All praise is for Allaah alone. May peace and blessings be upon the one after whom there is no other Prophet; may peace and blessings also be upon his family and companions. Introduction For many years and long decades, there has been constant speech and continuous controversy regarding Shaykh Muhammad bin AbdulWahhaab (may Allaah have mercy upon him) and also regarding his Dawah. [People are either] supporters or critics; prosecutors or defenders. It is interesting to note that the speech of those who oppose the Shaykh [1] by making various accusations against him, is void of any evidence. So they do not have any supporting proofs from his speech nor possess anything to cling on to from his books. They only have mere accusations that have been made by the earlier people and then repeated by the later followers. I believe that any just person will acknowledge that the most accurate way to know the reality of someone is to return back to the specific individual [being spoken about] and to take from the original source. The books of the Shaykh are present and his speech has been preserved. By investigating this, the truth or lack - of what is propagated regarding him can be established. As for mere accusations that are void of any evidences then they are like a mirage which has no reality to it. These following pages contain a small number of sentences taken from the speech of Shaykh Muhammad bin AbdulWahhaab; they have been accurately transmitted from trusted and authentic books in which his speech is contained. I have only compiled and arranged these sentences. They contain answers from the Shaykh himself regarding the main accusations that were made against him by those who oppose him. He clearly states the opposite of what they accuse him of, and I am certain that his answers will by the guidance of Allaah be sufficient in clarifying the truth for the one who truly seeks it. As for the enemies of the Shaykh and the enemies of his Dawah, those who seek to spread false statements and forged lies, then I say to them: be gentle upon yourselves for indeed the truth is clear and the religion of Allaah will be victorious. The sun that shines high cannot be blocked out by hands. Here is the speech of Shaykh Ibn AbdilWahhaab, it disproves those claims and it falsifies the accusations. If you have anything from his speech which is contrary to this then make it apparent and do not conceal it. If you will not do this and you cannot then I admonish you with one matter: that you stand in front of Allaah, free from any desires or bias and you ask Him in all sincerity, to show the truth and guide you to it. Reflect upon the speech of this man (Muhammad bin AbdulWahhaab): did he bring something other than the speech of Allaah and the speech of His Messenger (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam)?? Then think once again: is there any other way to safety except to proclaim (or utter) a truthful statement and testify to and accept the truth?? If the truth becomes clear to you, then come to your senses and return to the truth. This is better than being persistent upon falsehood; and to Allaah all things return.
