  1. wahhabi

    Wahhabi, also known as Wahhabism, is a religious reform movement within Sunni Islam. Founded in the 18th century in what is now Saudi Arabia, it is often associated with the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, a scholar who sought to return Islam to its perceived original principles and to rid the religion of innovations or practices that deviate from the Quran and Hadith. Wahhabism advocates for a strict interpretation of Islamic law and shuns practices considered non-Islamic, including the veneration of saints and visiting shrines. It is considered the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia.
