Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Wahhabia Movement: The True Image The Wahhabi and the Khawarij Surprising, there are many similarities between the Wahhabi and the Khawarij which distinguish them from the rest of the Muslim. Some of these common points follow. The Khawarij disagreed with all Muslims by maintaining that whoever commits a cardinal sin is a heretic.

The Wahhabis copied them by equating heresy with committing what they considered to be sins.[^1] The Khawarij decreed that if committing cardinal sins become common in a Muslim land then it deserved to be considered dar harb , literally a land of war and those who live in it forfeit their lives and possessions.

This is also the Wahhabi's verdict on the nation of Islam if they believe that it is permissible to travel to the Prophet's tomb and the shrines of pious men and ask for their intercession with Allah, though they worship only Allah and perform good deeds.

It is clear from the previous two points that the Wahhabis are more disruptive and evil than the Khawarij While the khawarij based their verdict of heresy on deeds that all Muslims agreed on being cardinal sins, the Wahhabis chose acts which are not actually sins but favourable deeds performed by devout early Muslims including the Prophet's . The Wahhabis and the Khawarij are similar in their strict application of religion and their ossified interpretations of its doctrines.

Thus when the Khawarij read the Quranic verse: «Judgment belongs to Allah» they said that whoever allowed resort to settlement is an idolator. 'There is no judgment but Allah's' became their slogan. And though it is indisputable it was misapplied to justify their deviant ways.

This attitude illustrates their ignorance of Islam and rigid thinking since the principle of settlement of dispute through adjudicator or third-party intervention was established by the Holy Quran, the Prophet's Tradition and the deeds of the and early Muslims. It is also supported by common logic. Similarly, the Wahhabis interpreted the following verses: «You alone we worship and You alone we pray for help». [^2] «Who is he that can intercede with Him but by His own permission».

[^3] No intercession shall avail with Him but that which He Himself allow». [^4] To mean that anyone who justifies visiting the Prophet's Mosque or the shrines of pious Muslim and ask for their intercession is an idolator.
