The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab injunctions sincerely and properly, everything from avoiding shirk, establishing the prayers, avoiding alcohol, to risking one’s life for the sake of Allah. These are part of the fruits of the beautiful tree of faith and monotheism, as opposed to the rotten results of idolatry and lack of faith, described by Allah in the Quran: †ΩΣ∅⌠≤ς⊇Ω⎝ τŒΨŠ†ΩΤ’ †ΩΣΤ∏π″ςΚ… Ω©†ΩΤ‘⎯∨ςΚ‚⎮≅… ϑðΣ/≅… ]◊Ω‰ΤΤΘΞ∼ς≡ 〉‡Ξ≤π∝ΩΤÿΩ⎝ ω〈Ω≤φΤΤ•Ω↑ς® %†ΩΘΞΤŠΩ⁄ Ξ⇐⇐κΨš ΘΩΡ® πŒΠς‘ΣΤ�πΤ–≅… ]◊Ω‘∼Ψ‰Ω� ]〈Ω≤φΤΤ•Ω↑ς® ξ◊Ω‘∼Ψ‰Ω� ]◊Ω∧Ψ∏Ω{ 〉Ω‘Ω∨Ω⎝ (25) †Ως∏Σ{ΚΡ… ϖ⎠ΨΤ�⎯⎣ΣΤ� φ⎦⎝Σ≤Πς{ϒΩ�ΩΤÿ (24) Ψ∫:†Ω∧ϑð♥√≅… ⎯ψΣΠς∏Ω⊕ς√ ℑ Ξ♣†Πς⇒Ψ∏√ ΨŒΨŠ†Πς‘√≅… Ξ©⌠⎡Ω⊆
313 The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab who is just throwing out dates [that is, he does not get any benefit from his recital].” 1 Jundub ibn Abdullah al-Bajaly said, “We learned imaan [faith] and then we learned the Quran and it increased our imaan.” In reality, the correcting of aqeedah or one’s belief system— not simply in a theoretical sense but in a real sense—is not only the starting point of any true Islamic call, it is also the goal of the call and teachings. When the understanding and the practice of aqeedah is correct, the individual is fulfilling his purpose for which he was created and he is pleasing Allah in the process. He becomes a true servant of Allah and all consequential blessings from that flow to him. Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab understood very well that it is via correcting the aqeedah that one can then correct the acts of worship, the behavior and manners, and all aspects of a person’s life. To correct the “outer” without first correcting what is in a person’s mind and heart will not have any true, long-lasting benefit. As noted earlier, this is the aspect that rang through all of his teaching, writing and communication. In particular, he stressed the very foundation of belief in God and what contradicts that foundation. There is no question that at the time of ibn Abdul-Wahhaab, spreading the correct belief about the nature of the worship of God was the most important and also the most difficult task that he had to fulfill. As alluded to above, some of the essential practices that flow from this proper aqeedah were seen in the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as well as in the closest followers of ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. These aspects include the following: (1) The obligation of applying the law of Allah in one’s life and in one’s society. Prayer, fasting, worshipping only Him, fulfilling trust, business laws, inheritance and numerous other deeds touching upon all spheres of life fall under this realm. These principles apply to all of society, from the ruler to the ruled, from the rich to the poor and so on. (2) The importance of jihad or the willingness to sacrifice for the sake of Allah. The love of Allah and the true worship of Him alone requires that Allah be put above everything else in this life. The love to see the law of Allah implemented and Him alone worshipped 1 Recorded by al-Baihaqi and al-Haakim.
