As he attempted to forge disparity between Omanis and Arabian peninsula. Though, they are united in Islamic brotherhood; thereby, discharging their duties according to the teachings of the Noble Qur'an and Sahih Ahadith.

2. He pointed out that religion is staunched enemy of modernity and development. He further described the Bedouins of Najd as people who possessed the true spirit of Islamic worship; since they discharge all obligations and do not neglect their prayers even when travelling long distances (when they are on a journey) or whatever hardship there might be. Contradiction can also be noticed in his comparison between Bedouin Arabs and Turks. In which the Turks had a spirit culture as they do not allow religion to hinder them from resting or having their fun time.

3. Attempting the verification of the people of Al-Madinah. Hence, he described them as beggars, avaricious, and they are supposed to be instead they are portrayed as beggars who live by alms from the pilgrims.

This hatred against Islam was channeled directly through the crusaders.

But, what was more astonishing was what was Saddler used to say regarding Ibrahim Pasha.

A-That he dined with him according to the English style. He spoke with him about his journey and that he gave him British presents and letters before entering Al-Madinah to the Messenger (salallaahu alaihi wasalam). He added that Ibrahim Pasha served him with tea, cigarettes, snuff and pipes. He also said that coffee was presented in a tray invalid with diamonds.

B.Also, Saddler said about Ibrahim Pasha that he was an adopted son of Muhammad Ali. During his childhood, he was taken as a hostage in Istanbul. It was said that Ibrahim Pasha was a borne a few months after his father had got married to his mother. He used to be a drunkard and rude with his employees.

C. In another place he said: "He only supervised the service of some Mamelukes. When Mohammad Ali Pasha entered the sacred land of Muhammad", his excellency determined to give up all kinds of amusement and entertainment, in addition to do drinking alcoholic drinks. Consequently, he wasted all that had been stored or conserved of it. This caused him to be brought from Cairo. All these incidents took place before his outburst towards Al-Madinah.

to trace the actual of this mission, hence the following examples:


Muhammad Bin Abdullaah Al-Alawiy the Sultan of Maghreb was greatly influenced by this mission. After thorough studies and investigations he waged a war against innovations in his country. He fought against the division of Salafi orders/sects; and called for Analytical deductions and Sunnah adherence, these beside his desires in particular, and dynasty  in general.

A French historian Charley Julian described  this Sultan, in his book 'The History of North Africa', he stated that: Muhammad was a pious and man of Godliness, he was aware of the movement of Wahhabiyya in the Arabian peninsula through the pilgrims and he was aware that the movement had gained support from the Saudi Royal Family. He was highly impressed with explanations and teachings of this movement. He was usually quoted to have said:

"I am Maliki by the school of thought and Wahhabi belief."

His religious enthusiasm lead him to destroy books that do not put emphasis on religion and those books are supporting the Ash'ary thought. He ordered also the destruction of domes erected over the graves of the saints.

In the year 1226 AH Al-Maula Ibrahim Bin Sultan Sulaiman in the company of Muslim scholars performed pilgrimage to the holy Land. This Journey was explained in a book named 'Al-Istiqsa li Akhbari Diwali Al-Maghrib Al-Aqsa' tracing the history  of the Maghrib. The Author sataed that, this caravan did not see anything from bin Sa'ud which goes against the Islamic legal system. What they really witnessed is the obedience of Ibn Sau'd and his followers to Allaah and protecting the Islamic legal system i.e. prayer, purity, fasting and forbidding the people from wrongdoing. They also worked protect the honor of the two holy Mosques.

A letter written by Imam Sa'ud Bin Abdul Aziz sent to the people of Tunisia which discussed about the actual teaching of Monotheism and Fundamentals of Islam was a lengthy letter printed in three pages as indicated in the German Newspaper written by one orientalist about the activities of Wahhabiyya in Maghrib. The contents of the letter was written in Arabic while the explanation was written in German.

He was a contemporary of Imam Abdul Aziz performed his first pilrimage to Makkah in the 1217 AH this ruler of Fez set for a fact finding mission as to what type of person is Bin Sa'ud and his mission. He therefore sent his son Al-Maula..

Ibrahim in the group of eminent scholars and very important personalities, handed him a letter to Bin Sa'ud. On Arrival in Hijaz (the Arabian Peninsula) they performed their pilgrimage and visited the Mosque of the Prophet (salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam) in Al-Madinah. All these took place with no difficulty. Ahmad Al-Nasry the author of the book firther stated in page 119-123, a number of those who performed with Maula Ibrahim in the year, reported that they didn't see anything wrong with the Imam Bin Sa'ud that is contrary to the apparent teachings of Islam. But what they really observed about him and his followers was a charisma of religious spirit, preventing people from wrong doing and protecting the two holy Mosques from any indecent act. And having met Al-Maula Ibrahim, the Imam Sa'ud showered his respect upon him as is customarily showered upon every descendant of Prophet (salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam). Abu Ishaq Ibrahim Azzara'iy the great jurist is the speaker for Al-Maula Ibrahim. Imam Ibn Sa'ud told them other things:
