Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab
Is not "Wahhaabbi"!!!
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessing of Allah be upon the best of the messengers, his family and all of his companions.
And then,
Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said “Islam began as a stranger and will go back to being a stranger as it started, so give glad tidings to the strangers.” (Narrated by Muslim) .However, one of the indicators that really show how Islam became strange is that enemies of Islam are now the ones who are defining it, they are enabled, and whenever they talk, they should be heard. So you find most of the people who are talking about Islam in the West are the Jews and the Christians, moreover, in some of the Non-Muslim countries, Non-Muslim teachers are teaching the Islamic religion in the schools!!, and we find as well that most of the people who are talking about the Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) are from his enemies: they draw up, insult, accuse, fabricate lies," And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves. So give them tidings of a painful punishment, Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted." ( al inshaqaq 23-25)
And in the blessed messages (da’wah) which convoyed the wave of anger against the spleeny drawings, the callers to Islam (Du’at) tried to prove for Muslims that this malice is not something new, and this is not the first insult for the Messenger of Allah, (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), it happened before with our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) since he was sent and it was stronger than now. May myself, and my mother and father be ransomed for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him and his family). However, Muslims didn’t learn yet that this is happening for whoever represents the Islamic religion.
As long as they inherited from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) the best message, they accordingly will inherit the hardships for the sake of this message.
The great caliphate Othman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) was died as a martyr because of the misunderstanding. And here is the father of the two grandsons Ali bin abi- Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) burned the people who deified him, which led them to a misunderstanding as well, as they said "we made sure now that you are Allah, as there is no one use the fire as a punishment except the one who created it"
Then days passed, and the temptation (fitnah) became aggravated and the strangeness of Islam increased….
And then lies have been spread about Al Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him), the matter which led him to ask Allah to end his life in a good way; however, Allah completed His grace upon him.
And later on, lies as well caused enmity between Ibin Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) and the governors, and he has been hurt for the Sake of Allah.
"Similarly, no Messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed! [53] Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!"
So the question now is….
Doesn’t Islam have the right to talk about itself?!!…..
Doesn’t the truth have the right to say the truth?!!….
We’ve said several times that: "People have heard about us, but they’ve never heard from us"!!…
However, despite all of this, we’re saying that: Islam is like the rubber ball which has an opposite reaction, as much as you hit it strongly, it moves and react stronger, same thing with Islam, as much as its enemies trying to do their best to destroy it, the victory of Islam will be stronger and fulfilled!!!…
Allah is saying {think it not to be an evil to you; on the contrary it is good for you}, { and so will they continue to spend; but in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; at length they will be overcome: and the Unbelievers will be gathered together to Hell.}, { And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs}, { If any think that Allah will not help him (His Messenger) in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself) off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages (him)!}
"Al Nour 11, Al Anfal 36, Yusuf 21, Al Haj 15"
Attacking Islam makes people more anxious to know about it, and this is a part of the laws of granting victory for this religion.
Do you know who have gathered people for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) when he came back on the night of the Night Journey (Israa’ and Mi’raaj)?!!!
Guess who?!!……
Who was the one who had spread this miracle between people?!…..
It was the Islam’s worst enemy Abo Jahl!!!
Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said “On the night on which I was taken on the night journey (Israa’ and Mi’raaj ), when I came back to Mecca, I was scared and realized that people will not believe me”; pay attention here: The Messenger of Allah, thought that people will not believe him…then ponder how the victory will come.
While the Messenger of Allah was sitting alone, feeling sad, the enemy of Allah, Abo Jahl passed by him and asked in an insultant way: "What happened?"
The Messenger of Allah said: "I was taken on a night journey"
He asked him: "To where?"
The Messenger replied: "To Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis)"
Abo Jahl said: " And then you woke up among us?!!"
(Here Abo Jahl felt that he found what he was looking for, an obvious lie, so he can discourage people from accepting the calling of the prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him).
However, the prophet answered: “yes”
(Then Abo Jahl pretended that he believed the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), in order not to frighten him, so he may change what he have said or deny it in front of the others)
Then he asked him in a foxy way (may Allah curse him): “would you tell your people what you have told me?”
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) replied: “yes”
Abo-Jahl started off calling people, until they have been gathered around him and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him).
At that moment, Abo Jahl (may Allah curse him) said in a foxy way: “tell them what you have told me”!!!
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "I was taken on a night journey".
People asked him: "To where?"
He answered to: "To Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis)"
They said: " And then you woke up among us?!!"
He said: "yes"
Some of the people were shocked, and others didn’t believe.
Look how Allah managed the matter,
They asked him "can you describe it?"; (some of them were traveled to Jerusalem, and have seen the masjid before).
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said “I started describing the masjid, and while I was describing, I got confused about some specifications, at that moment I saw the masjid coming, and it has been put near to Dar Okal- so I resumed describing while I was looking to it”
then he said (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) “Although of these descriptions, I did not memorize it”; which means that the prophet didn’t see all of this specifications during the journey, but Allah showed it to him while he was describing the masjid in Mecca.
Did you remember the words of the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him): "I was scared and realized that people will not believe me"?
Listen for what the people have said, they said: "he was correct about the description" (Narrated by Ahmed, classed as authentic by Al-Albaani)
And that is how the plotting of the polytheist against the religion became a victory for it, and there are much more examples for this situations, such as
Kuraysh agreement, at the beginning of the call to Islam (da’waa), as they agreed to get a man for every entrance of Mecca’s entrances to stand at the entrance and warn the pilgrims and the merchants from listening to the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) which aroused the interest of the people to know more about him, and it became the first target for whoever enter Mecca, then once he heard from the Prophet, the faith steal his heart, and Islam snatch his mind….
Its really true…..
Once they heard from us “Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind]." (Qaaf 37)
If the listener treats fairly for a second, "He who fears Allah will be reminded." (Al’ Ala 10)
Did You Hear about Wahhaabbism?
This is an expression which does not exist in any of the great scholars’s books, and to know about this expression, you have to know the answer of the following three questions:
1) Who created this expression?
2) Who do they mean by it?
3) Why did they spread it?
Search for the word, then ponder in whose books will you find it? and who is saying it?
It trip off the tongues of the (Sufism) who are asking help from the others not from Allah, it has been mentioned in the books of the people whose their hands will testify against them (if they did not repent) that they slaughtered animals on which has been invoked a name other than the name of Allah, and they wiped the door-steps (seeking for blessing), and they paid a lot of money to the vows boxes….
They are the ignorant people, who committed the major form of polytheism (May Allah keep us away from it, and grant all of us repentance before death).
And you find as well the word (Wahabbism) trip off the tongues of the Shiites (Shiah) the Raafidis, who worships a group of the Prophet’s family and curse the other group (may Allah be pleased with all of the Prophet’s family)…. As they seeks Allah’s help through Al-Hussain’s and Fatima’s virtue (may Allah be pleased with them), and curse A’aesha and Hafssa (may Allah be pleased with them).
The word is common also in the suspicions of the Ash’aris
and the Maatreedi, the people who deny the Divine attributes and went astray because of their misguided belief regarding the matter of Allah’s attributes, they didn’t follow the companions of the Prophet and the early generations of Islam (Taabi’een) in their understanding of Quran and Sunnah.
So, here we knew who created the expression "Wahhaabism", and remained to know who is meant by it?
They mean by this word: the people who believe in the oneness of Allah in object and aim!!!
If you try to forbid one of those ignorant people (who didn’t learn the real monotheism) from seeking to approach Allah by virtue of some created being, or from praying in a masjid which included a grave, or to forbid him to swear by anything other than Allah, you’ll find him surprised by what you’re saying, and whether Allah will open his breast or he will need more guidance and clarification, but in case his ignorance was complex and not a simple ignorance, he will argue with you, using an insubstantial suspicions, and unauthentic evidences, even his mentioning to the authentic evidences, based on misunderstanding of this evidences, and his suspicions will include accusing you of being a Wahhaabbi, he will tell you: "you are Wahhaabbi"…..or he will talk to you in the plural form "you are wahhaabbi people"!!!!!….etc.
Glory be to Allah!!! To whom do they attribute the believer who forbids the major polytheism?
What is meant by the word "Wahhaabbi"?
The answer is that they associate it with the Imam that renewed the Islamic call "Mohamed Ibn Abd Al Wahab" (may Allah have mercy on him). So they meant by the word "Wahhaabbi" that you are one of his followers.
Here we’re wondering, what we’re suppose to say?!!
Shall we say: No…we’re not Wahhaabbi?!….or we say: yes…we’re Wahhaabi?!!
The answer is:
If they meant the monotheism "Tawheed", accordingly every Muslim will be Wahhaabbi.
If they attribute the monotheists who worship only Allah with no partners to Imam Mohammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhaab, who obeyed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and took the idols out of the masjid in order to obey the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) as he said "Those who came before you used to take the graves of their Prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as places of worship; I forbid you to do that" (Narrated by Muslim). He established a monotheist nation. So who dislike to be attributed to this person?
If the one who shows respect towards Allah’s attributes, didn’t deny any of the words of Allah (Glory be to Him), didn’t distorting the laws of Allah, whether distorting the verses or the meanings, so he believes that Allah is above His Throne, because He said"
