Wahhabism

Wahhabism (Arabic: وهابية‎, Wahhābiya(h)) or Wahhabi mission (/wəˈhɑːbi, wɑː-/; Arabic: الدعوة الوهابية‎, ad-Da'wa al-Wahhābiya(h) ) is a religious movement or branch of Sunni Islam. It has been variously described as ""orthodox"", ""ultraconservative"", and ""austere."" Critics say that Wahhabism's rigidity has led it to misinterpret and distort Islam, pointing to extremists such as Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network and the Taliban. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) also draws on Wahhabism for its ideology. Wahhabism's explosive growth began in the 1970s when Saudi charities started funding Wahhabi schools (madrasas) and mosques from Islamabad to Culver City, California. It has been described as ""fundamentalist"", and ""puritanical"" or ""puritan"". It has also been described as an Islamic ""reform movement"" to restore ""pure monotheistic worship"" (tawhid), by scholars and advocates and as an ""extremist pseudo-Sunni movement"" by opponents. Adherents often object to the terms ""Wahhabi"" and ""Wahhabism"" as derogatory, and prefer to be called Salafi or Muwahhid.The name Wahhabism stems from the eighteenth-century preacher and scholar, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792).He started a revivalist movement in the remote, sparsely populated region of Najd, advocating a purging of practices such as the popular ""cult of saints"", and shrine and tomb visitation, widespread among Muslims, but which he considered idolatry, impurities and innovations in Islam.Eventually he formed a pact with a local leader Muhammad bin Saud offering political obedience and promising that protection and propagation of the Wahhabi movement would mean ""power and glory"" and rule of ""lands and men."" The movement centers on the principle of tawhid, or the ""uniqueness"" and ""unity"" of God. The movement also draws from the teachings of medieval theologian Ibn Taymiyyah and early jurist Ahmad ibn Hanbal.The alliance between followers of ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Muhammad bin Saud's successors (the House of Saud) proved to be rather durable. The house of bin Saud continued to maintain its politico-religious alliance with the Wahhabi sect through the waxing and waning of its own political fortunes over the next 150 years, through to its eventual proclamation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, and then afterwards, on into modern times. As of 2015 Mohammed bin Abd Al-Wahhab's teachings are state-sponsored and are the official form of Sunni Islam in 21st-century Saudi Arabia.The majority of the world's Wahhabis are from Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. 46.87% of Qataris and 44.8% of Emiratis are Wahhabis. 5.7% of Bahrainis are Wahhabis and 2.17% of Kuwaitis are Wahhabis.Wahhabis are the ""dominant minority"" in Saudi Arabia. There are 4 million Saudi Wahhabis (concentrated in Najd) representing 22.9% of the population. With the help of funding from petroleum exports (and other factors), the movement underwent ""explosive growth"" beginning in the 1970s and now has worldwide influence. Wahhabism has been accused of being ""a source of global terrorism"", and for causing disunity in the Muslim community by labeling Muslims who disagreed with the Wahhabi definition of monotheism as apostates (takfir), thus paving the way for their bloodshed. It has also been criticized for the destruction of historic mazaars, mausoleums, and other Muslim and non-Muslim buildings and artifacts. The ""boundaries"" of what make up Wahhabism have been called (by Youssef Michel Ibrahim) ""difficult to pinpoint"", but in contemporary usage, the terms Wahhabi and Salafi are often used interchangeably, and the groups they represent are considered to be movements with different roots that have merged since the 1960s. But Wahhabism has also been called ""a particular orientation within Salafism"", or an ultra-conservative, Saudi brand of Salafism.
