The Beliefs of Sheikh-ul-Najd
The Atrocities committed by the Wahhabis
against the Muslim
Ummah!
Sheikh-ul-Najd
"Devil's Horn"
Shaytan Came in the Form of the Najdi Sheikh
Hafiz Ibn Kathir writes:"When the kuffar of Makka
had a meeting concerning the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace), an
old man came claiming:
"I am a Najdi - whatever
you want to know, I will be helpful."
This Najdi Sheikh then gave
his view against the Prophet throughout the meeting"
[Ta'rikh Ibn
Kathir, Volume: 4]
---------------------------------
The Beliefs of Sheikh-ul-Najd
1) All
Muslims for
the last
six hundred years were Kafirs.
2) He wrote his first book "Kitab-ul-Tawheed" in which he labelled all Ayats about Idol Worshippers, Munafeqeens and Mushreqeens on the Ahle Sunnah and stereotyped them as Kafir and Mushriks to get them killed. (This was foretold in a Tradition in Bukhari)
3) Like the Prophets he claimed that anybody who did not believe in him was Kafir and be executed.
4) Anybody who accepted his religion was told to renew his shahadah and Hajj, if he had already done Hajj because he was previously Mushrik and Kafir.
2) He wrote his first book "Kitab-ul-Tawheed" in which he labelled all Ayats about Idol Worshippers, Munafeqeens and Mushreqeens on the Ahle Sunnah and stereotyped them as Kafir and Mushriks to get them killed. (This was foretold in a Tradition in Bukhari)
3) Like the Prophets he claimed that anybody who did not believe in him was Kafir and be executed.
4) Anybody who accepted his religion was told to renew his shahadah and Hajj, if he had already done Hajj because he was previously Mushrik and Kafir.
He was made to confess that his parents, all Muslims and prominent Ulama in the last 600 years were Kafirs. Anyone who refused this declaration was declared as Mushrik and would be slain even though he was a Mutaqi and all his possessions were forfeited. While on the other hand, anyone who accepted his command would be declared as Momin even though he was a Fasiq or Fajir.
5) He used to call the Holy Prophet as Tarish (postman). (Allah forbid)
6) He used to claim that there were so many lies in Sulah Hudaybia.
7) A stick could kill a snake and was better than Prophet who was dead and was of no use to them (Allah forbid). One of his blind followers once remarked in his presence that his walking stick is better than Prophet because his stick can still be used for killing a snake or such reptiles while Prophet is not beneficial any more. He was just a messenger boy who is no more. see [Shaikh Ahmed Ibn Zaini al-Dehlaan Makki Shafei d. 1304 A.H. (1886CE), Khulaasatul Kalaam fi Bayaanil Omara wal belaadel haraam, pp. 229-233]
Deobandi scholar Husain Ahmad Madani (d.1957CE) has also reported that the Saudi Wahhabis have written: "A stick in our hands is more profitable to us than the Holy Prophet at least we can get rid of dogs with it, we can’t even do that with the Holy Prophet." [Ash-Shahabus Saaqib, page - 47] (Allah forbid) Also Husain Ahmad Madani writes about the Wahhabis and their beliefs and stating how he opposes these beliefs. He states: that the Wahhabis have written: "Wahabis classify a pilgrimage to Madina Munawarah (with the intention to visit the Holy Prophet’s sacred shrine as an adultery." [Ash-Shahabus Saaqib, page - 46] (Allah forbid)
--Note: Because
of his beliefs: 4),
5) and 6) above
Ulama gave the Fatwa
of Kufr on Sheikh-ul-
Najd.
8) He disliked and felt troubled if anyone recited Darud Sharif.
9) He
used to severely
punish those
who recited Darud
Sharif on Friday evenings
and from Minarets after Adhan.
He used to say that reciting Darud Sharif from the minarets of mosques is more sinful than the sound of singing with music from the house of a prostitute.
10) He
burnt all
the books of Darud
Sharif and Dalael-ul-Khairrat and
claimed that their reading was Bidah.
11) He
got all books of Fiqah, Tafseer and Traditions burnt and
used to do interpretation of Quran according to his choice and
advised his deputies to do the same.
12) He
claimed that he was Hanbali but
that was a lie,
camouflage and disguise to cheat people. His brother Sheikh
Suleman was
a Hanbali
scholar who
wrote a book criticising and condemning the Sheikh-ul-Najd and his
beliefs.
13) He
used to stop Muslims from visiting the grave of The
Holy Prophet and
he used to torture and
get the beard
shaved of the
person whom he came to know had visited.
14) He
denied the Wasili (means)
of The
Holy Prophet (Sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam).
*He used to quote the case of Hadhrat Umar (R), taking Hadhrat Abbas and other Companions (R) to an open field for Salat-Istasqa (the prayer for rain) through the Wasila of Hadhrat Abbas (R), being the uncle of the Holy Prophet (S), as a pretext that Wasila of The holy Prophet (S) was not called for because the Holy Prophet (S) had passed away. (*see below)
But he became speechless when refereed to the Tradition narrated by Hadhrat Abdullah bin Abbas (Raddi Allahu Anhum), according to which the Jews used to pray through the Wasila of The Holy Prophet (Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and their prayers were answered even before the holy Prophet (Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born [1]. (also see here)
This
fact is also mentioned in The Holy Quran [2].
There is also a tradition that in a time of a severe draught when the Companions (Raddi Allahu Anhum) came to Hadhrat Aisha (Raddi Allahu Unha) asking her to pray for rain, she advised to make a hole in the roof of the tomb of the holy Prophet (Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and beg Allah for rain which they did and got plenty of rain (6a).
Moreover,
the Salat-Istasqa is only prayed in an open field
and not in any mosque, neither in Masjad-e-Nabvi nor in
Haram-e-Kaaba.
(15) He believed in the material sort of body of Allah, which occupied space [3].
Astaghfirullah!

Atrocities
of the Sheikh-ul-Najd
and Wahhabis
against
Muslim Ummah
during their three periods of domination
in the Arabian
Peninsula:
The Wahhabis demolished
the tombs and
graves of the Companions (Raddi
Allahu Anhum), Tabayen (those
who had the honour of meeting the Prophet's Companions) and Awliyas (
the holy saints) all around Arabia, wherever they could lay their
hands on including Janat-ul-Baqi.
He got toilets built on many graves of the Awliyas. They shed
the blood of
the Muslims, who loved the Holy
Prophet (Sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam), from Taif to Karbala and from Mecca to
Madina.
The first period (1745 to 1818). During this period:
1) The Sheikh-ul-Najd and
his followers got the graves of the Companions (Raddi Allahu Anhum)
grounded in Jabilia.
2) The
first tomb grounded by the Sheikh-ul-Najd himself
was of Hadhrat
Zaid bin Khatab(Raddi
Allahu Unho),, the brother of Caliph
Hadhrat Ummar (Raddi
Allahu Unho).
The Alliance:
The Sheikh-ul-Najd entered
into an alliance with Ibn-e-Saud, according
to which, the Sheikh-ul-Najd would be the Imam while Ibn-e-Saud would
be the head of the new state and both would share the bounties of
wealth, the women as concubines and children as slaves gathered from
killings of the Ahle Sunnah. After that alliance, Wahhabis started
attacking Ahle
Sunnah towns
vigorously.
3) The
first attack, after this alliance was on Riyadh. The town was
captured after many years of siege killing hundreds of Ahle Sunnah
Muslims.
4) The
second attack was on Alhasa,
in which hundreds of Muslims were also killed.
5) In 1801, Wahhabis
attacked Karbala and Baladal
Hussain.
Over
2000 Muslims were massacred filling the bazaars and streets with
the blood and corpses of innocent Muslims. They demolished all tombs
and graves near Jamia Zubair and around the city including
tombs of Hadhrat Talha, Imam Hassan and Imam
Hussain (Raddi Allahu Anhum). Wahhabis looted all
diamonds and precious stones decorating the tombs and took them to
Najd.
6) The Destruction of Taif and Massacre of Muslims
After taking over Taif , Wahhabis killed the Muslims, young, old , women and children and filled the streets and bazaars of Taif with blood and dead bodies of innocent Muslims. The Wahhabis took all their possessions, gold, silver and precious things and distributed amongst them and sent one fifth to Ibn-e-Saud.
7) Attack on Mecca Mukarama
In
1803, Saud attacked Mecca Mukarama.
Saud took
over Mecca Mukarama without fight but massacred Muslims in the Haram
Sharif, even against the command of Allah according to which no blood
be ever shed inside the Haram, the Sanctuary of peace.
He
burnt all the four praying mats of four Ahle Sunnah Imams, demolished
all places of homage, graves and tombs, urinated and
defecated on many of them. He also destroyed the tombs on the birth
place of The Holy Prophet, (Sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) Abu Bakar Siddique, Ali
bin Abu Tallib and Khadija Kubra (Raddi
Allahu Anhum). He even burnt the cloth covering the Kabaa.
8) Capture of Madina Munawara
Saud repeated
the same massacre and bloodshed of Ahle-sunnah Muslims, destroyed all
graves and tombs and Muslim heritage all around the Madina Munawara.
Saud tore
the cloth covering
the grave of
The Holy
Prophet (Sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam), destroyed the Hujra
Sharif and
the ceiling of
the Tomb of
The Holy
Prophet (Sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) to steal the precious stones and metals and
took 60
camels loaded
with treasures with him.
Some Wahhabis even
climbed on the Tomb of The Holy Prophet to
demolish it but they fell with their faces down and died. A big ball
of fire and a serpent appeared and attacked the Wahhabis scaring
them to take to their heels.
9) In
1806, Wahhabis seiged the town of Najaf-e-Ashraf but
could not take it. In retreat, they destroyed and made a havoc in the
outskirts of Baghdad.
10) In
1810, Wahhabis advanced
as far as Horan which
is two days horse journey from Damascus killing innocent Muslims and
looting many towns and villages. When huge waves of cries erupted in
the Arabian Peninsula and the Muslim world against the Wahhabis
barbaric atrocities, Ali
Pasha and his
sons, commanded by the Ottomans,
crushed the Wahhabis
regime in 1818.
Muhammad
Hasni wrote
that Mu-hammed Bin Abdul Wahab Najdi said: “When I went to
study in Basra, mushriks would ask me questions and I would
leave them very surprised with my answers”. “Tareek
Aal-e-Saood”
Shaykh
Uthman Bin Basheer & Shaykh
Juhri takes all the
information we will provide here from Tareekh-e-Najd,
in the book called: “Muhammad
bin Abdul Wahab.”
Shaykh
Juri states: “Mu-hammed
bin Abdul Wahab Najdi called The Ahl-e-sunnah Muslims Kafirs &
Mushriks apart from himself and his (blind) followers”.
The proof for this is that Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab himself said that
in Basra, Mushriks would come and ask me questions, these people
were Muslims and thus Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab only considers himself
and his followers to be Muslims. [“Muhammad
Bin Abdul Wahab”]
Shaykh
Attar wrote
that Shaykh
Najdi said: “I
declare war on these people as the Prophet [May Allah bless Him and
grant Him peace] declared war on the Kuffar of Makkah, against those
people with corrupt beliefs”.
Corrupt beliefs refers to those people who seek intercession from
Anbiyah, Awliyah, and they make their Dua through them (Waseela) and
those people who travelled to the Prophet [May Allah bless Him and
grant Him peace]’s grave with the intention to seek help other than
Allah’s. [“Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab’ page.55”]
The
people who leave their corrupt beliefs and join us then, their blood
will be saved, and those people who do not do ‘Tasuba’ (Repent)
or pay jiz’eiya get ready to do battle. Then Mu-hammed
Bin Abdul Wahab Attar says:
“To
spread the good, It is in Islam as to do Jihad, who can refuse
this.” [“Shaykh
Ahmed Attar”]
Mas’ood
Aalam Nadwi wrote that Mu-hammed bin Abdul Wahab Najdi has
called only those Muslims kafir who make Du’a with the Waseela of
Prophets and Awliya, and he made jihad against them. [“Mas’ood
Aalam Nadwi”]
All
these statements prove that Mu-hammed
bin Abdul Wahab Najdi’s Jihad was
not against kafirs but
against those Muslims who
held the Aq’aid of Ahl-e-Sunnah, like the Khawarij,
he considered all other Muslims to
be kafirs.
Khawarji’s are
those people who consider all other Muslims to
be non-believers apart
from themselves.
They are supposed to kill people
who have trust in pious
people,
as they did with Khabab for saying that he
loved Ali radi-allah-ho-unho.
Also they would call any person who has committed a major
sin a non-believer.
*Even for anything small they would call
the Sahabas non-believer’s as
they did with Uthman,
Talha, and Zubair Radi
allahu taala unhu ajmaeen.
The
Khawrij’s would
only take the literal meaning
of the Holy Qur’an and that would be it they would take it no
further. They would call the Sahee (true)
Hadith fabricated, such
as Hadith-e-Rajm ,(stoning
the Adulator to death), they would label their
opponents non-believers and consider
it right to take their belongings and their wives as slave girls.
When the Khawarij spoke
they would try to refer to the Qur’an or the Hadith as much as
possible.
It
has been said by Abdullah bin Umar (RA)
that Khawarij’s are so mischievous that
they fit those Qur’anic verses that were revealed about
the non-believers. [Bukhari
chapter: Al-Murtadeen]
For
further details please consult books by Ibn Hazam
Sharastani, Abu-Mansoor Ma’tirdi, Abu-Zahra Misrei and Mazhabe
Islamiyah
This
was a strange thing as even Abdul Wahab’s
blind followers could not digest it.
Shaykh
Juhri wrote: ‘I
think that Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab Najdi apart from himself and his
followers has labelled all other Muslims as kafir; while not all
Muslims have worshipped graves and especially the Ulama. At the time
no Muslim’s worshiped grave’s but that was an excuse by Muhammad
Bin Abdul Wahab Najdi so that he could kill the Muslims. [“Muhammad
Ibn Abdul Wahab, page: 36”]
Shaykh
Juhri says: “I
cannot find any reason why they should all have been labelled
Kafirs”. Shaykh
Juhri was a strong follower of Muhammad
Bin Abdul Wahab but
even he was surprised at this action by [Muhammad
Bin Abdal Wahab ]

NOTES ON THE BEDOUINS AND WAHABYS
Quote:
"...The Wahabys declared,
that all men were equal in the eyes of God ; that
even the most virtuous could not intercede with him ;
and that it was, consequently, sinful to invoke departed
saints, and to
honour their mortal remains more than those of any other persons.
Wherever the Wahabys carried
their arms, they
destroyed all the domes and ornamented tombs ;
a circumstance which served to inflame the fanaticism of their
disciples, and to form a marked distinction between them and their
opponents, which it has always been the policy of every founder of a
sect to establish, and which was the more necessary with the common
mass of the Wahabys, who
are not capable of judging accurately on the other points of dispute.
The
destruction of cupolas and tombs of saints became the favourite taste
of the Wahabys.
In
Hedjaz, Yemen, Mesopotamia, and Syria, this was always the first
result of their victory ; and as many domes formed
the roofs of mosques,^ they were charged with destroying these also.
At
Mekka, not a single cupola was suffered to remain over the
tomb of any renowned Arab :
those
even covering the birth-place
of Mohammed, and of
his grandsons, Hassan and Hosseyn, and of
his uncle, Abou Taleb, and his
wife, Khadydje, were all broken down.
While
in the act of destroying them, the Wahabys were
heard to exclaim,“God
have mercy upon those who destroyed, and none upon those who
built them!”
The
Turks, who heard of these ravages, naturally believed
that they were committed through disrespect for the persons to whose
honour they had been erected, and disbelief in their sanctity.
Quote:" Even the large dome over the tomb of Mohammed, at Medinah, was destined to share a similar fate. Saoud had given orders that it should be demolished ; but its solid structure defied the rude efforts of his soldiers ; and after several of them had been killed by falling from the dome, the attempt was given up. This the inhabitants of Medinah declared to have been done through the interposition of Heaven.” [BY JOHN LEWIS BURCKHARDT, "NOTES ON THE BEDOUINS AND WAHABYS" COLLECTED DURING HIS TRAVELS IN THE EAST, PUBLISHED IN 1831CE]

Imam
Muhammad Abu Zahra
Explains Wahhabism
Tarikh al-Madhahib al-Islamiyya
("History of the Islamic Schools")
(1898–1974 CE)
They did not restrain themselves to view worship (`ibada) in the same way that Islam had stipulated in the Qur'an and Sunna and as Ibn Taymiyya had mentioned, but they wished to include customs (`adat) also into the province of Islam so that Muslims would be bound by them. Thus they declared cigarette smoking haram and exaggerated this ruling to the point that their general public considered the smoker a mushrik [idolater].
As a result they resembled the Khawarij who used to declare apostate whoever committed a sin.
In the beginning of their sway they would also declare coffee and whatever resembled it as haram [categorically prohibited] to themselves but it seems that they became more lenient on this point as time went by.
The Wahhabis did not restrain themselves to proselytism only, but resorted to warmongering against whoever disagreed with them on the grounds that they were fighting innovation (bid`a), and innovations are an evil that must be fought, and it is obligatory to command good and forbid evil.1 [...]

-----------------------
Imam
Abu Zahra's book
Tarikh
al-Madhahib al-Islamiyya
The
leader of Wahhabi thought
in the field of war and battle was Muhammad
ibn Sa`ud,
the ancestor of the ruling Sa`udi family
in the Arabian lands. He was a brother-in-law to Shaykh
Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Wahhab and
embraced his madhhab, defending
it fervently and calling unto it by force of arms.
He
announced that he was doing this so as to uphold the Sunna and
eradicate bid`a.
Perhaps, this religious mission that took a violent turn was carrying
with itself a rebellion against Ottoman rule. [...]
Until
the governor of Egypt, Muhammad
`Ali Basha al-Albani, faced them and pounced on
the Wahhabis with his strong
army, routing them in the course of several battles. At that time
their military force was reduced and confined to the Arabian
tribes. Riyadh and
its vicinity was the center for this permanent da`wa that
would turn violent whenever they found the strength and then lie
still whenever they found violent opposition.
Whenever
they were able to seize a town or city they would come to
the tombs and turn them into ruins and destruction [...]
and they would destroy whatever mosques were with the tombs also.
[...]
Their brutality did
not stop there but they also came to whatever graves were
visible and destroyed them also. And when the ruler of
the Hijaz regions caved in to them they destroyed all
the graves of the Companions and razed them to the ground
[...]
They
would cling to small matters which they condemned although they
had nothing to do with idolatry nor with whatever leads to idolatry,
such as photography. We found this in their fatwas and
epistles at the hands of their Ulama, although their
rulers ignore this saying of theirs completely and cast it by the
wayside.
They
expanded the meaning of bid`a [innovation] to
strange proportions, to the point that they actually claimed
that draping the walls of the noble
Rawda [near
the Prophet's
chamber in Madina]
is an innovated matter.
Hence
they forbade the
renewal of the drapes that were in it, until they fell in tatters and
became unsightly, were it not for the light that pours out to all
that are in the presence of the Prophet -
upon him peace - or feels that in this place was the abode of
Revelation on the Master of Messengers. In fact, we find among them,
on top of this, those who consider that the Muslim's expression "our
Master Muhammad"
(sayyiduna Muhammad) is
an impermissible bid`a /
and they show true extremism about this and, for the sake
of their mission, use foul and furious
language until
most people actually flee from them as fast as they can.
"VIII. In
truth, the Wahhabis have
actualized the opinions of Ibn
Taymiyya and
are extremely zealous followers and supporters of those
views. They adopted the positions of Ibn
Taymiyya that
we explained in our discussion of those who call themselves
"Salafiyya."
However,
they expanded the meaning of bid`a and
construed as innovations things that have no relation to worship.
[...]
In
fact, it
has been noticed that the Ulama of
the Wahhabis consider
their own opinions correct and not possibly wrong, while they
consider the opinions of others wrong and not possibly correct.
More
than that, they consider what others than themselves do in the way of
erecting tombs and circumambulating them, as near to idolatry.2
In
this respect they are near the Khawarij who
used to declare those who dissented with them apostate and fight them
as we already mentioned. This was a relatively harmless matter in the
days when they were cloistered in the desert and not trespassing its
boundaries; but when they mixed with others until the Hijaz country
was in the hand of the Sa`ud family,3 the
matter became of the utmost gravity.
This
is why the late King `Abd al-`Aziz of
the Sa`ud family opposed
them, and treated their opinions as confined to
themselves and irrelevant to others."4
[End

Tarikh
al-Madhahib al-Islamiyya

Al al-Shaykh [House of the Shaykh]
They name Mu-hammed ibn `Abd al-Wahhab "Shaykh al-Islam" - although he is by his own Hanbali Madhhab's account a minor figure - and name his descendants Al al-Shaykh [House of the Shaykh] while his brother Sulayman ibn `Abd al-Wahhab declares him an heretic in his fatwa printed under the title:
Fasl al-Khitab min Kitab Allah wa-Hadith al-Rasul (Sallallahu `alayhi wa-Sallam) wa-Kalam Uli al-Albab fi Madhhab Ibni `Abd al-Wahhab ("The Final Word from the Qur'an, the Hadith, and the Sayings of the Scholars Concerning the School of Ibn `Abd al-Wahhab"), also known as al-Sawa`iq al-Ilahiyya fi Madhhab al-Wahhabiyya ("The Divine Thunderbolts Concerning the Wahhabi School").
This book is the earliest refutation of the Wahhabi sect in print, consisting in over forty-five concise chapters spanning 120 pages that show beyond doubt the fundamental divergence of the Wahhabi school, not only from the Consensus and Usul of Ahl al-Sunna wal-Jama`a and the fiqh of the Hanbali madhhab, but also from their putative Imams, Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn al-Qayyim on most or all the issues reviewed.5
The last point shows the fundamental dishonesty of Salafism toward the very Imams they claim as their true link to the Salaf.

(*) The Arabic of the hadith of Abbas bin Abdul Mutlib (Radhi'Allah Anho) is this:

Why
Al Abbas (RA) was asked to do Dua?
Imam
Ibn Hajar Asqalani (Rah):
إن
رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يرى
للعباس ما يرى الولد للوالد ,
فاقتدوا
أيها الناس برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
في عمه العباس واتخذوه وسيلة إلى الله
Rasul
Ullah(salallaho
alaihi wasalam) used to take Al-Abbas(RA)like a son takes his father.
O People You should also follow the Prophet (s) incase of
Al-Abbas(RA) and make him an Intercessor to Allah.
[Fath
al Bari 2:497]
Ibn
Hajar `Asqalani writes more about this Tawasul of Ibn
e Abbas (ra)
"The
episode involving `Abbâs makes it clear that to seek intercession
from the virtuous, the pious and members of the Prophet's family is a
desirable act.In addition, this event proves the high status of
`Abbâs as well as reveals `Umar's respect for him and the
acknowledgement of his status."

Hajar `Asqalânî, Fath-ul-bârî, 2:497;

Imam
Suyuti (rah)
"In
the year 17 `Umar enlarged the Prophetic mosque. That year there was
a drought in the Hijaz. It was named the Year of Cinders (`am
al-ramada). `Umar prayed for rain for the people by means
of al-`Abbas. Ibn Sa`d narrated from [the Sahabi] Niyar al-Aslami
that when`Umar came came out to pray for rain, he came out
wearing the cloaks (burd) of the Messenger of Allah, upon him
blessings and peace.
Al-Suyuti
mentions the context of this event in his Tarikh al-Khulafa' (Beirut,
1992 Ahmad Fares ed. p. 140)]
Intercession
through this cloak , Even Hadrat Umar (RA) was wearing
Prophet's (salehalawaalihi wasalam) cloak at the time, , Now what is
importance of the cloak?
"...Here
is the cloak of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and she
brought out to me that cloak made of Persian cloth with a hem of
brocade, and its sleeves bordered with brocade and said: This
wall Allah's Messenger's cloak with 'A'isha until she died, and when
she died. I got possession of it. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be
upon him) used to wear that, and we washed it for the sick and sought
cure thereby. Sahih

In
the year 1156/1743, a Wahhabi movement did not yet exist.
Mu-hammed
b. 'Abd al-Wahhab was
still trying to attract followers in the small town
of al-'Uyayna.
His weak position was challenged by Sulayman
b. Muhammad al-Hamidi of the Banu Khalid, the chief
of al-Ahsa' and Qatif. The latter threatened the ruler
of al-'Uyayna, 'Uthman b. Hamad b. Ma'mar, that he would not pay
him the land tax (kharzdj) due for his landed properties in
al-Ahsa' if he did not kill the Shaykh. [See Ibn Bishr,
'Unwdn al-Mardd, 20.]
Tandatawi starts
his refutation with
an outline of five
points brought
up by the shaykh,(Najdi) which
he will discuss in the body of the text:
1- People,
especially scholars and the pious, are not living accord-ing to the
rules of the Sharia. They are therefore outside the com-munity of
Islam.
2- People
are not allowed to ask the Prophet, his family, or his Companions for
intercession.
3- People
should not visit the tombs of the Companions buried in al-Yamama, and
the local chiefs should take the land tax ('ushuir) from the
inhabitants.
4- People
do not need to imitate previous 'ulama', such as the founders of the
four legal schools. Each person should refer to the Quran and the
Sunna.
5- Various
matters that could not be accepted by the human mind and that
contradict the Shari'a.

Al-Shaykh
'Abd al-Wahhab b. Ahmad Barakat al-Shafi'i al-Azhari al-Tandatawi's
Kitab
Rad' al-Dalala wa Qam' al-Dahala [the
book of the prevention of error and the suppression of ignorance] is
one of the earliest surviving refutations of Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab's
da'wa.
Tandatawi
finished writing his epistle on Saturday the 6th of Muharram
1156/1743.
It
was copied by al- Qabbani, ten months later, on the 23rd of Dhu
al-Qa'da 1156/1743
The
paper also mentions that the manuscript used contains another book:
Quote:
Kitab
Naqd Qawaid al-Dalal wa Rafd Aqaid al-Dullal (ff.
41a- 63a) is a response to a letter sent by Ibn
Abd al-Wahhab Najdi to
the “ulama”
in Basra
“where he claims that it is based on four rules mentioned by God in
the Quran”.

Mu-hammed
ibn Abd-al-Wahhab
at-Tamimi an-Najdi
regarded himself as a prophet!
Not
by saying:
" I'm a prophet"
but by saying the following:
وأنا أخبركم عن نفسي والله الذي لا إله إلا هو لقد طلبت العلم واعتقد من عرفني أن لي معرفة وأنا ذلك الوقت لا أعرف معنى لا إله إلا الله، ولا أعرف دين الإسلام قبل هذا الخير الذي من الله به. وكذلك مشايخي ما منهم رجل عرف ذلك، فمن زعم من علماء العارض أنه عرف معنى لا إله إلا الله أو عرف معنى الإسلام قبل هذا الوقت أو زعم عن مشايخه أن أحداً عرف ذلك فقد كذب وافترى ولبس على الناس ومدح نفسه بما ليس فيه
"And
I inform you about myself - I swear by Allah whom there is none
worthy to worship except Him - I have sought knowledge and those who
knew me believed that I had knowledge while I did not know the
meaning of
La Ilaha Illa Allah at that time and did not know the
religion of Islam before this grace that Allah favoured.
As
well as my shaikhs (teachers) no one among them knew that.
And if
someone from the scholars of al-'Arid (the lands of Najd and
surrounding areas) claims that he knew the meaning of
La Ilaha Illa
Allah or knew the meaning of Islam before this time, or claims on
behalf of his teachers that someone from them knew that, then he has
lied and said falsehood and deceived people and praised himself with
something he does not possess."

So
where did his sudden "understanding"
come from?
Wahi? No
by Allah, because
there is no prophet after the best
of all creation -
'alayhi salatu wa salam.
So
the only option that is left is that Ibn
'Abd al-Wahhab was indeed a false
prophet!

And the best refutation of the Najdis are their own works!
Let's see what Mu-hammed bin 'Abd al-Wahhab himself said in one of his letters:
وأنا أخبركم عن نفسي والله الذي لا إله إلا هو لقد طلبت العلم واعتقد من عرفني أن لي معرفة وأنا ذلك الوقت لا أعرف معنى لا إله إلا الله، ولا أعرف دين الإسلام قبل هذا الخير الذي من الله به. وكذلك مشايخي ما منهم رجل عرف ذلك، فمن زعم من علماء العارض أنه عرف معنى لا إله إلا الله أو عرف معنى الإسلام قبل هذا الوقت أو زعم عن مشايخه أن أحداً عرف ذلك فقد كذب وافترى ولبس على الناس ومدح نفسه بما ليس فيه
Source: "Ar-Rasa`il ash-Shakhsiyyah": Here
A
brother ("Salah ad-Din") from IA
forums had translated the quote (and the translation is correct):
"And
I inform you about myself - I swear by Allah whom there is none
worthy to worship except Him - I have sought knowledge and those who
knew me believed that I had knowledge while I did not know the
meaning of
La Ilaha Illa Allah at that time and did not know the
religion of Islam before this grace that Allah favored.
As well as my
shaikhs (teachers) no one among them knew that.
And if someone from
the scholars of al-'Arid (the lands of Najd and surrounding areas)
claims that he knew the meaning of La Ilaha Illa Allah or knew the
meaning of Islam before this time, or claims on behalf of his
teachers that someone from them knew that, then he has lied and said
falsehood and deceived people and praised himself with something he
does not possess."
--
If
he himself didn't know the meaning of Tawhid, nor his teachers, nor
their teachers, how and where exactly did his sudden "understanding"
come from?!
The
answer should be obvious: It was his,
own Evil "understanding"!
