This mission has influenced some Europeans, Turkish and Africans and many Muslim thinkers were busy with this mission in Ash-Shams, Morocco and even inside Turkey.
The Ottoman government was very disturbed with this development, so other people with ulterior motives, who misrepresented this mission to the Ottoman government so many bad habits of the Bedouins were attributed to the mission.
The founder of this mission and his followers did not leave any stone unturned regarding the misrepresentation and flagrant falsehood flung at the mission. Some people also demanded for more explanation from the founder about his teachings.
In consequence of which he wrote many letters as pointed out below:
The letter of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab to sheikh Fadhil Al-Miziad, Leader of the Desert of Syria, in which he said, the reason for this letter is that Rashid Bin Urban told us what you said about us. I am very pleased with your stand. It seems, you wanted me to refute the rumours and falsehood against that are being fabricated against our...

mission. I am very pleased with your position, that you cannot accept any saying without thorough investigation, Then the sheikh continued explaining about the true picture of his mission based on the legal cord of Allaah and Prophetical guidance.
The letter of sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab to Abdur-Rahman Al-Suwaidi, a scholar from Iraq, in which sheikh Muhammad stated that:
"We have received your letter, and we are very pleased with it. May Allaah enlist you among the righteous and pious Imams, and those callers to the religion of the leader of the messengers (Muhammad Salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam). I am very happy to inform you that I am a follower not an innovator. My belief and religion with which I worship Allaah is in conformity with the pronciples of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jama'a and are agreed upon by the four leading Imams and their followers till the day of Judgement. But, I ado preach about the sincerity in worshipping Allaah alone; I also preach to the people against worshipping saints, as it is very very common among the masses, when imploring for help or seeking refuge; they also associate Allaah with other partners and their sacrifices, vows, and reliance in prostration upon other beings apart from Allaah."
In other matters that are obligations duly for Allaah alone, as no one can share it among the Prophetical Messengers and ..

the closest Angels. Indeed, it is the same message conveyed (to us) by the messengers of Allaah from the first to the last. Thus, the Ahlus - SUnna-Wal-Jama'a stand firmly on it till today.
A letter of sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab which he explained the milestone of his mission. A portion of this letter reads as follows:
"You and others, are already aware about the loss which came to us, after demolishing some domes on the graves of essence of destroying such buildings erected over graves. To them, it os considered as a bad act. But, we refuted their argument and asked them to call upon Allaah alone sincerely. However, they resisted and the so-called Ulama, with ulterior motives, encouraged such masses to go against us. Therefore, they fabricated rumours and falsehood against us. Thus, they claimed that we are abusing the pious, and myself in particular, I am not among the guided scholars, they spread such rumours from east to west. In fact, what they really said no sensible person can repeat. That is why I convey this information to you. For I am telling the truth, since a person like you is not the type one can convey lies to him. We are the followers of Sunnah and we follow the school of law of sheikh Ahmad Bin Hanbal. Even the lies..

spread against me, that I call for analytical deduction from the original sources, here, I don't follwo any leader according to them if you think demolition of domes, and order that non-shall be worshipped except Allaah is contrary to the reaching of the Salaf, we wish to know.?"
He stated at the end of his letter that I take Allaah and his Angels to bear witness with me, and I would like you to bear witness that I consider myself a follower to the guided scholars and if I am wrong, I would like you to point out my mistake. As I bear witness with Allaah that I will definitely accept; since, being on the right oath is far ahead of deviation.
His letter to a scholar in Medina in which he stated that:
"I am pleased to inform you that I have received your letter. I hope Allaah is pleased with you. And I am happy to learn that you are in good condition.
"We are also in good condition. But If you ask about the bone of contention' between us and others concerning religious principles, Iman, Salat, Fasting, Zakat and Hajj, we share the same position. With regards to prohibitions in the Shari'a, our stand is the same; for whatever is good on our side is also good on the other side.
He wrote many letters which were seen as a threat to the Ottoman government and its leaders all over the Muslim...

World. This Ottoman government collaborated with colonialists, for their hidden agenda on one part, and on the other, to divide the Muslims to enable them cripple the strength of Muslims until they entrenched disunity among them. Their intention was to bring obstacle to pure Islamic call which is aimed at uniting the Muslims through a total obedience to Allaah (azza wajaal). The Ottomans are not aware of this benifit derived from this mission. They joined hands with western powers and Sufi orders aimed at fighting against the teachings of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. It is possible to assume that jews played a big role in this exercise. Because, their history will realize the bad intention of ABdullaah Bin Saba the jew who embraced Islam solely to destroy it from within, as well as, to cause confusion among the weaker Muslims and his organization was named after him (Saba'iya).
This evil machination can also be traced in the orientalists approach to the studies of Islam. They try to tarnish the image of Islam in the present century, to the extent of causing people to shun away from it. They also put some element of doubt in its thought and history, and nobody can deny that the majority of the orientalists are jews.
