MUHAMMAD IBN ‘ABD AL-WAHHÂB DAN GERAKAN WAHABI

In the Islamic world, in the middle age, the ideas on reformation and the efforts of purification of akîdah had emerged. This was a reaction against the extant political condition and tauhid comprehension of Muslims. In Arab, a chief figure, Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhâb who possessed a great concern towards the matter of akîdah purification of Muslims and Islamic reformation, emerged. The efforts of al-Wahhâb finally developed into a movement called the Wahabiyyah Movement. The main target of this movement was to purify Muslims’ akîdah that had been mixed with heretics.
