This book contains a basic overview of the monotheistic creed of Salafism and how it does not differ from the creed of any of the former Prophets or Messengers. It outlines the fundamental principles of the Salafee methodology, demonstrating how it is in fact the path which has been ordained to be followed in the Qur'aan. Having kept in mind that many readers might be new to the topic of Islaam, I have also made every effort to explain some of the issues of contention at hand in an uncomplicated manner. Consequently, footnotes have been added to make the book more understandable for all. The footnotes follow the method used by Muslim scholars throughout the ages, which gives the book a different feel.
This book contains a refutation of some of the claims that are made about "Wahhaabees" from various communities of people. I have concentrated on disproving the claim that al-Qaa'idah is a Salafee group, instead showing how they are a modem offshoot of one of the earliest and most dangerous of astray sects in Islaam, the Khawaarij. Most importantly, I have attempted to remove the bias of the critics who have cast an illusory shadow over the splendour of Islaam and the sacred Salafee methodology.
It is my sincere hope that this book will be a source of illumination for those who are seeking to avoid uncertainty and misinformation, and that it be a means of eliminating many misunderstandings which have arisen, particularly following the events of September 11.
The 'Wahhabi' Myth, dispelling prevalent fallacies and the fictitious link with Ibn Laden. Written by Haneef James Oliver.
