Ignorant and narrow Wahabi doctrine destroying true Islamic spirituality.
Bismi'llah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim...for the sake of Prophet Muhammad saws and Sheikh Nazim may Allah protect his secret.
Hadith: (authenticated saying of the Prophet pbuh):
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet (Peace be upon him) as saying: "Oh Allah, bless us in our Syria; O Allah, bless us in our Yemen." Those present said: "And in our Najd, O Messenger of Allah!" But he said, "O Allah, bless us in our Syria; O Allah, bless us in our Yemen." Those present said, "And in our Najd, O Messenger of Allah!" Ibn Umar said that he thought that he said on the third occasion: "Earthquakes and fitnah are there, and there shall arise the horn of ash-Shaytaan." [Sahih al-Bukhari].
" When Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab began preaching his revivalist brand of Islam amongst the Bedouins of the Najd during the 18th century, his ideas were dismissed in the centers of Islamic learning such as al-Azhar as simplistic and erroneous to the point of heresy." (Quoted from number three below.)
In any discussion about Islam in the modern world it is very important and necessary to understand something about the apalling influence that the bogus and ignorant doctrinal misinterpretations of Ibn Al Wahab have had on the Islamic world and how they were espoused by the Saudi regime and promulgated to all parts of the globe using oil money.
I have been trying to find some useful and clear accounts of what happened and how. There is an awful lot of opinion, argument and confusion out there on the net, but the following are the best I have found so far.
1): Muslim blog: Interview with Sheikh Hisham Kabbani. (Khalifa for Sheikh Nazim in America.) here
2): Islamic site from Italy: Explanation and negation of Wahhabi views on intercession. here
3): Non Muslim blog: Explanation of Wahhabi / Salafi differences and mingling of ideologies in Saudi. here or here

Assalamu'alaikom brother
Great blog!
Just wanted to mention that it wouldnt be advisable to put a link of the "Islamic Site from Italy". They are known as Ahbahsh and make derogotary comments on Mawlana Shaykh Nazim on their website.
May the Haqq be with you always!
