What are the beliefs of the Wahhabis?
First let’s start in Aqeedah, because if the essential beliefs are wrong, then what good are the rest of their concepts? for, radical ideas result in radical actions.
The quotes are in English and put the reference of their books in Arabic so it’s easier to find.
Among the blasphemous deviations of Wahhabis about Allah (God):
– Wahhabis liken Allah (God) to his creations, and attribute to him body and bodily parts.
See Ibn Baz’s book Tanbihat p19.Book’s name in Arabic:
انظر كتاب ابن باز الوهابي: “تنبيهات في الرد على من تأول الصفات” ص 19، الرئاسة العامة للإفتاء، الرياض
– They say Allah created mankind looking like Him in resemblance!
See their book called “Aqeedat Ahlul-Iman page 40, 90” انظر كتابهم المسمى “عقيدة أهل الإيمان” للتويجري.
– They attribute bodily parts to Allah (we seek refuge with Allah from such kufur)!!
Refer to Ibn Baz’s book Tanbihat.راجع كتاب ابن باز: “تنبيهات في الرد على من تأول الصفات” ص 19

– Wahhabis claim that Allah sits on the throne (^Arsh) as the jews claim!!
See: انظر كتابهم “فتح المجيد” لعبد الرحمن بن حسن ابن محمد بن عبد الوهاب ص/356، مكتبة دار السلام. الرياض.
– Wahhabis claim that Allah is limited and is contained in big and small places!

– They too label themselves as “Wahhabi Muslims” and “The Wahhabi Movement” as literally stated in their books.
Refer to their book “al-Haraka al-Wahhabiya” for Muhammad Khalil Harras p37 and:
انظر كتاب “الحركة الوهابية” لمحمد خليل هراس حيث في ص37 “الدعوة الوهابية” وانظر كتاب “الشيخ محمد بن عبد الوهاب عقيدته السلفية ودعوته الإسلامية” لأحمد ابن حجر ءال بوطامي أحد كبار دعاتهم في قطر ص(105) وانظر كتاب محمد بن جميل زينو “قطوف من الشمائل المحمدية” ص67.
Such beliefs are blasphemous and against al-Qur’an. All Muslims believe that Allah is supremely great, He does not resemble the creations in any way. His istiwa’ on the throne and his aboveness is in STATUS and RANK and NOT in literal height, spaces, or places!! Because Allah the exalted existed eternally before the creations and before time and place, without a form, shape, body or place. He cannot be imagined in the minds. Nothing resembles Allah whatsoever. When Prophet Muhammad was asked about the beginning of time he said: “Allah existed eternally and there was nothing else.” al-Bukhariy. Hence, it is impossible that after having been existing without a place, He would become in a place, because this is a development, and the development is a sign of needing others, and the one who needs others is not God.
