The Wahabis - a brief history

The Wahabis, also known as Deobandis or Nasbis in India and Pakistan, follow Abu Sufyan, Muaweyah and Yazeed. All three were the biggest enemies of Islam. While Abu Sufyan spent all his life leading the pagans of Mecca in battles against prophet Muhammad (saww), his cursed son Muaweyah spent most of his life fighting Imam Ali (AS), the rightful caliph according to both Shia and Sunni belief.

Realising that he would not be able to stand against the prophet of God, Abu Sufyan pretended to embrace Islam on the day Mecca fell to Muslims and the prophet removed all the idols from the Holy Ka'ba. The holy prophet forgave all who asked for forgiveness but instead of showing gratitude, Abu Sufyan and his filthy tribe, Banu Umayya, started plotting against Islam.

The Umayyads had been rivals of the Hashmiites, the prophet's tribe for centuries. They could not accept the supremecy God had given to the Hasmiites by sending his messenger from within this tribe. As soon as Imam Ali (AS), the prophet's cousin and son in law, on strong public demand accepted the office of Calpih , Muaweya bin Abu Sufyan's hatred for the prophet's family forced him to rise against the rightful leader of the faithful.

After Imam Ali was martyred, the elder grandson of the prophet, Imam Hasan (AS) was selected as calpih by the Muslims. Muaweyah meanwhile had built his own empire in Syria. Imam Hasan (AS) was also martyred.
