<strong>The</strong> <strong>Life</strong>, <strong>Teachings</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Influence</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Muhammad</strong> ibn Abdul-Wahhaab<br />

in the West, much dawah effort is exerted towards the “<strong>com</strong>moners”<br />

<strong>and</strong> even prisoners but not as much effort seems to be exerted in<br />

converting some <strong>of</strong> the leaders <strong>of</strong> the society. Even the publications<br />

introducing people to Islam are written in such a manner that they may<br />

not have much effect on those who are used to a different level <strong>of</strong><br />

scholarship. <strong>The</strong> Prophet (peace <strong>and</strong> blessings <strong>of</strong> Allah be upon him)<br />

set the first example <strong>and</strong> ibn Abdul-Wahhaab followed that example<br />

<strong>and</strong> they both demonstrated that it is <strong>of</strong> great importance to try to<br />

bring influential <strong>and</strong> powerful people to Islam, people who in <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

themselves can be a benefit to Islam after embracing Islam.<br />

Having Full Certainty with Respect to the Absolute Importance <strong>of</strong><br />

Following the Truth<br />
