The differences between Real Muslim's and Wahabi's

The differences between Real Muslim's and Wahabi's

A brother asked me a Question as to the differences between real Muslim’s and Wahabi’s. I have decided to reply here. Please share the link to this article with other Brothers and Sisters so that they can be made aware of the Truth.



First of all remember that wahabism was created by the British. The British were unable to topple the ottoman Islamic empire so they recruited people as agents in Arab countries. One of the main misguided beliefs was nationalism in that their recruits or agents started preaching that Arabs were the highest form of Muslim therefore they should not be ruled by Ottomans who were Turkish. This went against the saying of the Prophet sallalahu alaihi wassalam that No white man is better than a black man etc..


Other new beliefs that they introduced were as follows;


1) You should respect the Prophet as a man and elder brother but too much respect for him is forbidden because by respecting Him too much is worshipping him.


Real Muslim's believe that there is no limit to the respect of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wassalam. We are taught from the Hadith that everything was created from the Light of the Holy Prophet sallalahu alaihi wassalam and Allah azzawajal even mentions in the Qur’an about the Holy Prophet sallalahu alaihi wassalam’s status


“And we have exalted your remembrance”


We believe that Respect for the Prophet sallalahu alaihi wassalam is the road to Respect of Allah ta’ala.


2) Wahabi’s believe that the Prophet sallalahu alaihi wassalam is dead and his body has turned to dust and that he cannot help himself let alone anyone else.


We believe that no doubt death comes to every soul even the Prophets. In the case of the Prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wassalam as with other Prophets we are taught that their soul is taken out to fulfil the command of Allah then is placed back in to their bodies. The fact that there is no account of the Prophet’s Janaza being read in any book etc just proves that Prophet Muhammad along with other Prophets etc is alive in the grave.


Allah azzawajal states about the Martyrs (shaheed)


“Do not say about those who are slain in the cause of Allah, that they are dead. Nay, they are alive, but you do not perceive it". (Surat Al-Baqarah 2:154)


If this is the status that shaheeds are given then imagine the status of the Prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wassalam who taught people how to be shaheed.


Also regarding the body turning to dust Real Muslim’s believe that the body of a Prophet does not decay or rot after death.


The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stated the following: “Recite a lot of ‘salawat’ (a prayer in which God is asked to bless the Prophet Muhammad and his descendants) on Fridays. The salawat recited that day are witnessed; angels witness them. Whoever recites a salawat for me, I am informed of it before its recitation finishes.”


Thereupon, I said: “Even after you have died?”


“Yes, he said, even after I have died. For this reason, Allah, the All-Mighty forbade the earth to decay the bodies of the prophets. The Prophets of Allah are always alive, and they are blessed with sustenance.” (Reference see Abu Dawud, salat, 207; Nasai, Jumua 5, 45; Ibn Majah, Janaiz 65; Ahmad b. Hanbal, IV, 8)

4)They believe that Allah ta'ala has a Form and Shape with hands, eyes, feet etc (see previous articles about Wahabi's on this blog for more info)


There are many other differences between Real Muslim’s and wahabi’s too many to mention right now. You should that the main aim of the Wahabi’s is to basically take away the love and respect of the Prophet Sallalahu alaihi wassalam because it is the Love and Respect of the Prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wassalam that binds Muslim’s together and makes them unite!
