Wahhabi (Arabic: الْوَهَابِيَّةُ, romanized: Al-Wahhābīyya) or Wahhabism is a conservative form of Sunni Islam practised in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. It derives its origins in Salafism which aims to imitate the Salaf (three best generations of Muslims) as much as possible.[1] The name 'Wahhabi' or 'Wahhabism' comes from Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab, an 18th century scholar, who popularised a form of Islam that calls for the return to the Qur'an and Hadith as the basis of an Islamic way of life.[2]
Some definitions or uses of the term Wahhabi Islam include:
- "a corpus of doctrines, but also a set of attitudes and behaviour". Gilles Kepel.[3]
- "pure Islam that does not deviate from Sharia law in any way and should be called Islam and not Wahhabism". Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz, the governor of the Saudi capital Riyadh.[4]
