Introduction to Explanation of the Aqeedah of Imaam Abdul Wahhaab – Book

The praise is for Allaah, Lord of the worlds, and may the peace and salutations of Allaah be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and upon his Family and all of his Companions.

To proceed: Indeed, the ‘aqeedah of the Muslims in the time of the Companions and the taabi’een was famous and well-known. It was whatever came in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah and whatever the Messenger of Allaah left them upon.

The ‘aqeedah was well-known in the time of the Companions and the taabi’ een and the virtuous generations, the four generations, even though something from disagreement and the emergence of sects entered into the latter part of these generations, such as the Khawaarij,1 the Qadariyyah2 and the Shee’ah.

However, the Religion was strong and Islaam was mighty and the people of evil were concealed and they did not

openly manifest their evil. So when the virtuous generations ended, the evils emerged and the people of misguidance openly proclaimed their misguidance, from the Jahmiyyah,1 the Mu’tazilah, the Baatiniyyah and the Shee’ah and other than them from the misguided sects, such as the Soofiyyah, the grave-worshippers and the false groups.

However, Islaam was also strong during the time of Umayyad state and the Scholars had their striving and their status and they subdued these ideologies. So the heretics were killed in the time of the Umayyad state, just as al-Ja’d lbn Dirham and other than him were killed when their openly proclaimed their heresies.

Then there came the Abbasid state and there was also strength in it. In the beginning of the state there was power and Islaam had prestige and the Scholars had status amongst them and the evil-doers were not able to openly proclaim their evil with freedom.

So when the latter part of the Abbasid state came, it brought about al-Ma’moon al-‘Abbaasee, the son of Haaroon ar-Rasheed who revolted against his brother al-Ameen, killed him and seized control over the rulership. And he was a strong and intelligent man and he was also a Scholar.

However, the people of misguidance entered upon him and he took them as close friends. They came to be from amongst those who were constantly around him, such as Ibn Abee Du’aad and Bishr al-Mareesee. So they made him incline towards their misguidance and their ‘aqeedah. So he was influenced by them. And they beautified for him the translation of foreign books, and they set up a building for translation and they called it Daarul- Hikmah (the place of wisdom) and it was actually a place of misfortune. And they translated the Greek books which contained misguidance and evil. So the misguided beliefs came from this path, when these books were

translated, as was mentioned by Shaykh Taqiyyud- Deen, that when the Greek books were published, the evil increased.

And in the end, they convinced him that the statement of the creation of the Qur’aan was the truth. So he became convinced of that. They took advantage of his leadership, along with his strength and his firmness.

So the people of evil can never be neglected. And the obligation is to keep them far away from the arena, and if this is not done, then they will slip their evil in and weaken the strong along with them.

So al-Ma’moon became convinced of their statement and wanted to convert the people over to the statement that the Qur’aan is created –

and refuge is sought with Allaah. The speech of Allaah (00) is the first source of the Sharee’ah and they wanted to uproot it from the Ummah. So they would say that the Qur’aan is created and that it is not the speech of Allaah. So he became convinced of this opinion.

However, when the Imaams took a stand, and at their forefront was lmaam Ahmad , they stood with a firm position against this deviant ideology and they refused to say that the Qur’aan was created.

So some of them, such as lmaam Ahmad (d.24 lH) were punished, and some of them were killed. However, they remained patient and stood firm in the face of the Mu’tazilah. So Allaah made the Religion firm through them and He made the correct Religion firm through them and defeated the people of evil.

And al-Ma’moon was succeeded by his brother al-Mu’tasim Ibn Haaroon ar-Rasheed, then came al-Waathiq Ibnul-Ma’moon. They took this manhaj and wanted to compel the people upon the statement that the Qur’aan was created. And all of them punished lmaam Ahmad and beat him.

However, he did not give them one word. Rather, he said, ‘The Qur’aan is the speech of Allaah.’ And whenever they spoke to him, he said, ‘Bring to me a proof from the Qur’aan or from the Sunnah for your statement.’ So they would go back to beating him until he lost consciousness.

However, he kept refusing up until they spilt his blood from the beating and he fainted from the severe beatings. This lasted until the time of al-Mutawakkil lbn Haaroon ar-Rasheed came. So Allaah liberated Ahlus-Sunnah and gave victory to the truth and subdued the people of innovation through him. Then al-Mutawakkil was killed, the people of evil assassinated him.1

So the affair did not cease to be a state of weakness up until there came the last of the Abbasid Caliphs and they made the Shee’ah ministers – and they were more wicked than the Jahmiyyah. So lbnul-‘Alqamee became a minister and so did at-Toosee, the helper of disbelief. So they brought on the Mongol Tatars from the east who carried out a military expedition against the Muslim lands, destroyed them and killed the Caliph. They took the Islaamic books and threw them into a river out of trickery.

And they killed hundreds of thousands from the Muslims and they destroyed the lands of the Muslims. And the Muslims eventually subdued them in every country. And in the end, Allaah caused the Tatars to be defeated and there were from amongst them those who accepted Islaam.

So Islaam remained – and the praise is due to Allaah – strong and mighty. And Allaah sent those who would aid it, safeguard it and defend it. There emerged Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah in a dark time. The people were attacted by the sects, such as the Soofiyyah, the ]ahmiyyah, the Mu’tazilah and the grave-worshippers and the Shee’ah. The Islaamic world was living in the midst of waves of fitan (trials, tribulation). And in the aforementioned condition, Shaykhul-Islaam lbn Taymiyyah (d.728H) emerged. He graduated upon the pure books of the Salafus-Saalih, and he studied the books of the misguided deviants and he knew the doubts that

were built from these books. And he set out to call to Allaah and he wrote books and he taught lessons. So he was rejected and imprisoned. However, he did not exclude Jihaad from that: the Jihaad with the sword. So he rushed into the battlefields and he fought with the sword. And he performed Jihaad with the pen and Jihaad with the tongue
