Someone requested from me some of what the Wahhabies say.
I have had debates with Wahhabies several times and I still do. Here’s a BRIEF answer.
Some of what they say:
(And some of them deny it, some believe in part of it)
1- To them it’s Haram to say (Ya Muhammad)
-And there’s Hadith called the Hadith of the blind man, Prophet Muhammad taught a blind man to say Du^a’ and in it “.. Ya Muhammad..”
2- They say, it’s shirk (Kufur, Blasphemy) to visit the grave of the Prophet in Al Madinah.
-The Prophet said that “whomever visits me, I will intercede for him on the day of Judgment”.
3- They say it’s shirk to make tabarruk and tawassul to the Prophet.
-Tabarruk and tawassul, seeking blessings from Allah by the virtue of the Prophet is permissible. Sahabah taught us to do so in different ways. Not worshiping graves and rocks as they claim.
4- They say whhabies are the only true Muslims, in the book of their leader Muhammad bin ^abdilwahhab, he says "humanity blasphemed..)
-Prophet Muhammad said that there will always be people of Haq on the face of earth and they are the majority.
5- They say that doing Mawlid or Milad-un-Nabiyy is haram.
-Muslims worldwide make Mawlids consisting: Recitation of Qur’an, Islamic Chants, Speech about the biography of the Prophet. I don’t see anything haram in that. The first man who initiated Mawlid, was Al Mudhaffar Hakim Irbil, He was a great leader and scholar thousands of Muslims including scholars came to Mawlid and approved it.
6- They celebrate the birth of their foundation. That’s when their Madhab was made up.
Subhanallah, To them Prophet Muhammad is not worthy.
7- One of Their leader came to destroy the tomb of Prophet Muhammad, and that’s when he got blinded.
-Some of the wahhabies that negate the fact that they are wahhabies:
Ibn Taymiah, was before them.
Bin baz, Died Alhamdulillah.
Al Albaniyy, claims he is a scholar.
Al Qaradawi, trying to be poplular
Abdur-Rahman Dimashqiah, trying to be poplular…
8- They say it’s haram to recite Al Fatiha to the dead Muslims!!!
-Subhanallah, maybe that’s why they said all humanity blasphemed. Al Hamdulillah that Prophet Muhammad taught us to recite Al Fatiha and Yasseen to the dead..
7- Prophet Muhammad said “May Allah bless Sham (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon…) and Yemen”
Sahabah asked, and our Najd ya rassullallah?
Prophet said “May Allah bless Sham (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon…) and Yemen”
Sahabah asked, and our Najd ya rassullallah?
Prophet said “May Allah bless Sham (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon…) and Yemen” three times and said the from Najd, lots of calamities and fitan will occur. Muhammad son of ^abdilwahhab was a major fitnah.
8- They say Allah is in the sky as the jews believe.
- Allah does not need anything, angels are in the skies. Allah exists without a place.
9- Ibn Taymiah says that Helfire and Paradise are not real all sensual feelings.
That’s is brought from nowhere.
10-……………
They say too much to be put in words. As you can see, their beliefs are similar to the Christians and jews, and these Only Islam is accepted by Allah.
Our creed is that Allah is the only one who deserves to be worshiped. Allah existed eternally and there was no place and now Allah exists as he did without a place. That’s what Imam ^aliy said, and others. Allah does not need any of his creations, Allah does not resemble any of his creations As Allah mentioned in Surat As-Shurah Ayah 11 [Absolutely nothing resembles him and he is attributed with hearing and sight].
Prophet Muhammad is a human being from flesh and bones, he is not light nor does he know everything that there is from knowledge (All Ghaib), He knows what Allah revealed to him. He is the best of all Prophets, the seal of all Prophets and messengers. Visiting him at his grave is an honor. Asking Allah by his virtue is a blessing and is permissible.
That’s in brief about these people Al Wahhabiya. They are very few comparing the number of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jama^ah. They have a lot of money, they try to control media and broadcasts, and mostly Mosques!! They send their imams to mosques to through their poison using the name of Islam. They make colorful books and spread them for free so people can embrace their deviant Madhhab.
Basically, they are not accepted by the Muslim scholars, in general by Islam.
We ask Allah to keep us steadfast on the ^Aqeedah of the Sahabah Al Kiram, the creed of the Prophet, We ask Allah by the virtue of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, to facilitate us to visit Al Madinah and to visit the Grave of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu ^alayhi wassallam.
Wassalam.
