in it is obligatory.  Is there any point of difference in that? They answered: NO!

And we say the same. Then, the Judge, Al-Zari, said to him  " we were also informed that you don't believe in the life after death regarding the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam), and the lives of his brothers the other Prophets in their graves (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon them all).

Upon hearing the name of the Prophet being mentioned, he trembled and raised his voice saying prayer on the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wassalaam). Then, he said: " We seek refuge in Allaah. Verily, we say that the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) is alive in his grave, and so are the other Prophets, a life which is above the life of the martyrs.

At the end of this narration , Al Nasry stated that I said the Sultan Al-Maula Suelieman noriced something like that. Hence, he wrote his famous letter to the Imam, in which he described the type of monastically life of the Sufis and warned against it; he also warned against deviating from the Prophetic tradition as well as, over exaggeration of innovation. He further described the manner of conducting visits to the graveyard of the saints. And he warned the public who were fond of praying and visiting  the graves.

As Sa'adi also stated that: Al-Maula Suleiman conducted a sermon that is solely aimed at redirecting people towarTawhid and distancing from the innovation. He then...

 dispatched copies of the sermon to all Juma'at Mosques, and ordered the closure of all Sufi Religious Center.

After stating the allegations laid against the teaching of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab and having discussed it at length, An-Nasry states, then the general said:

"This is what those people who journey along with Maula IBrahim narrated to us. And it is unique information among those had the journey."

Later, I said: these are some parts of the facts accompanied with dialogue and their sources as I promised to present to you within literary pieces (of works) in your possession. Keep in mind that Moroccan area is the origin of the negative Wahhabiyya that goes against Islam. It is also noticed here that you have clearly understood the mission of the teaching of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab that the Saudi Royal Family is working hard to propagate.

Moreover, you can refer back to the actual treatise and replies written by Sheikh Muhammad. compiled and published by the Islamic University of Imam Muhammad Bin Sa'ud. The author all falsehood and rumors attributed to his mission, as he expounded in details. 'This is a great blasphemy against us.'

Sheikh Muhammad refuted all allegations against him in his lifetime, and his disciples too did the same. Therefore,

page-39-

 how could a sensible person agree with such allegations against him?

'Kitab Al-Tawhid' a book of Islamic monotheism, written by Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab and its explanation is found in 'Fathul Majeed' and Taysir Al-Aziza Al-Hameed you can read these books carefully; If you notice anything that does not conform to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wasallaam), you therefore, have the right of rejection. You can also read his other trestise. 'Fundamentals of Islam' -Unveiling the misconception of the four pillars"  the pre-requisite manner of prayers and many others.

With regard to Dr. Abbas Al-Jarari who hailed from Morocco, I don't know whether you were able to go through his lecture held at Riyadh University, presently King Sa'ud University, in which he stated that: " The trend of Salafiyah emerged again in Morocco at the beginning of the 14th century of Hijira when Al-Sultan Al-Hassan addressed a letter to the people of Maghrib in the year 1300 AH. An-Nasry also mentioned a similar event that took place in the year 1185 AH., When Imam Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullaah AL-Husaien to the governnor of Makkah at that time in order to go into dialogue with the scholars, Yahaya Bin Salih Al-Hanafi, Abdul-Wahhab Bin Hassan Al-Turki, the Mufti of the Sultan and Abdul Aziz Bin Hilal

page-40-

were the great scholars of Makkah who conversed with him. All of whom agreed upon three basic matters; they finally, resolved that they are convinced beyond reasonable doubt about the genuine nature of this mission.

I therefore said: the scholars in Makkah at that time shared the same kind of misconception with the other scholars of Maghrib and other places depending upon the rumors and falsehood, besides the fabricated information spread to them. 

When Imam Sa'ud Bin Abdul Aziz came to Makkah for the second time, conference, debate and dialogue, were organized between the scholars of Makkah and that of Najd Sheikh  Abdul Aziz Al Husein, Shiekh Hammad Bin Naser Bin M'amar, who was appointed by Imam Sa'ud as the chief Judge and Mufti of Makkah. These two were among the prominent scholars who came from Najd at the end od the conference, debate and dialogue. The Ulama in Makkah were highly convinced and see eye to eye with the teaching of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. In the end a communique was issued, which contained rejection of the falsehood and rumors against this mission. This communique was signed by both Makkah and Najdi scholars respectively, and it was published several times. In the year 1343 AH, King Abdul Aziz came to Makkah and a similar dialogue was held once again. In which all the participants..

page-41-

were satisfied with the mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab.
                                                                             -
To add more your knowledge, the domes erected over the graves in Makkah were all demolished during the time of Sharif Auwn Al Rafeek with the exception of the grave of Khadijah (Radhi Allaahu anha). This demolition of domes over the graves was carried out by the consent of Sheikh Ahamd Bin 'Isa with the support of some Sharif of Makkah and some scholars.

Then I said: My brothers! Based on what we discussed so far, the  relaible sources now in our hands on this matters, the organization referred to all its error and now associated with mission of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab is a mere historical error. In short, the Wahhabiyya, which your scholars gave a religious verdict against, has no connections whatsoever with the mission of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, since they are two distinct movements which are pole apart.

Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab and his diciples rejected Al-Wahhabiyya Al Rustumiya as your Ulama in Maghrib Abdhorred it before his Advent. His mission is purely based upon the Noble Qur'an and the sunnah of the prophet Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam). It has come to our knowledge that the scholars of his mission and the rulers of Sa'udi who supported it, purposely for reformation and revivalism, have...

been cleared by the scholars of Magrib after a long discussion during the pilgrimage in the year 1226 AH. And in spite of all the falsehood and rumours against this mission, four rulers of Maghrib Supported the mission of Sheikh Muhammad which are Follows:

1- Al-Muwala Muhammad Bin Abdullaah Al-Alawiy Sulaiman Bin Al-Alwiy who was a contemporary of Abdul Aziz Bin Muhammad. The letter written by King Abdul Aziz reached him.

2-  Al-Muwali Al-Sultan Sulaiman Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullaah-Al-Lawiy who delegated some eminent scholars from Magrhib under the leadership of his son, Al Maula Ibrahim who held  discussion with the Sultan Imam Bin Sa'ud Bin Abdul Aziz; while, at the same time, the schoalrs of Morocco were debateing with Sa'udi scholars.

3- Al-Muwala Al-Sultan Ibrahim Bin Sulaiman Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullaah Al-Awiy was aapointed as the King after the death of his father.

4-  Al-Muwala Al-Sultan: Al-Hassan Al-Auwal who reigned in the year 1300 AH. During his reign, between the 2nd and 3rd era of the Saudi government, that is the year 1319 AH.

Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali a great Maghribi scholar, who was also a descanedant of Hassan, a Moroccan ruling family was a staunched follower  of Tijjaniya order..
