Wahhabism at the Crossroads

Wahhabism at the Crossroads

Author: Ayatullah Nasir Makarim Shirazi

Translator: Mustapha Muhammadi

Published by The Ahlul Bayt World assembly

This book gives a detailed account of the two types of Wahhabis: Extremist hard-line Salafis who regard all Muslims, apart from themselves, as infidels (Kafir) and polytheists (Mushrik), and consider shedding their blood and wealth as admissible. Obduracy in thought, ruthlessness in speech and action and contempt for logical and rational discussions is amongst their most evident characteristics.

And the Moderate and enlightened Wahhabis, who are people of logic, debate and dialogue (Hiwar), and respect other scholars and enter into friendly discussions with other Muslims.

These explain the reasons why Wahabism is at the crossroads.
