Studying the views of different Wahhabi groups on Shi’ism at Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution

Wahhabism is a sect founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab. The teaching of Wahhabism is based on the Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, but during the first Gulf War the king of Saudi at that time, king Fahad allowed for the non-Muslims to establish military bases in a Muslim country and invade to Iraq. This has caused a controversy among the Wahhabi scholars. Some of them were pro and some of them were con. Three branches emerged within Wahhabism: Jami, Sourouri and Albani. This divergence caused that some think that some of the Wahhabi sects pose no threat to Iran. In this research, in a descriptive – analytic method the view of different Wahhabi groups on Iran is discussed in five chapters.  Some of the results are as the following: the Jami current has the most extremist view on Islamic republic of Iran, since it is supported by government. The Albani current which is neutral toward the government, also has extremist tendencies toward Iran. But the Surury current which is anti-government and affected by Muslim brotherhood organization has a mild tendency on Iran’s case. Although the Surury current in some cases has criticized Iran severely. We can say that despite the differences, there are some common grounds between the Wahhabi groups. They diverge on the subject of total obedience of ruler, but, since all of them take the Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab’s path, almost all of them believe that the Shia are infidels. Bearing a grudge toward the Islamic revolution in Iran, the Wahhabi maintains that Imam Khomeini is infidel and their hatred toward the Shia is increased after the Islamic revolution.
