The chief objective of the ‘Wahabi movement’ was to purify Islam. This movement was founded by Mohammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the 18th century in Arabia. Wahhab believed that Islamic practices had become corrupted and deviated from the true teachings of Islam. Therefore, his movement aimed to return to the original and pure form of Islam as practiced during the time of Prophet Muhammad. The Wahabi movement sought to eradicate what they perceived as innovations and idolatry within Islam, such as the veneration of saints and shrines. They advocated for strict adherence to the Quran and Hadith, rejecting any interpretations or practices that were not explicitly mentioned in these texts. The movement had a significant impact on the political and social landscape of Arabia, and its influence spread to other parts of the Muslim world as well.
