Effect of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah on the da’wah of Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab The call of Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab in the twelfth century AH was a continuation of the call of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah which appeared in the seventh and eighth centuries AH. The Imam was influenced by it because it was in agreement with the basic principles of Islam with regard to beliefs and rulings. These principles included the following: 1- Relying on the Holy Qur’aan and the saheeh Sunnah as the primary sources of legislation 2- Keenness to adhere to the way of the righteous salaf, namely the Sahaabah, Taabi’een, the four imams and those who followed them. 3- Calling people to Tawheed and rejection of shirk. 4- Affirming that which Allaah has affirmed for Himself and denying that which He has denied for Himself with regard to the divine names and attributes. 5- Rejection of fanaticism in following imams and calling for adherence to the truth based on evidence. 6- Promotion of the Sunnah and fighting innovation.
