The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab them. The followers’ mindsets will be clearer and their thoughts will not be opened to doubts when the issues are clearly answered for them. As for the foes, Allah may open their hearts to the truth via sound arguments or Allah may make the proof completely established against them. The basis for this approach is found in the Quran. For example, concerning Noah, Allah says, (61) φ⎦κΨ∧ς∏ΗΤΩΤ⊕
345 The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab understood the importance of this topic. In writing to Muhammad ibn Sultaan, who was going to debate with people from al-Ahsaa, he told him, “Be aware of the people of al-Ahsaa as they may try to trick you by some matters that are not related to the issue or they may confuse you by some false words.” 1 In a letter to the judge Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Ahsaa`ee, ibn Abdul-Wahhaab advised him concerning the dangers of taking the words of the evildoers at face value. In this important letter, he explained to the judge the manner in which the evildoers and hypocrites behave. He tells him not to be hasty. He adds, “Allah has described the hypocrites in His book by their characteristics, and He has also explained the branches of hypocrisy, so that they may be avoided and so that its people may be avoided. Allah describes them as having eloquence and fine speech. He even states that they have a good appearance.” Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab then goes on to discuss their evil characteristics and means as stated by Allah in the Quran. 2 Indeed, in many of his books and writings, ibn Abdul- Wahhaab has exposed the ways of the disbelievers, hypocrites and evildoers. In particular, one may refer to Masaail al-Jaahiliyyah (“The Issues of the Period of Ignorance”) and Kashf al-Shubuhaat (“Clarification of Misunderstandings”). There is a final important note to mention. As shall be noted, Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab’s opponents resorted to falsehood and abuse. However, in his defense, he never resorted to such behavior. He simply presented the truth established in the Quran and Sunnah. He allowed that truth to stand for itself. He realized that, like the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), there is no excuse or reason to turn to means that are disliked by Allah. Realizing What Means the Enemies of the Truth May Resort to The way of disbelief can have a strong hold for those whose life is patterned on such misguidance and desires. It is not an easy task to convince people to give up a life that they have enjoyed for a long time, that their fathers had passed on to them or that they are materially benefiting from. Thus Allah says in the Quran about the 1 Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab, Muallifaat, vol. 7, p. 145. 2 Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab, Muallifaat, vol. 7, p. 251.
