The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab
process should lead to action—the willingness to implement what one
believes at all cost and to sacrifice for it.
Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab brought about change by emphasizing the
very basics of the faith. The basis of the religion is the true
monotheism (tauheed). This is the one thing that is constant from the
time of Adam until the end of mankind. It does not change for time,
place or people, All the messengers came with the same essential
message. It is associating partners with Allah (shirk)—in all of its
manifestations, ancient or modern—which is the deviation from the
true course and the real deviancy. When this point is understood
properly, it permeates the individual, the family and the complete
society. There is a complete change. The aspirations, the goals, the
dreams and actions of the individual and the society are transformed.
The soul desires to be purified, the heart yearns to become pure. The
heart seeks to be lit with the light of true knowledge. Allah becomes
most beloved, most feared. Nothing else enters the heart in that
fashion. The religion comes first. Sacrifice follows. Allah’s blessings
and victory are soon to come. This is the message that the Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) brought to
mankind and this was the message that ibn Abdul-Wahhaab revived in
this Muslim Nation. May Allah continue to strengthen this religion
and bring people back to the path that is pleasing to Him.
