobble alot. and ive got a frend who has 3 brothers who are wahabis and thats weird because hes a sunni himself. a propa sunni. and so r his paremts. so i dnt understand how can his 3 brothers b wahabi. so strange. his parents are sunni and his sister.
“And i also no that wen the read namaz they do sajdah on a stone. meaning they put a stone or sumthing on the prayer mat.”
What are you talking about? Only Shi’as do that. You’re so ignorant, it’s not even funny.
are u a wahabi to. that ur saying that???
and also,, sunnis dont like wahabis or shias.
brother, please dont even start about the sheits, they are truly the head bangers, im a sunni and so are my entire fam apart from one , all im gonna say is Allah knows best, and never 4get that , LA ILLA HA ILLALLAH MUHAMMED DUR RASOOLULLAH, may Allah forgive me for any spelling mistakes. dont know too much about wahabis but i know their teachings are different to ours,
WAHABBI/SALAFI / YAZEEDI,, what does it matter. Your all the descendants of Laanati yazeed, the great enemy of our Rasool pbuh and his holy family. Why do are you ashamed of being recognised as enemies of Islam.Yahudi Arabia is truly a den of serpents. How much have you yazeedi saudis done for our poor dying brothers in palestine?? Whilst you all eat pork and drink wine with the zionists Only Iran and Lebanon dare challenge your close brotheres the zionists. Onlyy Iran and Lebanon have offered any meaningful support to Palestine. Yahudi arabians will drown in their oil dollars insha’allah. Your country is the biggest sponsor of terrorism. How is this a part of islam? You will all suffer the fate of Yazeed.
sunnisis yess bro ur ryt. wahabis beleefs are different to sunni beliefs. and this shukeel or hueva he is, the wahabi, thinks heez all it. well first off all the guy i bet dont even read propa namaz. and they dont send durood upon our beloved prophet rasool (s.a.w.). when u shud recite durood. like e.g. dr.zakir naik. hez a relli big islamic scholar, and hez turned so many muslims into wahabism. and thats guna a sin. asthaghfaar. ive heard that wahabis vbrainwash pple with theire own made up baleefs. and u tel me bro hu does sajdah on a stone . asthaghfaar :0 and allah knows best. may allah make all wahabis into proper sunni muslis. and may wahabis convert into sunnis and become the lovers of our aashiqaane rasool (s.a.w.) ameen.
so what they all trying to deny? truly they dont read drood on our rasool saw, or on anybody who passes away,they dont do khatam either, or read full namaz, seen that with my own eyes.( nafal and sunnah were performed by the prophet saw himself) , plus the fact they are the extremists, and the brain washers , and as for anybody kussing in regards to visiting shrines as u describe them, we dont idolise or pray to them directly. are you dumb? we beleive in THE LAST PROPHET SAW END OF!!!!!!!!!! ps, not sure bout the doin the sajdah on a stone tho.
Asalamu Alaikum,,,Sunnisis
During the khilafah of Umar [may Allah be pleased with him] he ordered the tree of Hudaibiyah to be chopped down because people went and prayed there now tell me was Umar [may Allah be pleased with him] a wahabi or a sunni.
There is nothing as a wahabi or a sunni you are only muslim if you follow Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be on him) for eveything in life. And that is the straight path to Jannah. Just keep in mind an ayat of Surah Al An’am that our worship, our life and our death are all for Allah.
btw the digs were at da wobblers na u,
Asalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu
Of the 99 Attributes of Allah subhanahu waTa’ala Al wahab is one of them so whenever anyone calls you a wahabi he is actually calling you one of Allah attributes. Just like Azeem or Ghafoor which are commonly used names with muslims. Listening to them should not bring you in a fit of rage. Its actually an honor for you by call you a giver. We muslim are givers….we give charity…we give up our will to Allah and we give peace to anyone we meet.
Yes I agreee, we muslims are givers, we give give charity to the poor, we give prayers and thanks to Allah subhanahu waTa’ala and we give to the betterment of mankind but your Yahudi Arabia kings and clerics take peoples heads off without any fair trial. Islam prescribes strict procedures to ensure all people have fair trials in open honest courts . In your backward country women have no rights even though the Holy Quran gives women rights. You recently beheaded a woman for “witchcraft” if it wasn’t so tragic it would be laughable. We are in the 21st century not the
8th century. Women aren’t allowed to work in most jobs and aren’t even allowed to drive cars. What are the lovers of Yazeed afraid of? Are you scared that women may prove to better than you stupid men
Imam Anwar Al-Awlaqi said in his Seerah of the prophet (sallahu wa Aalaih wa salam) that the people at the time for the prophet (sallahu wa Aalaih wa salam) we more liberal than our time now and there were more conservative than us. This means that they were more tolerant towars women working. For example….during the battle of khyber some women offered Rasool Allah (sallahu wa Aalaih wa salam) services of medical assistance to the sahabah and he accepted…..but in our times people would not agree to this.
However witchcraft is a crime under sharia and is punishable with severity so that no one dares to take it up as a profession. And witchcraft was practised during since babylonian times and today as well.
And finally with repect to Arabia Kings you have no right to judge them in this manner. If a leader does not follow quran and sunnah while ruling the kingdom then it is considered as Kufr where man made laws are given preference than the laws of Allah.
So don’t get angry and agitated and call all men stupid and leave it all to Allah to decide who is right or wrong. Besides by stating what you have stated you are creating fitn and I would request you to keep to your self if you have any complaints.
Fear Allah and obey the rulers. If they are wrong they are accountable to Allah.
Abu Haamidah, So you think we should blindly follow thye tyrants and wrongdoers such as the self styled kings and Mullahs of Yahudi Arabia. Our beloved Rasool taught us that to stay quiet in the face of oppression and tyranny was to side with the the tyrant. Yahudi Arabia is the biggest exporter of Fitnah, they have no love for the Ahlulbayt and the true muslims. They have allowed the kaffir US bases on our holy land and have named the country after themselves. What kind of evil arrogance is this? Remember that an army will rise from Khorasan carrying black flags and will arrive in Mecca and Medina to give allegiance to The Al Mahdi, but one of your people, a descendant of the lanatai Abu sufyan will raise an army to fight against the Al Mahdi. Do you know where Khorasan is? Its the land of the true followers
I agree with you on the point of facing oppression but kindly define oppression,
are you allowed to pray!
Are your basic needs fulfilled (eat and drink)!
Are you family and property safe!
Are you free to socialize with friends and family! and finally
Are you wrongfully imprisoned or any member of your family in jail for no reason whatsoever.
If you answer these questions as truthfully as possible then you will come to realise that you are not oppressed. Leave it to Allah to decide their fate and you concentrate on keeping on the true Islam for terrible times are to come make your Imaan strong and work for the Hereafter.
Enough of arguing for now…please tell me Shaks are you Muslim and kindly note that I am not asking you if you are shia or sunni I am only asking are you muslim?
Im muslimm, brother Abu Haamidah
But I cant understand why you think it’s better to bow your head to tyrannical self made kings? Imam Hussain (RA) sacrificed his life including most of his family in ther fight against tyranny. Do you think he should abandon the teachings of the Holy Quran. To accept oppression is to side with oppression. In Saudi people are truly oppressed. The people in Qatif are being persecuted because they dare to challenge the illigitimate King and his murderous regime. They are locked up in jails for exercing their go-given rights to protest peacefully. Instead they are met with batons and bullets. This is the freedom in our Yahudi Arabia. We do more to please the zionists and their allies than we do to for the muslim ummah. Only the sons of Yazid can behave like this. You defend these tyrant because your afraid of losing your head on some trumped up charges that they come up with. If you all stood up to the wahabbi imposed tyranny you can make yiur country a free country for all muslims. Try it
Its not for you to decide their fate for example….Saddam Hussein when in power was considered a dictator and his duplicate was hanged on EID and can be considered as Shaheed if he was a muslim (Allah knows best). And soon after all the factions in the country went to war either instigated by US who knows. But my point is that when he was in power he kept all factions in check. So this means that Saddam did a better job of uniting Iraq than the present day leaders. So if the tyrannical self made kings are brought down who knows what new Devil may come into power who may charge a tax for hajj or even try to stop hajj alltogether. All I am saying is that as long as you can follow Islam…….Pray 5 times, Fast in ramadhan, Pay zakat and go for Hajj then its best for the major interest of the public just to keep quiet and obey Allah and his messenger and obey the leaders. and finally if you see something wrong change it with your hands if you cannot and speak against it and if that is also not possible then feel bad in your heart.But dont be the one to bring a revolution because you words may spark a fire that may lead to innocent people be killed.
But I would like to share one more thing you see I am not In complete disagrement with you. did you know who is the real power behind these kings? They are merely puppets in the hands of the US and UK who are puppets to the Jews and this will not end until the day of judgement.
In short can you mobilize an army to take down these kings then I will join you but remember people not involved in this are at risk.
Salaam Aleykum
Here is a link to the new re-vamped Quranists Welcome Pack
What shiek abdurahma teach is an islamic practice?
The Tree at Hudeybiyah…..
We all know about the treaty of Hudeybiyah and the tree where Rasool Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) sat and its mention in the Quran Surah Al Fath verse no 18 Certainly was Allah pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you, [O Muhammad], under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity upon them and rewarded them with an imminent conquest. This tree became an icon and soon after the death of Rasool Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) people went there to pray underneath. And it was the second caliph Umar (رضي الله عنه ) who ordered to cut down the tree.
Now my question is: Was Umar (رضي الله عنه ) a wahabi?
Dear readers please study history to get the full grasp of the concept of Islam.
As salam u alaikum warahamath ullah hi wa barkathu -I PROUD TO BE AHL E HADEES N U
Would like to know – Kingship is allowed in Islam — Hereditary rulers is yes, yes in Islam — forcing my type of Islam on others is yes yes – Except me all others are Kafirs is fine in Islam – My way or the Highway is okay in Islam – Discrimination solely on the basis of one being born at a particular place in terms or salary, benefits is allowed in Islam for the same position – Priority to locals in each and every thing in the kingdom is according to the way Allah’s Prophet shown to us — An Arab is superior to an Ajami – Spreading hatred and inviting Non Muslims in the kingdom to fight and kill other muslim is what Islam teaches–Having the Kalima on the currency notes which one takes along to the latrines is okay. Having giant size photos / pictures of His Excellency looking down upon the ummah is the way of Shiekh Mohammad Ibn Al Wahab – Charging a fee for the Haj is allowed in Islam ( when you KSA is so filthy rich) ??????
thanks for the knowledge about whabism etc. islam is actually basic religion to be a pure muslim you only need to follow two things THE QURAN AND THE LAST PROPHET and you are muslim ,and of course if you want to follow the great people just make sure they are following the two i mention
Masha-Allah, easy way to lift the fog for people who use the term wehabi, most people don’t know what it really mean, but they simply utter words which they heard it from people around them. In our country(Eritrea) it is creating problem and even sentence of prison, if you are accused as wahabi.
Ok don’t call these people Wahabbi’s. Just call them Salafists. or Ahle Yazeed. The name makes no difference to what’s in the heart.
What did sheyk Muhammad ibn abdul Wahab say about Salafiyah.
Reblogged this on Musings from Miami.
I am from South Africa, and the tableegi (wahabbi) community is a joke. they want to convert the converted, only interested if your beard is the correct size, your moustache is clean shaven ( contrary to Sunaah) etc, no salaams to to blessed Prophet swa, although Angel Jibraeel brought salaams from Allah subhanutuallah to the holy prophet swa. i can go on on their off track rituals, but to the saudi woman who started this blog, 10 points for you, you need to send this to your king and his cahoots of princes and jokers, as he needs to catch a wake up, like you, cos the rest of the muslim world knows, The Americans don’t use toilet paper any more, the current arabs are there to suck their @ss clean. Too all u wahabis, yes you’ll do exist, sitting in circles for 4 days, 40 days , 4 months…. give it up, start propagating and inviting non Muslims to Islam, that’s what the Holy Quraan instructs.
I am A Indian I am Sunni Muslims Whenever I read wahabi books they talk about Allah But they never talk about The Prophet Pbuh They din’t have respect on Prophet Pbuh These wahabis are Najdis and they are enemies of Prophet Pbuh right from beginning Now these coward Arab rulers join hands with Americans who are enemies of Islam. Arab lady very first think of your Kingdom is you will allowing Non Muslims to kill Muslims please stop this then speak about muslims You Arab rulers are responsible for today’s Islam destruction

great piece of work dear sister. May it help many in understanding the true meaning of the term “wahabi”. May Allah guide us all to the right path. God bless you sister.
Sister you have given people the chance to speak their true mind, something that is not allowed in Yahudi Arabia lest you risk losing your head in a public car park after friday prayers. You may be blessed for this opportunity. At the same time I worry for your safety, as you may anger your illigitimate fake sheikhs and they may send the securuty services to execute you. I pray for your safety. Keep the good work up and continue to open up new platforms
Following hanbili is not the way in islam.
Follow Mohammed(sal).
May Allah give us Jannah.

thought that was a very good article sister, keep it up
. Im headed to olaya, Riyadh, in about two weeks. Looking forward to it.
So is this article not true? http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/saudi/analyses/wahhabism.html
mazhoor junaid:
Assalaamalikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkaatuhu,
Alhamdulillah and Salaat o Salaam to Rasoolullah Sallallahualaihiwasallam.
No, Iam not writing anything against anybody, I just want to inform who Sufis are. They are not a sect
They are not a sect or Firqa of Islam. They are practising muslims. What you see near Graves or as you call them as Grave Worshippers are not Sufi. They respect AuliyaAllah. Let us see a teaching of a Sufi, who says: Never feel you are better than other, Always Respect the fellow Human Beings. If you meet a person younger to you respect him thinking that the years of difference in our age, this young guy has not done Gunaahs as I have done and if you see an older person think that he has done more pious acts than me.
All the while reading the posts i have seen rediculing each other and trying to prove we are better, we are 1 sect which is going to Jannah and all others are Hell driven. I think Allah knows Best who belongs to the Najiya Sect. I pray that whole Ummat e Muslima must be in a position to meet our Beloved Prophet SallallahualaihiwaSallam on Roz e Mahshar in a state that we are not ashamed of our deeds.
All other things live it to Allah subhahawahuta’la and Rasool e Kareem Sallallahualaihiwasallam.
But, our Prophet peace be upon Him has clearly foretold as mentioned in various Ahadees about the Fitna that will rise from the East and He never prayed for Najd. He also mentioned about the attributes of this Fitna Followers. May Allah Subhanahu SAVE us from this Evil Fitna, and Guide us to the Right Path-The Siraat e Mustaqueem. The path that was tread by Ambiya wa Rusul, Siddiqueen, Shohadah and Saliheen. and they were the Guided One and upon whom Bounties of Blessings From Allah were Showered. Ameen
Also, I read a Hadees in which Rasoolullah SallallahualaihiwaSallam told- Oh my ummah I am leaving behing The Quran and My Sunnah, and from other Narration The Sunnah and My Itrat-my Ahl e Bayt, Cling to them and you will not go astray. When the Guidelines are given let us follow them and InshaAllah, we will be Guided.
Forgive me late on this website. I see that the enthusiasm of the participants provides responses to hundreds. I thought it futile to spend time to read it without leaving little response. Hopefully you are not bothered suppose contrary to the minds of all participants. Opinion seems to me that will never be completed if the issue is Wahabi each of our underlying response to the writings of others or history. Because history has as many versions as well kind of hadith. Indeed, I want to take participants to the nature of reality.
Kenyatraan now that:
1. In the Middle East people’s revolution now taking place. Where people in various countries in the region such as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and even Saudi Arabia itself has realized that they have been wronged in such a long period by their rulers.
2. In fact all the countries mentioned above received strong support from U.S. authorities, Europe and Israel. The result has been entered into the second year of the revolution has not been completed due to Western powers and Israel want to hijack the popular revolution.
3. Among the folk community is evolving, Bahrain and Yemen are the most affected. This is due to the Lord of Saudi Arabia directly send armed forces (read military trucks) to help the Bahraini authorities to keep it lasting, by shooting or killing people empty-handed.
4. Community urged Egyptians ousted the elected president of his post-Hosni Mubarak to decide the relationship with the Saudi Arabia and Zionist Israel. That’s according to the revolutionaries of Egypt, Saudi Arabia is not that different from Zionist, which both countries are working together in menzalimi people are evolving.
5. The fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran are majority Shiite Muslim population, Lebanon and Syria are supporting the people’s revolution throughout the Middle East. Then Sunni and Shia in Lebanon RII and live in harmony without hostile kinds elsewhere where Wahabi Muslims always menzalimi other minorities due to their different streams and often accused the Muslim minority was as infidels and heretics.
6. There is still a lot to us but we point out both ends 5 first.
Now comes the question us. Why Wahhabi religious authorities that people menzalimi Bahrain and its people are being evolved, andaikatan Wahabi heresy though it often accuse others astray? Why the Wahabi Saudi Arabia working with the Zionists and the West are hostile to the revolution? Why is reality not a Wahhabi Saudi Arabia to support the popular revolution in the Middle East, but Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria?. Why Wahabi menzalimi People across the Middle East and his own people? (Philosophical and ideological approach)
I really have just one concern – especially since I was born and raised in Jeddah, and I come from a country which has over 17 sects (Lebanon) – why do we use the same language which has been shoved down our throats by western propaganda? why do “we” (and by that i mean arabs, and here muslims in particular) have mention we’re sunni or shias or whichever. Islam is based on the Shahada, and if you’ve said – then spare others the details of what ur sect is. It only separates us, and at the end, we are being judged for our actions – not by what we will out on governmental papers. It really upsets me when I hear the discrimination in western media – Muslim sunni extremist; shiaa-backed terrorists – and it hurts even more to find that same discrimination among-st ourselves.
Otherwise, I applaud ur attempt at showing the different more civilized view of Saudi, and Muslim women in general.
Excerpt from this article:
“Other historic sites lost include the Prophet’s birthplace – now a library – and the house of his first wife, Khadijah, which was replaced with a public toilet block” !
Whether Wahhabi or Hanbali, Sunni or Shiite same nonsense, read the article about Saudi Arabia and you would realise whatever it is the whole Islamic nations need a soul searching and accept the facts that we are living the 21 century need to adapt and adjust their antiquated laws! Men and women are considered equal in other part of the world except in muslim communities with the Mullas, Sheikhs, Mutawa’ and their fatwas. Time for them to pack and leave women alone and get their own disgusting breed cleansed just like the Christian Church is plagued with corruption, misogyny and child abuse!

Lina i understand and share your frustration, i just don’t understand how it “replies” to my post – my comment was abt trying to unite muslims and ppl in general on the morals and basics on Islam instead of pinpointing sects and minute differences. If you’d like to debate Saudi Arabia in particular, then this is the not place for u – tho i would welcome a discussion any time.
Have a nice day.
Pingback: A word about wahabism… sorry… hanabillah-ism! | Al-Must'arib (a vocational Mossarab's notes)
I have been reading about wahabis for some time to my knowledge current Saudi government which is run by wahabis is he’ll bent on destroying the old history of Islam .what happened when wahabis entered mekkha killing thousands Sunni Muslims .you go back in history it tells u every thing .and it’s not much different now .places of important sahabis being destroyed where as wahabis kings grave being protected .sorry to say this but I don,t have any sympathy for wahabis
To the author of this article, I think it is more appropriate to call those who adhere to the teaching of the sheikh as Wahhabies rather than Hanbali. Since, throughout the Islamic civilisation and its history no historical monument, shrine, church was destroyed until your lovely Wahhabi sect appeared on the face of the earth and with your da’wa destroyed the Buddhist temple in Afghanistan, Abolished the house of Khadijah, the first wife of the prophet whom without her, he status, her money, her power he would have not made it, and instead you dared to build a Public Toile in its place.
I might add while you are at it why not abolish the Ka’ba in Mecca isn’t it also an idol and was used in the past as a place for idol worshipping! You stated that this sheikh came at a time to cleanse the community from paganism and idol worshipping! Or what about the black stone (al hajar al aswad) that is in fact meteorite that fell from the sky supposedly dated back to Abraham this is paganism.
But the truth is you are only trying to abolish history or should I say her story! and any sights or trace that relates to the history of women in Arabia and their influence and their side of the story of Islam.
Shame on you and whomever done this in your county.

Obviously you are so self absorbed that you are not willing to look into your own community to confront the wrong doings and do some soul searching. One must start within themselves first instead of blaming the West for it. As the saying goes it takes two to tango! I don’t need to tell you that I lived around the world and as a matter of fact I come as well as my ancestors from the heart of the Arabian peninsula. Perhaps you ought to fix your problems in Lebanon first if you are so righteous! You missed the point and ignorance is a bliss.

Wahhabism/Salafism is an evil, barbaric and fanatical ideology of hate. It is like a cancer slowly destroying islam from the inside thanks to saudi funding from oil revenues and the ignorant governments who allow it to fester and thrive.
We saw the outcome of Wahhabism/Salafism all too clearly in Mali where they ruled with terror, cutting hands and feet, stoning women and other savage acts in the name of “Islam”. Bashar assad maybe a evil dictator, but he is much more preferable to the wahabi/salafi savages who will take his place.
