THE FACT OF NAJD

AND WAHABBIS

Complied by
SHAMIM COMMON_MUSLIM

Part: I - Is Najd of Saudi Arabia is the same from where horns of

Satan arose
The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "O Allah bestow your
blessings on our Sham. O Allah bestow your blessings on our Yemen." The
people said, "O Messenger of Allah, and our Najd?" I think the third time the
Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "There will occur earthquakes,
trials and tribulations, and from their will appear the Horns of Satan."
(Reported in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree )
This is the controversial hadith for which Muslim sects are fighting with each other
and the innocent common Muslim is just getting crushed between them. I am also
one of them. So now its our duty to find out the true significance with our clear
and honest mind and of course with an IMPARTIAL MIND, which is very important
here. Let us reject all sectarian views and start searching our basic fundamentals
in this regard i.e Quran and the Sayings of Prophet. Now the question is what the
importance of Najd here is? This ONE hadith which created so many hue and cries
and made a mess in Islam within the same community by the educated ones. As
such it has become necessary to look into this issue from a view point of a COMMON
MUSLIM, and not from the views of Aalims and Ulemas. Isint.
If we minutely get into this hadith we will find that prophet directly said bless
Yemen similarly he also said bless Sham but when the term of Najd came he
remained quiet first. When it was asked repeatedly for the third time, he said in
an indirect form that there will occur earthquakes, trials and tribulations, and from
their will appear the Horns of Satan. So not only Horns of Satan but also
earthquakes, trials and tribulations also. He said Bless Yemen, He said bless Sham,
but when the term of Najd came he spoke like this there will be trials and
tribulations, and from their will appear the Horns of Satan.
2

This has some

significance isnt. Najd here does not indicate particular city or town like Yemen
(place in South of Arabia) or Sham (Place in North of Arabia) but a direction
where Najd lies actually (from there will appear). I will come to this point later
on along with the clarifications from Hadith. For time being if we consider the
Satans Horn only, then first of all we should find what the work of Satan is. The
foremost thing of Satan is to deviate mankind from the path of Allah, either
through Shirk or Kufr. He also challenged Allah to change the NATURE of
mankind i.e Moral Corruption. It is Satan that makes evils fair to mankind
thus leading them towards Hell. All these are in Quran and not from any hadith.
(http://misconceptions-clarified.blogspot.in/2012/01/shaitan-said-that-he-willcommand-man.html)
Now if we check out the history we will see that after Prophets death there came
lots of trails and tribulation like Killings of Companions, Battle of Karbala, Killing of
prophets grandchildren etc. Later on people deviated from the path of Sunah and
started introducing new things in islam like saint worship, tombs worship and a
new concept of Islam known as Sufism. Muslims were divided into minor and two
major sect called Sunni and Shia. MUCH MUCH AFTER
ALL THESE trails and tribulations, IN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, MUHAMMAD IBN
ABDUL WAHHAB ARRIVED. And if we think that the trials and tribulations finished
after the death of Wahhab, because he was the Horns of Satan, then look one of
the gravest and dangerous trails and devastation occurred when Shias - Sunni
fought for 8 whole years (1980 to 1988) involving SHAMEFUL casualties like this
(320,000720,000 soldiers and militia killed from Irans side and 150,000
375,000 soldiers and militia killed from Iraqs side Economic loss of more than
US$1000 billion from both side together AND AND AND 100,000+ civilians killed
on both sides AND AND AND An estimated 95,000 Iranian child soldiers were made
casualties during the IranIraq War)

The WAR

School children killed in thousands

T
Iranian woman soldier killed in the IranIraq war

The Iranians captured some 19,000 soldiers from a demoralized Iraqi Army in 1982.

Cargo ship destroyed

Poison gas attack 1988

Now the question is if Wahhabis arrived in 18th Century i.e around 1200 years after
the death of prophet to the birth of Wahhab, WHO WAS THE GREAT HORNS

OF SATAN WHO CREATED SUCH GREAT GREAT GREAT TRAILS AND TRIBULATIONS
IN THE LAND OF ARABS BOTH BEFORE HIM AND AFTER HIM. WAS MUHAMMADIBN-ABDUL-WAHHABS TRIBULATIONS GREATER THAN THESE:
Killings of Companions, Battle of Karbala, Killing of prophets grandchildren,
Deviation of people from the path of Sunnah, Saint worship, construction of
tombs, tombs worship, introduction of a new concept in Islam known as Sufism
and the division of Muslim into minor and two major sect Sunni and Shia, Gulf
war etc.

Let the people decide honestly. In the meantime let me dig some more of spices
from it to prove that whether Wahhabis were actually the Horns of Satan as myself
is also not a WAHHABI. Let us check the history of Wahhabis now. If we check out
these impartial sites (i.e nonsectarian Muslim sites) like Encyclopedia Britannica or
Wikipedia we will see that Wahhabis basically tried to resist all those challenges
which Satan gave to Allah. The excerpts below from Encyclopedia Britannica or
Wikipedia along with the HIGHLIGHTS in them are sufficient enough to decide
honestly whether Wahhabis were horns of Satan or were the sword of Quran and
Sunnah to break the Dreadful Horns of Satan which spread its root completely
since the death of prophet in form of Killings of
Companions, Battle of Karbala, Killing of prophets grandchildren, Deviation of
people from the path of Sunnah, Saint worship, construction of tombs, tombs
worship, introduction of a new concept in Islam known as Sufism and the division
of Muslim into minor and two major sect Sunni and Shia, etc.

Part-II Muammad ibn Abd al-Wahhb

(As per Britannica Encyclopedia)

Muammad ibn Abd al-Wahhb, (born 1703, Uyaynah, Arabia [now in Saudi
Arabia]died 1792, Ad-Diryah), theologian and founder of the Wahhb
movement,
which attempted a return of people to the true
principles
of
Islam.
Having completed his formal education in the holy city of Medina, in Arabia, Abd
al-Wahhb lived abroad for many years. He taught for four years in Basra, Iraq,
and in Baghdad he married an affluent woman whose property he inherited when
she died (As per Christian writer Margoulith). In 1736, in Iran, he began to teach
against what he considered to be the extreme ideas of various
exponents of Sufi doctrines

. On returning to his native city, he wrote

the Kitb at-tawd (Book of Unity), which is the main text for Wahhb doctrines.
His followers call themselves al-Muwaidn, or Unitarians; the term Wahhb
is generally used by non-Muslims and opponents.
Abd al-Wahhbs teachings have been characterized as puritanical and
traditional, representing the early era of the Islamic religion. He made a
clear stand against all innovations (bidah) in Islamic faith because he
believed them to be reprehensible, insisting that the original grandeur of
Islam could be regained if the Islamic community would return to the
principles enunciated by the Prophet Muhammad. Wahhb doctrines,
therefore, do not allow for an intermediary between the faithful and
Allah and condemn any such practice as polytheism.

The decoration of

mosques, the cult of saints, and even the smoking of tobacco were
condemned.

When the preaching of these doctrines led to controversy, Abd

alWahhb was expelled from Uyaynah in 1744. He then settled in AdDiryah, capital of Ibn Sad, a ruler of the Najd (now in Saudi Arabia).
The spread of Wahhbsm originated from the alliance that was formed between
Abd al-Wahhb and Ibn Sad, who, by initiating a campaign of conquest that was
continued by his heirs, made Wahhbsm the dominant force in Arabia since 1800.
Wahhb, also spelled Wahb, any member of the Muslim puritan movement
founded by Muammad ibn Abd al-Wahhb in the 18th century in Najd, central
Arabia, and adopted in 1744 by the Sad family.
The political fortunes of the Wahhb were immediately allied to those of the Sad
dynasty. By the end of the 18th century, they had brought all of Najd under their
control, attacked Karbal, Iraq, a holy city of the Shite branch of Islm, and
occupied Mecca and Medina in western Arabia. The Ottoman sultan brought an end
to the first Wahhb empire in 1818, but the sect revived under the leadership of
the Sad Fayal I. The empire was then somewhat restored until once again
destroyed at the end of the 19th century by the Rashdyah of northern Arabia. The
activities of Ibn Sad in the 20th century eventually led to the creation of the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932 and assured the Wahhb religious and political
dominance on the Arabian Peninsula.
Members of the Wahhb call themselves al-Muwaidn, Unitarians, a name
derived from their emphasis on the absolute oneness of God (tawhid). They deny
all acts implying polytheism, such as visiting tombs and venerating saints,
and advocate a return to the original teachings of Islm as incorporated
in the Qurn and adth (traditions of Muammad), with condemnation of
all innovations (bidah). Wahhb theology and jurisprudence, based,
respectively, on the teachings of Ibn Taymyah and on the legal school of

Amad ibn anbal, stress literal belief in the Qurn and adth and the
establishment of a Muslim state based only on Islmic law.

Muammad ibn Abd al-Wahhb (As per Wikipedia)

Wahhabism (Arabic:
, Wahhbiyyah) is a conservative branch of Sunni Islam.
It is a religious movement among fundamentalist Islamic believers, with an
aspiration to return to the primordial fundamental Islamic sources Quran, Hadith
and scholarly consensus (Ijma). Wahhabism was a popular revivalist movement
instigated by an eighteenth century theologian, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab
(17031792) from Najd, Saudi Arabia.

He began his movement

through peaceful

discussions with attendees of various shrines[5] and eventually gained

popular support by convincing the local Amir, Uthman ibn Mu'ammar, to
help him in his struggle.[6] Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab advocated a popular
purging of the widespread practices by Muslims being what he considered
to be impurities and innovations in Islam. It is claimed that this was carried
out by some of his more extreme followers by the killing of innocent Sunni Muslims
however this is fiercely debated.[7] . However the movement claims to adhere
to the correct understanding of the general Islamic doctrine of Tawhid, on the
"uniqueness" and "unity" of God, shared by the majority of Islamic sects, but with
an emphasis on advocating following of the Athari school of thought only.[9] Ibn
Abd-al-Wahhab was influenced by the writings of Ibn Taymiyya and questioned the
prevalent philosophical interpretations of Islam being the Ash'ari and Maturidi
schools, claiming to rely on the Qur'an and the Hadith without speculative
philosophy so as to not transgress beyond the limits of the early Muslims known
as the Salaf. He
attacked a

"perceived moral decline and political weakness"

in
9

the Arabian Peninsula and condemned what he perceived as idolatry, the

popular cult of saints, and shrine and tomb visitation.
The terms Wahhabi and Salafi and ahl al-hadith (people of hadith) are often used
interchangeably, but Wahhabism has also been called "a particular orientation
within Salafism", an orientation considered ultra-conservative and apolitical.
The movement gained unchallenged precedence in the Arabian peninsula through
an alliance between Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and the House of Muhammad
ibn Saud who provided political and financial power for the religious revival
represented by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. The writer El Khabar Ousbou suggests the
popularity of the Wahhabi movement is in part due to this alliance and the funding
of several religious channels.
Mohammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab studied in Basra (now in southern Iraq) and is
reported to have developed his ideas there. He is reported to have studied in
Mecca and Medina while there to perform Hajj before returning to his home town
of 'Uyayna in 1740.
After his return to 'Uyayna, ibn Abd-al-Wahhab began to attract followers, including
the ruler of the town, Uthman ibn Mu'ammar. With Ibn Mu'ammar's support, ibn
Abd-al-Wahhab began to implement some of his ideas such
as

leveling

the

grave

of Zayd

ibn

al-Khattab,

one

o
f

the Sahaba(companions) of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, and

ordering that an adulteress be stoned to death. These actions were
disapproved of by Sulaiman ibn Muhammad ibn Ghurayr of the tribe
of Bani Khalid, the chief of Al-Hasa and Qatif, who held substantial
influence in Nejd and ibn Abd-al-Wahhab was expelled from 'Uyayna .

10

Part-III: Wahabbism
Beliefs of Wahabbi or What did the ibn-abdal-wahhabb preached

The Wahhabi subscribe to the primary doctrine of the uniqueness and

unity of God (Tawhid). The first aspect being belief in Allah and His
Lordship that He alone is the believer's lord or Rabb. The second being that
once one affirms the oneness of worship to Allah and Allah alone.
The third is belief and affirmation of Allah's Names and Attributes.
Wahhabi theology is very precise in its creed or Aqeedah where
the Quran and Hadith are the only fundamental and authoritative texts
taken with the understanding of the Salaf. Commentaries and "the
examples of the early Muslim community (Ummah) and the four Rightly
Guided Caliphs(AD 632661)" known as Athar narrations are used to
support these texts, hence the name of the school of theology given as
Athari, but are not considered independently authoritative.
Ibn Abd al-Wahhab further explains in his book Kitab al-Tawhid, which
draws directly on material from the Quran and the narrations of the
Prophet, that worship in Islam includes conventional acts of worship such
as the five daily prayers; fasting; Dua (supplication); Istia'dha (seeking
protection or refuge); Ist'ana (seeking help), and Istigatha to Allah
(seeking benefits and calling upon Allah alone). Therefore, making du'a or

11

calling upon anyone or anything other than God, or seeking supernatural

help and protection that is only befitting of a divine
being from something other than Allah alone are acts of "shirk" and
contradict the tenets of Tawhid. Ibn Abd al-Wahhab further explains that
Muhammad during his lifetime tried his utmost to identify and repudiate
all actions that violated these principles.
The most important of these commentaries are those by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab in
particular his book Kitab al-Tawhid, and the works of Ibn Taymiyyah. Ibn Abd al-

12

Wahhab was a follower of Ahmad ibn Hanbal's school of fiqh (Islamic

jurisprudence) like most in Nejd at the time, but "was opposed to any of the schools
(Madh'hab) being taken as an absolute and unquestioned authority".
However Ibn Abd al-Wahhab did not totally condemn taqlid, or blind adherence,
only at scholarly level in the face of a clear evidence or proof from a hadeeth or
Qur'anic text. Although Wahhabis are associated with the Hanbali school, early
disputes did not center on fiqh and the belief that Wahhabism was borne of Hanbali
thought has been called a "myth".

Condemnation of "Priests" and other religious leaders

Wahhabism denounces the practice of total blind adherence to the interpretations
of scholars, at a scholarly level, and of practices passed on within the family or
tribe. Ibn Abd al-Wahhab was dedicated to champion these principles and combat
what was seen as the stagnation of Islamic scholarship which the majority of
Muslims had seemingly fully adhered to without question, through taqlid of the
established Ottoman clergy at the time. His idea was that what he perceived to be
blind deference to religious authority obstructs this direct connection with the
Qur'an and Sunnah, leading him to deprecate the importance and full authority of
leaders at the time, such as
the scholars and mufti's of the age. When arguing for his positions, Ibn Abd
alWahhab would use translations and interpretation of the verses (known as ayat
in Arabic) of the Qur'an that were contrary to the consensus amongst the
scholars of the age, and positions against which there had been consensus for
centuries. This methodology was considered extremely controversial at the time, in
opposition to established clergy of the era, and was refuted as being erroneous
by a number of scholars.

However the Wahhabi movement saw itself as

13

championing the re-opening of ijtihad, being intellectual pursuit of scholarly work

clarifying opinions in the face of new evidence being a newly proven sound
or sahih hadeeth, a discovered historical early ijma(scholarly consensus from the
early Muslims) or a suitable analogy, qiyas, based on historical records; in
contrast to the witnessed saturation of Islamic jurisprudence that no longer
considered ijtihad to be a viable alternative to total scholarly taqlid, being total
submission to previous scholarly opinion regardless of unquestionable proof that
contradicts this.

Criticism
Allegedly the first people to oppose Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab were his father
Abd al-Wahhab and his brother Salman Ibn Abd al-Wahhab who was an Islamic
scholar and qadi. Ibn Abd al-Wahhab's brother wrote a book in refutation of his
brothers' new teachings, called: "The Final Word from the Qur'an, the Hadith, and
the Sayings of the Scholars Concerning the School of Ibn `Abd alWahhab"), also
known as: "Al-Sawa`iq al-Ilahiyya fi Madhhab al-Wahhabiyya" ("The Divine
Thunderbolts Concerning the Wahhabi School").
In "The Refutation of Wahhabism in Arabic Sources, 17451932", Hamadi Redissi
provides original references to the description of Wahhabis as a divisive sect (firqa)
and outliers (Kharijites) in communications between Ottomans and Egyptian
Khedive Muhammad Ali. Redissi details refutations of Wahhabis by scholars

14

(muftis); among them Ahmed Barakat Tandatawin, who in 1743 describes

Wahhabism as ignorance (Jahala).

Criticism by shi'ites and destruction of venerated graves

In 1801 and 1802, the Saudi Wahhabis under Abdul Aziz ibn Muhammad ibn Saud
attacked and captured the holy Shia cities of Karbala and Najaf in Iraq and
destroyed the tombs of Husayn ibn Ali who is the grandson of Muhammad, and
son of Ali (Ali bin Abu Talib), the son-in-law of Muhammad (see: Saudi sponsorship
mentioned previously). In 1803 and 1804 the Saudis captured
Makkah and Madinah and demolished various venerated shrines, monuments and
removed a number of what was seen as sources or possible gateways to polytheism
or Shirk - such as the shrine built over the tomb of Fatimah, the daughter of
Muhammad. In 1998 the Saudis bulldozed and allegedly poured gasoline over the
grave of Aminah bint Wahb, the mother of Muhammad, causing resentment
throughout the Muslim World.

Criticism by sufi organisations

The Syrian professor and scholar Dr. Muhammad Sa'id Ramadan alButi criticises the Salafi movement in a few of his works.
The Sufi Islamic Supreme Council of America founded by the Naqshbandi sufi
Shaykh Hisham Kabbani classify Wahhabbism as being extremist and heretical
based on Wahhabbism's rejection of sufism and what they believe to be traditional
sufi scholars. However the ISCA is alleged to have links to the neoconservative
lobby in the United States, hence explaining the groups hatred for the "wahhabi"
movement. Kabbani allegedly thanked UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw in 2005
for the role the UK played in the Middle East, saying:

We are glad to see changes taking place in the political

mechanisms in the Middle East. We hope to see an end to tyranny and
15

freedom of belief and political openness in the region.

we are happy to observe a strong upsurge in freedom of speech,
(Point to note:
introduction of corruption by the Non-Muslim forces in disguise of this liberty to
Muslims.

The Deobandi Alim Abd al-Hafiz al-Makki has argued that Muhammad ibn
Abd al-Wahhab viewed authentic sufism in a positive light comparing it to
the sciences of tafseer, hadith, and fiqh. As proof, the Shaykh also cites a
letter in which Abd-al-Wahhab writes;

16

We do not negate the way of the Sufis and the purification of the inner self
from the vices of those sins connected to the heart and the limbs as long
as the individual firmly adheres to the rules of Shariah and the correct
and observed way. However, we will not take it on ourselves to
allegorically interpret (tawil) his speech and his actions. We only place
our reliance on, seek help from, beseech aid from and place our confidence
in all our dealings in Allah Most High. He is enough for us, the best trustee,
the best mawla and the best helper. May Allah send peace on our master
Muhammad, his family and companions.

Destruction of Islam's early historical sites

The Wahhabi teachings disapprove of veneration of the historical sites associated
with early Islam, on the grounds that only God should be worshipped and that
veneration of sites associated with mortals leads to idolatry. Many buildings
associated with early Islam, including mazaar, mausoleums and other artifacts
have been destroyed in Saudi Arabia by Wahhabis from early 19th century through
the present day. This practice has proved controversial and has received
considerable criticism from Sunni and Shia Muslims and in the non-Muslim World.

OttomanSaudi War
The OttomanSaudi War, also known as the EgyptianWahhabi War, was
fought in 18111818 between Egypt under the reign of Muhammad Ali Pasha
(nominally under Ottoman rule) and the army of the First Saudi State. It resulted
in the destruction of the First Saudi State.

17

The Wahhabi movement was part of a fundamentalist/revisionist movement within

Islam that would lead to the first Saudi State, and its crushing by the Ottoman
empires Egyptian viceroy Muhammad Ali Pasha.
Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and the amir Muhammad ibn Saud launched their
campaign to reform Islam and consolidate power in Arabia from their
power-base
Diriyah.

in

By 1805, the Wahhabis controlled Mecca and Medina, had

attacked Karbala and the Imam Husayn Shrine. The Wahhabis also attacked
Ottoman trade caravans which interrupted the Ottoman finances. The Saudi amir
denounced the Ottoman sultan and called into question the validity of his claim to
be caliph and guardian of the sanctuaries of the Hejaz and when the Ottoman
empire ordered the upstart Muhammad Ali, viceroy of Egypt, to fight the
Wahhabis. The Ottoman Empire was suspicious of Muhammed Alis ambition, and
thought that by ordering Ali against the Wahhabis, the defeat of either would be
beneficial.
Muhammad Ali was ordered to crush the state as early as December 1807 by
Sultan Mustafa IV, however internal strife within Egypt prevented him from giving
full attention to the Wahhabis. The Egyptians were not able to recapture the holy
cities until 1811.
However, it would take until September 1818 that the Wahhabis state would end
with the surrendering of the leaders. Ibrahim Pasha, Muhammad Alis son, had
taken over the campaign in 1817. Gaining the support of the volatile Arabian
tribes by skillful diplomacy and lavish gifts

, he advanced into central Arabia to

occupy the towns of Unaizah and Buraidah. Joined now by most of the principal
tribes, he appeared before the Saudi capital Diriyah in April 1818. With their march

18

to Diriyah plagued by Wahhabi attacks, they arrived in Diriyah in April 1818. It

took until September for the Wahhabis to surrender, in part due to
Ibrahims poorly trained army. Diriyah was destroyed on June 1819, and
Egyptian garrisons were posted in the principal towns. The head of the Wahhabi
state, Amir Abd Allah, was sent to Constantinople to be executed .
Now I must ask one question whether it were Wahhabis who killed women and
children in thousands in war as claimed by Non Wahhabi thinkers or the Ibrahim
Pasha himself through Un-Islamic skillful diplomacy and lavish gifts to local tribes,
OR whether it were Wahhabis who RAPED women in thousands in war as claimed
by Non Wahhabi thinkers or the Ibrahim Pasha himself through in UnIslamic skillful
diplomacy and lavish gifts to local tribes. HONESTLY this claim is fully wrong that
the Wahhabis spread terror in the name of Islam and killed thousands of women
and children and raped hundreds of women in the name of islam. CHEATING,
MANIPULATIONS, CORRUPTIONS, INNOVATIONS were present in Arabs after the
death of prophets and companions against which the Wahhabis use revival
movement for which they were branded Horns of Satan. How can they blame
without any authority. The killing and rape blame below to
Wahhabis will speak off itself from the figure below although they were defeated:

19

20

and after them)

11,000 dead

2,000 dead

3,000 wounded

1,000 wounded, 50 captured.

Advantages: International influence and propagation

According to observers, such as Gilles Kepel, Wahhabism gained considerable
influence in the Islamic World following a tripling (a boost) in the price of oil in
the mid-1970s and the progressive takeover of Saudi Aramco in the 19741980
period. The Saudi government began to spend tens of billions of dollars throughout
the Islamic World to promote Wahhabism, which was sometimes referred to as
"petro-Islam". According to the documentary called The Qur'an aired in the UK,
presenter Antony Thomas suggested the figure may be
"upward of $100 billion".[65]
Its largess funded an estimated "90% of the expenses of the entire faith",
throughout the Muslim World, according to journalist Dawood al-Shirian.[66] It
extended to young and old, from children's madrasas to high-level scholarship.[67]
"Books, scholarships, fellowships, mosques" (for example, "more than 1,500
mosques were built from Saudi public funds over the last 50 years") were paid
for.[68] It rewarded journalists and academics, who followed it and built satellite
campuses around Egypt for Al Azhar, the oldest and most influential Islamic
university.[69]
This financial power has done much to overwhelm less strict local interpretations
of Islam, according to observers like Dawood al-Shirian and Lee Kuan Yew,[66] and
has caused the Saudi interpretation to be perceived as the correct interpretation
in many Muslims' minds.[70]
21

The Saudis have spent at least $87 billion propagating Wahhabism abroad during
the past two decades, and the scale of financing is believed to have increased in
the past two years. The bulk of this funding goes towards the construction and
operating expenses of mosques, madrasas, and other religious institutions that
preach Wahhabism. It also supports imam training; mass media and publishing
outlets; distribution of textbooks and other literature; and endowments to
universities (in exchange for influence over the appointment of Islamic scholars).
Some of the hundreds of thousands of non-Saudis who live in Saudi Arabia and
the Persian Gulf have been influenced by Wahhabism and preach Wahhabism in
their home country upon their return. Agencies controlled by the Kingdom's
Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da'wah

and Guidance are responsible

for outreach to non-Muslim residents and are converting hundreds of nonMuslims into Islam every year.

sectarian sites, for the sake of impartiality like Wikipedia)

Part-IV My Conclusion
Now the question arises that after due consideration of all the above aspect like
Murder of Companions, Battle of Karbala, Killing of prophets grandchildren etc.
Later on deviation of the people from the path of Sunah and introduction of new
things in Islam like saint worship, tombs worship and a new concept of Islam
known as Sufism. Division of Muslims into many minor and two major sects called
Sunni and Shia. MUCH MUCH AFTER ALL THESE trials and tribulations, IN
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, MUHAMMAD IBN ABDUL WAHHABs ARRIVAL. After that a
more gravest and dangerous form of tribulations when Shias - Sunni fought for 8
whole years involving SHAMEFUL casualties like this (320,000720,000 soldiers
and militia killed from Irans side and 150,000375,000 soldiers and militia killed
from Iraqs side Economic loss of more than US$1000 billion from both side
together AND AND AND 100,000+ civilians killed on both sides AND AND AND An
22

estimated 95,000 Iranian child soldiers were made casualties during the IranIraq
War)

DO we think that the trials and tribulations have now completely finished after the
death of Wahhabi, because he was the horns of Satan? Keeping in view all the
above shameful activities before the advent of Wahhabi, we can honestly say that
the GRAVITY of Wahhabi movement was not at all, not at all, not at all was like a
horns of Satan in comparison to those trials and tribulations which has preceded
before his arrival. This I have judged as a common Muslim. So what the
significance of Najd although it is in Saudi Arabia, no doubt. We cant deny the fact
that Najd is in Saudi Arabia. I wont fight like educated Aalims and Ulemas to
establish that it is in Iraq only. So what did prophet actually meant by that
statement. WAS PROPHET IDIOT WHO ONLY CONSIDERED THE 18th
CENTURY WAHABBI MOVEMENT AS HORNS OF SATAN AND BLAME NAJD
FROM WHERE IT WILL BE TRAILS AND TRIBULATIONS AND WILL RISE
HORNS OF SATAN INSTEAD OF THESE: (Murder of Companions, Battle of
Karbala, Killing of prophets grandchildren etc. Later on deviation of the people
from the path of Sunah and introduction of new things in Islam like saint
worship, tombs worship and a new concept of Islam known as Sufism. Division
of Muslims into two major sects called Sunni and Shia etc)??? The fact is that

when prophet was speaking this hadith at that time he insisted actually the region
as a whole where precisely all these trials and tribulations will took place. Literally
Nejd means a plateau or a raised land and also indicates East as per hadith
presented below. So Najd implies the eastern region of Saudi Arabia
alongwith its extension towards east in Iraq and Iran also, both raised
lands of east from where sun rises, so far the earthquakes, trials and
tribulations are concerned.

23

Proof: There are some Aalims and Ulemas who are in habit of playing hide and
seek game. They hide some verses of Quran/Hadith and advertise some selected
portions of Quran/Hadith which is out of context to fulfill their selfish-whimsical
thoughts and desire. Sometime they hide important hadith and start advertising
those hadith which are out of context with respect to some particular issue.
Impartially and Honestly if we are to get into the actual meaning and depth of any
issue we must consider all associated hadith and verses in that regard so that we
can get a clear and transparent impartial picture of any topic.
Here also this is the only hadith which has been advertised black and white in spite
of the fact that there are so many hadith which is very necessary to look into to
get the clear concept. Lets check these hadith now:
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith (Hadith 4.499)
I saw Allah's Apostle pointing towards the east saying, "Lo! Afflictions will
verily emerge hence; afflictions will verily emerge hence where the (side of
the head of) Satan appears."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith (Hadith 9.213)

I heard Allah's Apostle while he was facing the East, saying, "Verily!
Afflictions are there, from where the side of the head of Satan comes out."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith (Hadith 7.217)

I heard Allah's Apostle on the pulpit saying, "Verily, afflictions (will start)

25

Muslim Book 041, Hadith Number 6938.

Ibn 'Umar reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying (in a state) that he had turned his face towards the east: Behold, turmoil

Ibn 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood by the
door (of the apartment of) gafsa and, pointing towards the east, he said: The
turmoil would appear from this side, viz. where the horns of Satan would appear,
and he uttered these words twice or thrice and Ubaidullah b. Sa'ld in his narration
said. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had been standing by the
door of 'Aisha.
Muslim Book 041, Hadith Number 6940.
Salim b. Abdullah reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him), while turning his face towards the east, said: The
turmoil would appear from this side; verily, the turmoil would appear from this
side; verily, the turmoil. would appear from this side-the side where appear the
horns of Satan.

east.
Muslim Book 041, Hadith Number 6942.
26

Ibn Umar reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying
while pointing his hands towards the east: The turmoil would appear from this
side; verily, the turmoil would appear from this side (he repeated it thrice) where
appear the horns of Satan.
Muslim Book 041, Hadith Number 6943.
Ibn Fudail reported on the authority of his father that he heard Salim b. 'Abdullah
b. 'Umar as saying: O people of Iraq, how strange it is that you ask about
the minor sins but commit major sins? I heard from my father 'Abdullah
b. 'Umar, narrating that he heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) as saying while pointing his hand towards the east: Verily. the
turmoil would come from this side, from where appear the horns of
Satan and you would strike the necks of one another

So Najd implies the eastern region of Saudi Arabia alongwith its extension
towards east in Iraq and Iran also, so far the earthquakes, trails and
tribulations are comcerned, both raised lands of east from where sun
rises, where there will be unbelief and Muslims killings each
other like these Murder of Companions, Battle of Karb ala, Killing of prophets
(
grandchildren etc. Later on deviation of the people from the path of Sunah and
introduction of new things in Islam like saint worship, tombs worship and a new
concept of Islam known as Sufism. Division of Muslims into two major sects
called Sunni and Shia etc and recently a Shia _ Sunni war which lasted for
8 years; casualties written before )

Why Najd implies the eastern region of Saudi Arabia along with its
extension towards east in Iraq and Iran also, so far the earthquakes, trials
and tribulations are concerned. Once again these hadith should be looked into
honestly:
27

Saalim bin Abdullaah bin Umar said: O people of Iraaq, how strange is it that
you ask about the minor sins but commit the major sins? [The killing of alHusayn]
I heard my father, Abdullaah bin Umar narrating that he heard the Messenger of
Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, saying while pointing his hand to the east:
"Indeed the turmoil would come from this side, from where appear the horns of
Satan and you would strike the necks of one another..." (Muslim)

The hadeeth of ibn Umar Reported by Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilya (6/133), "O Allaah
bestow your blessings on our Madeenah, and bestow your blessings on
our Mecca, and bestow your blessings on our Shaam, and bestow your
blessings on our Yemen, and bestow your blessings in our measuring (fee
saa'inaa wa muddinaa)." A person said, " O Messenger of Allaah and in our
Iraaq" and so he turned away from him and said, "there will occur
earthquakes, trials and tribulations and there will appear the horn of
Satan."

The hadeeth of ibn Abbaas reported by at-Tabaraanee in 'al-Kabeer' that the

Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, supplicated and said, "O Allaah bestow
your blessings on our Shaam and Yemen." A person from amongst the people
said, "O Prophet of Allaah and Iraaq?" He said, "indeed there is the Horn of
Satan, and the trials and tribulations will come like mounting waves, and
indeed harshness/coarseness is in the east."

Ibn Hajr said: "al-Khattaabee said: 'the najd in the direction of the east, and for
the one who is in Madeenah then his Najd would be the desert of Iraaq and it's
regions [baadiya al-Iraaq wa Nawaaheehaa] for this is to the east of the People of
Madeenah. The basic meaning of Najd is that which is raised/elevated from the
earth in contravention to al-Gawr for that is what is lower than it. Tihaamah [the

28

coastal plain along the south-western and southern shores of the Arabian
Peninsula] is entirely al-Gawr and Mecca is in Tihaamah.'"

Ibn Hajr continues, "by this [saying of al-Khattaabee] the weakness of the saying
of ad-Daawodee is understood that 'Najd is in the direction of Iraaq' [min Naahiya
al-Iraaq] for he suggests that Najd is a specific place. This is not the case, rather
everything that is elevated with respect to what adjoins it is called
Najd and the lower area called Gawr." [Fath al-Baaree 13/58-59]
Mubaarakfooree endorses these words in his commentary to Sunan at-

Al-

Tirmidhee (10/314 no.4212)

I have tried my best to present this location in terms of geography as follows:

GENERAL PATHWAY OF SUN -THE BRIGHT AREA

ENLARGE THE PIC AND CHECK THE ACTUAL REGION OF FITNAH IN TERMS OF GEOGRAPHY.

Earthquakes:
Earthquake in Iraq: Although there are no devastating earthquakes in Iraq but
earthquakes are the latest in a swarm of about six earthquakes that have erupted
along the convergent plate boundaries between the Arabian and Eurasian plate.
The epicenter of the earthquakes is located on the convergent boundary where the
two tectonic plates are colliding along the border of Iraq and Iran in whats known
as the Alpide Belt. Three moderate earthquakes have erupted along the epicenter
in less than 20 hours. Most of the volcanoes in Iran lie in the north and south of
the country, so this region outside the Tigris River is not considered a high-risk
region for magma intrusion. (wordpress.com)
Latest earthquakes in Iraq : An earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale
hit areas in Nineveh province without causing damages, a source from Iraqi
Meteorological Organization and Seismology in Nineveh Province revealed on
Thursday. An earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit areas northern
Mosul from Sinjar District to Zamar neighborhood, the source told Alsumaria news
31

noting that the epicenter of the earthquake that lasted 4 seconds was located
southeastern Turkey. Competent authorities counted no human or material losses
so far, the source revealed on the condition of anonymity. A source in Nineveh
civil defense had revealed, on May 21, that an earthquake measuring 4 on the
Richter scale hit different areas Northwestern Mosul.
In 12.08.2008, an earthquake hit southern Iraq, centered near the Iranian border
and strongly felt in the city of Amarah about 40 miles to the west. The Voice of
Iraq news agency said it measured about 5.1, but the U.S. Geological Survey put
it at 5.7, not huge but big enough to frighten people unaccustomed to such things.
Iraq's last earthquake came in February, when a series of small but frightening
quakes hit the city of Kut, about 100 miles southeast of Baghdad.

Saudi Arabia since long

ALL THESE ONECE AGAIN PROVES THAT IRAQ AND IRAN IS DIFFERENT FROM SAUDI
ARABIA SO FAR EARTHQUAKES, TRAILS AND TRIBULATIONS ARE CONCERNED. SO WE
CAN HONESTLY AND EASILY DERIEVE THAT Najd implies the eastern region of Saudi

Arabia alongwith its extension towards east in Iraq and Iran also, both raised lands of
east from where sun rises, so far the earthquakes, trials and tribulations are
comcerned..
NEXT: As per the Islamic history which everyone agrees that Wahhabi was from the
tribe of Banu-Thamim. Although he was Najdi his tribe was certified by prophet as
Non-Corruptible because they will maintain and save faith till one of the greatest
32

Fitnah DAJJAL appears from EAST, which will enable them to recognize Dajjal one
of the greatest trail/Fitnah, who will emerge from Khurasan the eastern province
of Iran, east of Saudi Najd as per the hadith of Prophet. (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
(Hadith 1453) Amr ibn Hurayth quoted AbuBakr asSiddiq as saying that Allah's
Messenger (peace be upon him) told them theDajjal would come forth from a land
in the East called Khurasan, followed by people whose faces resembled shields
covered with skin.) Sahih Muslim Hadith (Hadith 1374) Allah's Apostle (peace
be upon him) said: The Dajjal would be followed by seventy thousand Jews of
Isfahan wearing Persian shawls.(Once again East of Najd in Iran)

Bukhari, reported by Abu Hurayra (RA): "I have loved the people of the tribe of
Bani Tameem, ever since I heard three things the Messenger of Allaah , sallallaahu
alayhi wa sallam, said about them. I heard him saying, 'these people (of the
tribe of Bani Tameem) would stand firm against the Dajjaal.' When the
Saddaqat from that tribe came, the Messenger of Allaah , sallallaahu alayhi wa
sallam, said, "these are the Saddaqat (charitable gifts) of our folk." Aa'ishah
had a slave girl from that tribe, and the Prophet , sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said
to Aa'ishah, 'manumit her as she is a descendant of Ismaa'eel, alayhis salaam.'"

"Do not say of Bani Tameem anything but good, for indeed they are the severest
of people in attacking the Dajjaal." Ahmed

So it is once agiain proved that Banu Tamim of Najd or the Najdis hold sword only
to implement the correct version of Islam as they did previously when there
was (Murder of Companions, Battle of Karbala, Killing of prophets
grandchildren etc. Later on deviation of the people from the path of Sunah and
introduction of new things in Islam like saint worship, tombs worship and a new
concept of Islam known as Sufism. Division of Muslims into many minor & two
major sects called Sunni and Shia etc) after the death of prophet. Once again they

will fight against the greatest of the Fitnah Ad-dajjal when it will appear because
33

they only hold the principles of Quran and Sunnah only, enabling them to recognize
Dajjal when whole of the population of earth will be under its control.

While going through the history of Wahhabs I found that they were peace lovers
until people complied to the terms of Quran and prophetic ways only and that IS
WHAT OUR Prophet too demanded. In this regard there are lots of hadith also.
Like this : Hold fast the rope of Allah and my ways and the way of companions, In
the tank of Kauther there will be Aalims and Ulemas who will be stopped from
drinking as they introduced new things into the religion etc . Any Honest man can
easily say judge the situation of Arabia after prophets death which was full of
innovations and corruptions. Wahhabis only tried to implement the correct version
of Quran and Sunnah only. Najd during early days was a troubled land due to its
nomadic inhabitants. Although they converted to Islam but after the death of
prophet they rebelled against Caliph Abu Bakr. They refused to pay ZAKAT also.
Later on they were involved into UN Islamic INNOVATIONS and creation of SECTS
which gave birth to Sufism which is one of the complete deviated branch of Muslim.
Great tribulation indeed.

It is one of the conspiracy theories to destroy the real essence of Islam which lies
within Quran and prophets ways only brought by the Wahhabis. The Christians
and Jews follow their priests like Gods commandments. It is Islam which taught
to hold the rope of Allah and the prophets way along with the companions to
become successful. Non-Muslims are well aware that Muslims will not be divided
into sects until they follow these things. So, DIVIDE AND RULE. Insert the views
of Aalims and Ulemas in to the religion superseding the rules and principles already
clearly available into quran and hadiths. Thats it. Prophets saying came true that
you will follow Jews and Christians so much that if they will enter the hole of
dreadful poisonous snake, you people will also enter likewise and ultimately get
destroyed. IT HAS OCCURRED.

Now we worship imams, we take the help of

34

intermediaries to reach Allah, we need supernatural know kedges to get rid of

diseases, we need the help of so called supernatural knowledge to get rid of Jinn
(as they say), we need music to purify our soul in form of Sufism, we need solid
burials to make our dead alive, we need to worship graves and tombs to get near
to Allah. What are these? All these are present in Jews and Christians previously
and we just simply follow them so much that we have already obtained curse upon
our self like the Christians and Jews by forgetting to follow our jurisprudence in
form of Quran and prophets ways. We have forgotten all and handed over all these
to be manipulated and hijacked by our sectarian Ulemans and Aalaims. This was
the corruption which started during the 1718th century. Muhammad ibn Abdul
Wahhab was well aware of the danger if future. Although he tried to nip the bud
before it flowers but the Satanic powers overcame and now the accursed Satan
has made this corruption fair to such Muslims who spread rubbishes against
Wahhabis in form of whatever these Christians and Jews have wrote and spread in
their books. Many English and Muslim authors have presented Islam in many
irregular ways which has been followed by many Muslim scholars who are pleased
to introduce new things in Islam like Goldziher, Margoliouth, Syed Amir Ali etc.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MUHAMMAD-IBNABDUL-WAHHAB DID NOT
BROUGHT ANY THING NEW IN ISLAM OR UPDATED VERSION OF ISLAM, RATHER
HE ONLY REVIVED THE POPHETS VERSION OF ISLAM WHICH WERE
CHANGED DUE TO INNOVATION & CORRUPTION WHERE MANY ARE
INTENTIONALLY CONFUSED. BE HONEST

MAY ALLAH SAVE ALL MUSLIMS FROM ENTERING INTO THE DESTRUCTIVE SECTS
AND CATEGORIES
