NAMES THAT HAVE BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THE WAHHAABIYYS

Al-Mushabbihah, “the people who make similarities”, is among the deviant factions about which the Prophet (3alayhi-s-Salaam) warned. They are religiously defined as the people who liken; resemble Allaah to His creations. The so-called Salafiyys, “the followers of the Salafiyy Da3wah”, as they call themselves, are a branch of Al-Mushabbihah, as we will prove, if Allaah willed.
Rather than being Salafiyy (followers of the scholars of the first 300 years), they are talafiyy (destructive). Do not call them Salafiyy, call them imposters. Call them “so-called Salafiyys”, or “pseudo (fake) Salafiyys”. Put “Salafiyy” in quotation marks to show that you do not consider them to be Salafiyy. Call them The Wahhaabiyyah, the name given to them by the scholars when they first deviated more than 200 years ago from the land of Najd, following their master, Muhammad Ibn 3Abdil-Wahhaab. If Allaah willed, we will also speak about the true Salaf.
They also call themselves Ahlu-l-Haqq (the People of the Truth) and Ahlu-l-Hadiyth (the People of [the science of] Hadiyth). When calling themselves Ahlu-l-Hadiyth, they truly mean that they (unrightfully) make ijtihaad from the hadiyths- bypassing what the mujtahids said. They have also been called Laa Mathhabiyyah (those who do not claim any school of fiqh), and Ghayru-l-Muqallidiyn (those who do not follow [QUALIFIED] scholarship). Truly, they are Ahlu-l-Kibr (the People of Arrogance), Ahlu-d-Dalaalah (the people of misguidance), Al-Mushabbihah (the people who liken Allaah to His creations), Al-Mujassimah (those who believe that Allaah has a body), Al-Hashwiyyah (people who speak nonsense) . Many people have fallen into their snare. Except for their kufr, they talk and dress like Muslims. However, lend them an ear, and surely they will throw an unfortunate person into the black flames of Jahannam. This does not include those who are unaware of the bad belief of the Wahhaabiyys, but may affiliate themselves with the so-called Salafiyys. The Wahhaabiyys are as The Prophet (3alayhi-s-Salaam) said:
أناسٌ من جلدتنا يتكلمون بِألسنتنا تسمع منهم و تنكر دعاة على أبواب جهنم مَن استمع إليهم قذفوه فيها
“There are people who look like us and talk with our talk. You would hear their message and reject. They are preachers at the gates of Hell. Whoever listens to them, they will throw him in it,” (Al-Bukhaariyy).
