Review and critique of Wahhabism’s perspective on the prophets

In this research, the Wahhabi view of the prophets was examined and criticized based on the verses of the Qur’an and the narrations mentioned in Sunni sources. The topics of this thesis were organized in a descriptive-analytical manner using Wahhabi theological sources and researches in this field.

Salafism and Wahhabism are are branches branch movements within Sunni with various tendencies that place great emphasis on narration. This current of thought believes that the understanding of the righteous predecessors of the first three centuries AH is better and closer to the truth than all other understandings, especially rationalists and intuitionists, and other understandings are devoid of purity.

Wahhabism is a follower of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, and in fact, a follower of Ibn Taymiyyah, and they have views contrary to the whole of the Muslim ummah. The Wahhabis deny the virtues of the prophets such as infallibility, the knowledge of the unseen and intercession and other virtues that are a divine blessing to them, and do not consider them sacred and degrade them to the level of ordinary human beings. By misinterpreting the Qur’an and hadiths and by imposing their extremist beliefs, they have introduced Islam as a religion of violence in the world and have caused discord among the Muslim ummah.

This thesis aimed to evaluate their opinions about the prophets and address some of their deviations and criticize it, so that the Muslim Ummah will be informed of the conspiracies and temptations of this minority, and perhaps their deceived ones will also stop excommunicating Muslims, turn to the truth, and leave the division and insult to the divine prophets and the Muslims
