Wahhabism is a conservative and reformist movement within Sunni Islam. It was founded in the 18th century by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab in what is now Saudi Arabia. Wahhabism advocates for a return to what its adherents regard as a pure form of Islam, emphasizing strict monotheism (tawhid) and rejecting practices they consider innovations (bid'ah) that have developed over time. The movement has been closely associated with the Saudi state and has significantly influenced the religious landscape of Saudi Arabia and beyond.
