Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Wahhabism Seeking Benediction And Cure From The Signs And Traces Of Awliya The Wahhabis reckon tabarruk (seeking benediction) towards the traces of awliya to be polytheism and label the one who kisses the altar and pulpit of the Holy Prophet (s) as polytheist even though in doing that he doesn’t believe in any kind of godliness in it.
