The thing which can be seen apparently pertaining to the name Wahhabiyya, after the Salafiyyah call are the opponents who gave this nickname to this mission which has sprung from the Arabian Peninsula, in order to protect the religion of Islam, and to eradicate the innovations associated with the religion of Islam, the new things which ere introduced into monotheism associating other partners with Allaah.

It is contrary to what we learnt from a divine Hadith, in which Allaah the almighty says:
I have no need of partners, whoever does any deed in which he associates partners with Me, I reject him and his Shrik (act of associating partners with Allaah)."
(Hadith Qudsi reported by Muslim)
It is already recognized, Wahhabiyya was given by the enemies of truth in order to make people run away from it. The first people to use the term are dervishes of the Sufi order who do not follow the real Islam as taught by the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). Most of them do not pay attention except to materialism. They forget that Islamic teachings of legal system are higher than anything and act of sincerity should be the leading factor in Allaah's worship.
The weapon used to achieve certain mischievous goals was to cause people to deviate from the right and to create the illusion for those in power to put faith in the new movement would only cause what they have built to crumble before their very eyes. If quality preaching, which expounds everything is allowed to reach the grassroots, awareness would reach such levels that they would not be able to spring among the Muslims.
Many people have already written a lot about this topic and we pray to Allaah to make everything written on this topic to..

be useful tool in the hands of Muslims and serve as guidance to those who have deviated from the right path. Allaah in his infinite glory is surely able to do so.
But the only thing that attracted me to this topic was what I read in an old book written in the Maliki school of thought, in it stated:
"How should the adherents of Wahhabiyya be treated?"
The actual text of the question is as follows:
"Al-Lakhmy was asked about the Wahhabis who stayed among the Muslims for long time. They came out with a new school of thought and built a Mosque. Can the people in power be allowed to stop them, beat and imprison them until they repent?"
The answer to this question was harsh and sharp at the same time. No detail was given about the sect. No indication was also given to the origin of this sect; was its founder Abdullaah Bin Wahab Al-Rasibi Al-Khariji who died in the year 38 AH. Who fought 'Ali Bin Abi Talib رضي الله عنه in the battle of Naharawan because he rebelled against him after the arbitration, or was it a sect related to anything else?. Also what era or location was the sect operational?
No details were given about the sect. A mission brother from Morocco understood as aplty as anybody could have understood that the sect referred to the mission of..

Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. The minds of the people at that time had been associated with that mission. This Moroccan is an academician; and in an attempt to give him a correct answer; this has been produced.
Those misunderstood the mission o of Abdul-Wahhab could be excused because there are so many attacks against him and a defense party consist of very few people. The name Wahhabiyya is rampant in Morocco from the earliest times. People are aware tha the Wahhabiyya founded by Rustum the Kharaijite the Ibadite was chaotic and people avoided it, like plaque. Its followers are considered infidels because the teachings of this sect do not conform to the teachings of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'a (those who follow the true teachings of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم). Not only Al-Lakhmy many other scholars have given the same answer with regard to Wahhabiyyah.
It is from here that I wanted to make a thorough investigation about the real intention of the questioner. And the real motive of the one who answered it. Then I tried to do away with all forms of confusion about the matter, which many people are not aware of. This is to fulfill the academic obligation and trust.
This misconception made many people to misconstrue the genuine preaching and mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab which is contrary to the former.
