Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Muhammad Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab was a Muslim theologian best known as the father of what has come to be labeled the Wahhabi movement. Some details have been pieced together via the work of numerous historians. Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab is generally acknowledged to have been born in 'Uyayna in 1703 and to have been a member of the Arab tribe of Banu Tamim. He was thought to have started studying Islam at an early age, primarily with his father, as he was from a line of scholars of the Hanbali school of jurisprudence. While there is some consensus over these details, there is not a unanimous agreement over the specifics and some minority opinions do exist in regard to his place and date of birth. Seemingly his recognition with the Banu Tamim tribe and Hanbali school of thought is in line with the justification by some scholars of being the inheritor of the teachings of Taqi-Al Din Ibn Taymiyyah
