Question

Please provide reasoning with your answers.

And, please no offensive answers, or any kind of abusive jokes. Thanks in advance!

Wahhabism is a branch of Islam practiced by those who follow the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, after whom the movement is named. Ibn Abdul Wahhab, who reintroduced Shariah (Islamic) law to the Arabian peninsula.

This theology is the dominant form found in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, as well as some pockets of Somalia, Algeria, The United Kingdom, Palestine and Mauritania.

Answer 1

I am not agaisnt Wahhabism,as their belives are mostly the same...though they take islam kind of more stirct than normal..but idon't agree with those belonging to Suadi Arabia..they are mostly influenced by the governament and give so much power to the king and mostly work for the favour of the king...King is the last word for them and the king is somehow influenced by west......so actualy their religion is under the influence of politics..that i don't agree with !

Answer 2

Generally, yes.

I have lived in Saudi Arabia for over 18 years and I've come to the conclusion that Wahhabism is not actually a sect or anything. It's just a different way of following Islam.

Though I may not always agree with the Saudi laws and rules, I do prefer the way Saudis practice Islam. It's much more detailed and thorough and Islamic classes at my school were always fun. No offense to any Pakistanis (actually I'm one myself), but many of them tend to follow a demented and illogical version of Islam.

Answer 3

Wahhabism is a movement which was established in the biggining of the 20 century. this movement have done good thing to the arabian gulf, unfortunately after the invasion of the mafia "saudian family" to the arabian gulf in what is called "Saudia Arabia", they aborted its good aims and use it to govern this area. Most people who says that they are wahhabi, thier acts is against the real wahhabism.
This movement aims has meaning at its time, but at this time this movement cant do anything for muslims.
So im not with it right now. it cant help muslims, in the past it has accomplished good job.

Answer 4

NO.

As I understand it, they teach that most Muslims are munafiq, that any Muslim who does not agree with their ideology is a hypocrite. They follow a Saudi king, not the Prophet (as). They are also at the root of Osama Bin Laden's ideology, though they do not call him one of their own. They also have destroyed countless historical religious sites and are in the process of erecting a high rise shopping mall within view of the Kaaba. Perhaps I've gotten false information, but from what I've read, they teach too much hatred to call themselves the only true followers of Islam.

Answer 5

What you defined of the dervishes is actual annoying. there is not any longer something good approximately making oneself a ineffective lunatic. @ "stick to the Quraan and the actual hadiths" ...nicely, it incredibly is Sunnah. Sunni sect Islam. Many actual hadiths prescribe brutality, judgmental elitism and believing in fable as certainty. Sectarianism is a logical consequence. the two have the Quraan between them, they might end including their very own suggestions to area off others and artwork on a hassle-free information.

Answer 6

Well accordidng to several sources, based on the memoirs of a British Spy, it was the creation of the British government to create a schism in Islam.

Just want to add, that like lavendar, I also don't believe in sects within Islam.

Answer 7

The greatest opponent of Shaykh Muhammad was his brother Shaykh Sulayman, the writer of al-Sawa’iq al-ilahiyya, who did not acknowledge for his brother a position of ijtihad and correct understanding of the Qur’an and sunnah.

Answer 8

No, simply because of what's in 6:159
"As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, have no part in them in the least, their affair is with Allah, he will in the end tell them the truth in all that they did"

We are not to be Sunni, Shia, Wahhabi, or any other division, we are one ummah.

Answer 9

I believe in Islam only. I don't agree with following a certain sect. Splitting Islam into sects is a sin.

Answer 10

actually no, i find them very strict and aggressive people, which is far from the peacefulness and tranquility of Islam.
also i don't believe except in Islam and the sunna of prophet Muhammad(pbuh) that should be followed.

peace be upon you brother.
