Authors Introduction

All th praises and thanks are to Allaah, the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exist) and peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Master of the Messengers Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam), his relatives, Companions and followers.

My article, which was published four years ago about the correction of Historical Misconception on the mission of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab, was very effective the mission of Salafiyyah, the reformer, Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab رحمه الله. It is procession of the noble professor from one of the Moroccan Universities who sought for more explanation on the topic (the correction of the Historical Misconception about Wahhabism).

This Brief treatise is an answer to that demand. Most especially, as he pointed out the role played by Moroccan leaders and scholars in protecting the sanctity of this religion of Islam.

In the cause of undertaking this research, I tried to the best of my ability to lay my hands on reliable sources of information.

The first edition of this book accords wider acceptance among readers. The reason is owed to the fact that it contains nothing but the truth as enshrined in the teaching of Prophet Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam).

The first edition of this book gained the merit of good response from the readers. It also answered my main motive of expounding the truth, which I intented to bring to our readers, in order to serve both academic purpose, and at the same time, to account for the truth (of knowledge entrusted upon the scholars). To unite the Muslims on Islamic righteous acts, which already the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) indicated a great landmark within the last 14th centuries.

Prophet Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) died and left his people on the right path (and non by-passes this path save a person who abhors the truth as stated by the prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam).

I hereby introduce the second edition of my book to you dear reader, which is strongly edited making some useful inclusions, in form of additional explanatory notes.

May Allaah make the truth to be our guide; the truth should guide our utterances, join us in true Islamic brotherhood and let paradise be our resting place.

And our closing Du'a is Alhamdulillaahi rabbil Alaamin; All prasies and thanks are to Allaah, the Lord of the Alaamen.
