Mischievous ideologies of communism, Masonism, existentialism, secularism, atheism and others, have confronted the world in general and the Muslims in particular. It is only Islam with purity of its creed that will enable the Muslims and arm them with weapons to confront these mischievous ideologies. Allaah endowed the Muslims with peculiar characteristics of Obedience, love respect and brotherhood lead them to sacrifice their lives in totality for the sake of their religion.
But however. some opponents take advantage of the ignorants from among the Muslims to mislead them; since, it is very difficult for one to uncover their hidden motives. This can be traced to the books that are freely distributed in Europe and Africa that refer back to the distorted facts about the suspicion against many of their teachings and mission. As it is already known Christianity and Judaism have started declining not only in the Muslim countries but even in the West. This can be attributed to the rebellion against them in Europe. These two religions by the time they discovered that Muslims have started going back to the original sources of their religion in faith, worship and their day to day life, used another trick in order to divert their attention from the actual teachings of Islam. Many books against Islamic movement
and some outstanding reformers were published and distributed free of charge.
One of the Islamic callers in Africa told me that a scholar from among their people was trapped by such books to the extent that he went about condemning Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab and his mission; thereby, depicting him with various defamatory images as fabricated in those books written against his person and his mission. The Islamic caller asked the scholar "Have you ever read any book written by Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab?. He replied: "No, but, what was said about him is enough". This caller was clever enough as he handed him a copy of 'Kitab Al-Tauhid" written by Sheikh Al-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab after removing the book cover " I would like you to read this book and pass your comment on it." He asked him. When the appointed time was due the scholar met the Islamic caller praising the book and its author, because the book contains the actual teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet and it is well arranged that every Muslim will
appreciate it and adopts it in effecting corrections on beliefs. The caller once again, handed another copy of the book written by Sheikh Ul-islam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab the founder of the recent Islamic revivalism and reformation in accordance with the practice of the pious predecessors. And assured him that the test rest of the books written by Shiek..

Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab adopt a similar method. The scholar said Allaah alone is the most excellent in whom we trust. Formerly I was accusing the Sheikh with things that were unjustly attributed to him. What we read about him is different from what is written in his books. This is a pure teaching of monotheism as brought by the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) Muhammad bin Abdullaah which he invited us to follow strictly.
Many decades ago, a similar instance took place in India when a debate was held between one named Al-Bakri and one eminent scholar of India in which at the end the scholar accepted the truth.
This is just a general view which every Muslim ought to pray his attention to. For no Muslim should allow anybody to brainwash his mind on things to do with faith and religion; be should try to delve into research so as to avoid some lapses in his religion. Since, failure to do this, will pave way for disunity among the Muslims; the beneficiaries of which are the non-Muslims and its arch-enemy. already they invested their wealth of experience-monetarily, materially and intentionally, so as to reap all benefits to detriment of Muslims.
We therefore pray to Allaah the almighty to unite the hearts of Muslims till the last hour as He united their hearts in the first instance as He revealed to Prophet Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wassalaam)..

وَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ ۚ لَوْ أَنفَقْتَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مَّا أَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
And brought together their hearts. If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise.
[Quran Surah Al Anfal : 63]
وَلَن تَرْضَىٰ عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلَا النَّصَارَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَىٰ ۗ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءَهُم بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ
And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper.
[Quran 2:120]
The last generation of the Muslims can only be guided with things that guided the first Muslim generation/ The first generation as remarked by Imam Malik. The first Muslim generation was only guided by the pure Islamic creed, free from all Innovation and superstitious and our last generation must follow the same path for their guidance.
