History of Wahhabism
Wahhabism is a conservative branch of Sunni Islam that was founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the 18th century in the Arabian Peninsula. It promotes a strict interpretation of Islamic teachings and calls for a return to the practices of the early Islamic community. Wahhabism has had a significant impact on the political and social landscape of the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia where it is the dominant form of Islam. The ideology has been associated with extremism and has been cited as an influence on terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS. Despite its controversial reputation, Wahhabism continues to shape the beliefs and practices of millions of Muslims around the world.
