Youtube Description
#wahhabism #islam #muslimskeptic This in-depth documentary presents the history of Wahhabism as a political religious movement, its break fromtraditional Sunni Islam, and its evolution into the 20th century. Daniel Haqiqatjou cites over 60 historical quotations from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and the main figures of Wahhabism. Also cited are the Sunni scholars throughout history who have critiqued Ibn Abd al-Wahhab and described the core doctrine of Wahhabism as a revival of the oldest heresy in Islam: Kharijism.
The documentary problematizes the Wahhabi claim that it is the purest expression of Islamic monotheism and that it is the faithful preservation of the creed (aqida) of the Salaf, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Ibn Taymiyya. The documentary demonstrates that Wahhabism's focus on a claimed purity of aqida has been used -- from the beginning until today -- as a political tool to generate hatred against non-Wahhabi Muslims and spark violent jihad against them.

What is Saudi Arabia?Saudi Arabia, officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is a country in Western Asia constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula. With a land area of approximately 2,150,000 km2 (830,000 sq mi), Saudi Arabia is geographically the largest sovereign state in the Middle East, the 2nd largest in the Arab world (after Algeria), the 5th largest in Asia, and the 12th largest in the world. Saudi Arabia is bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast and Yemen to the south; most of its terrain consists of arid desert, lowland and mountains. As of October 2018, the Saudi economy was the largest in the Middle East and the 18th largest in the world. Saudi Arabia also enjoys one of the world's youngest populations; 50% of its 33.4 million people are under 25 years old.
What is Wahhabi?Wahhabism is an Islamic doctrine and religious movement founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. It has been variously described as "ultraconservative", "austere", "fundamentalist", or "puritan(ical)"; as an Islamic "reform movement" to restore "pure monotheistic worship" (tawhid) by devotees; and as a "deviant sectarian movement", "vile sect" and a distortion of Islam by its opponents. The term Wahhabi(ism) is often used polemically and adherents commonly reject its use, preferring to be called Salafi or muwahhid, claiming to emphasize the principle of tawhid (the "uniqueness" and "unity" of God), for exclusivity on monotheism, dismissing other Muslims as practising shirk (idolatry).
What is Salafi?Salafi refers to a fundamentalist movement within Sunni Islam that emphasizes a return to the practices of the early generations of Muslims. These are often described as the "pious predecessors" (al-salaf al-??li?). Salafis adhere to a literal interpretation of the Quran and the Sunna (the Prophet Muhammad's teachings and practices). The movement is characterized by its emphasis on purifying Islam from what it perceives as later accretions and innovations.
What is Islam?One of the major religions of the world, Islam literally translates to "submission," as a follower of Islam (Muslims) devotes their life to that of their God. The religion began with the teachings of Muhammad in the 7th century. The theology of Islam is based on the Qur'an, which was given to Muhammad by God. Some of the major fundamental principles of Islam include the Five Pillars, which hope to unite all Muslims into a community. Two different factions of Muslims exist - the majority are known as Sunni, with a small percentage known as Shi'a - both predominantly reside throughout the Middle East. Muhammad died in 632 AD and the religion of Islam formally started after his death. The Quran was formally compiled and finalised in 650 AD, prior to which it was 'memorised' and written across many parchments.
