(US Admin 2) Excerpt: Ironically, the troopers of Wahhabism do not call themselves Wahhabist; it’s the opponents who have invented this name. On the contrary, they call themselves Muwahhidun, which means ‘Unitarians’. However, the term Wahhabism is derived from its founder, Abdul I-Wahhab. Abdul I-Wahhab’s teachings were in harmony with Hanbali doctrine, preached by Ahmed Ibn Hanbal. Be assured he is not the same Hannibal of the famous TV series “A-Team”, which aired in the 80s. Ahmed Ibn Hanbal was a famous Islamic theologian of the ninth century. Although he did not create a specific legal system, his answers to his students formed a school of thought known as Hanbali. Hanbali is one of the four schools of the Islamic legal system; the other three are Hanafi, Maliki and Shafi’i. Now, don’t get excited; these schools of thought never had any problem among themselves and never fought each other, although fighting has been prescribed by Allah and Muslims often kill each other when a difference in opinion surfaces. With a little variation, these schools of thought are the strings of a violin and play the same music of Islam. Precisely, Hanbali is the purest form of Islam. Whereas, in order to establish hand slashing – throat cutting – women beating Sharia Law, other schools of thought rely on ra’y (personal opinion) and qiyas (analogy); Hanbali strictly depends on the Quran and Hadith. So, Wahhabism, a successor of Hanbali, ought to be the best form of Islam.
