Al-Wahab

Re: Al-Wahab

I understand you have a issue with me correcting you, but as your brother in Islam I feel obligated to correct you time and again; although I may also be wrong, so I feel no shame in being corrected.

What compels me to address you is posts like this. You said it was cult of Abdul Wahhab that fought Ottoman Empire, but I’m not sure if you know it was Sharif of Hijaz who was bribed by the British to conspire against Ottoman Empire. It would do your claim much justice if you read about biography of Sharif of Hijaz and his lineage which goes back to our beloved Prophet Muhammad(s.a.w).. Sometimes ignorance can get the best of us, I seek refuge with Allah from making claims without knowledge.

I don’t mean to target you in specific, but so long as I see something that doesn’t make sense to me due to my lack of knowledge, I will continue to highlight and question it regardless of who posts it. Please don’t be offended. We’re all seekers of the knowledge, and none the wiser than another.

Here’s a little excerpt albeit from wikipedia, but I’m sure other more authentic sources would provide a greater detail of study

That’s not to say the Sharif of Hijaz didn’t have his reasons and grievances which led to the revolt, surely there were wrong done by the Ottomans, but the fact remains.
