Information Booster :-

  • Wahabi Movement was founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792), a Saudi Arabian scholar from the Najd region.
  • Wahhabis opposed Sufism, particularly the worship or veneration of saints, as they believed these practices diverted Muslims from the true monotheistic teachings of Islam.
  • Wahhabis promoted the idea of Jihad (struggle or effort) as a means of defending Islam and purging it of un-Islamic practices. This also led to the movement being involved in military campaigns, especially in Arabia and India.
