The opinion of Sunni scholars on Wahhabism (part 3)

Zaini Dihlan Sheikh al-Islam, the Mufti of Masjid al-Haram (the greatest mosque in the world), about Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, in the book of Alderar Al Sunniah Fi Alrad ala Al Wahhabiah says that he considered the Muslims before his age as "infidels" and made Muslims confess their infidelity before converting to Wahhabism.

He explains about it:

إذا أراد أحد أن يتبعهم على دينهم طوعا أو كرها، يأمرونه بالإتيان بالشهادتين أولا ثم يقولون له إشهد على نفسك إنك كنت كافرا و إشهد على والديك إنهما ماتا كافرين و إشهد على فلان و فلان إنه كان كافرا و يسمون له جماعة من أكابر العلماء الماضين، فإن شهدوا بذلك قبلوهم و إلا أمروا بقتلهم و كانوا يصرحون بتكفير الأمة من منذ ستمائة سنة.و اول من صرح بذلک محمد بن عبدالوهاب، فتبعوه في ذلک. و اذا دخل انسان في دينه و کان قد حجّ حجة الاسلام قبل ذلک يقولون له: حجّ ثانياً؛ فانّ حجتک الأولي فعلتها و انت مشرک فلاتسقط عنک الحجّ. ويسمون من اتبعهم من الخارج المهاجرين و من کان من اهل بلدهم يسمونهم الانصار

Anyone who wanted to convert to Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab's religion, was forced to confess that they have been infidels before, also confess that their parents have left the world being infidels and confess that such scholar and that scholar has died infidels. And he named many other great scholars who lived before, if the person confessed that they all were infidels he would then accept his confession otherwise he would kill them. They announced the entire Umma who lived 600 years before, "infidels". The first person introduced such innovation was Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. The others, followed him and if anybody who accepted his religion had already done Haaj, they were ordered to redo their Haaj, as the previous one was done in the time of their infidelity (paganism) and so was not accepted! He called his followers Ansaar (supporters) if they were from his region, and if they were from other regions, called them Muhajirin (immigrants).

Then, the book reports about ignoring religious books by Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab and killing his criticizers:

The opinion of Sunni scholars on Wahhabism (part 2)

 Zaini Dihlan Sheikh al-Islam, the Mufti of Masjid al-Haram (the greatest mosque in the world), considers the existence of Wahhabism as a sedition appeared in the Islamic community, in the book of Kholasat al-Baian fi Baian Omara al-Balad al-Haram, he writes:




ابتداء فتنة الوهابية مع الرد عليهم بما يبطل ما ابتدعوه سنة 1205 وفي هذه السنة كان ابتداء الحرب والقتال بين مولانا الشريف غالب وطائفة الوهابية التابعين لمحمد ابن عبد الوهاب في عقيدته التي كفر بها المسلمين وينبغي قبل ذكر المحاربة والقتال ذكر ابتداء أمرهم وحقيقةحالهم فان فتنتهم من أعظم الفتن التي ظهرت في الاسلام

"The truth about Wahhabism', is that their conspiracy is the biggest sedition which has ever emerged in Islam."

"Tawassul" from the perspective of Quran, Sunnah and Scholars [Part 1]

Tawassul is one of the most important dispute points among Muslims which has caused many bloodsheds. The oppositions of Tawassul are called Wahhabi who are the followers of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. In this series, we are going to prove that the opinion of Wahhabiis on Tawassul is against Quran and Sunnah and show that unlike Wahhabism, Sunni school believes in Tawassul. So, first we introduce the views of Wahhabism on Tawassul and in the future posts, we will analyze and criticize their views.


The opinion of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab on Tawassul and Ithtiqasah (kind of Supplication):

The book of Al-Durar Al-Sunnia fe Al-Jawba Al-Najdia , vol. 1, the book of Al-Aqaed , page 144:

"What we deny and oppose and because of which consider Muslims as infidels, is that if a person calls one of the prophets (e.g. Moses, Jesus pbut) or calls one of the angels (e.g. Gabriel, Michael) or performs a scarification or makes a Nadhr (Vow) or Itikaf besides the grave of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and prays in that place and ask the prophet his/her needs, etc. This is the paganism that Quraish used to do before Islam and this is why the prophet fought Quraish."


Ref: Al-'asemi Al-Najdi Al-Qahtani, Abdul Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Qasim, Al-Durar Al-Sunnia fe Al-Jawba Al-Najdia , vol. 1, the book of Al-Aqaed, page 144
So in the opinion of Wahhabiis, if somebody performs Tawassul or Ithtiqasah to one of the prophets or angels, he/she is an infidel and has to be killed.

The opinion of Sunni scholars on Wahhabism (part 1)

Zaini Dihlan, was the great Sheikh and Mufti of Mecca. In the book of "Fitna al-Wahhabia", he quoted the anticipation of the professors of Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab about his deviation. And he was actually misled just as it had been anticipated. Zaini says:


وكان كثير من مشايخ ابن عبدالوهاب بالمدينة يقولون سيضل هذا أو يضل الله به من أبعده وأشقاه فكان الأمر كذلك


A significant number of the great scholars and professors of Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab used to say, in the city of Medina: He is going to be astray or Allah will mislead him and he will mislead the people who are far from blesses of Allah and recalcitrant and the same thing happened.

Ref: Zaini Dihlan, Fitna al-Wahhabia, page 4
