WHAT DOES WAHHABI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Wahhabi movement

Wahhabism is a radical religious movement or offshoot branch of Islam [1][2] variously described as "orthodox", "ultraconservative",[3] "austere", "fundamentalist", "puritanical"[4], [5] an Islamic "reform movement" to restore "pure monotheistic worship",[6] or an "extremist pseudo-Sunni movement".[7] It aspires to return to the earliest fundamental Islamic sources of the Quran and Hadith, with inspiration from the teachings of Medieval theologian Ibn Taymiyyah and early jurist Ahmad ibn Hanbal.[8] In July of 2013, European Parliament identified the Wahhabi movement as the source of global terrorism and a threat to traditional and diverse Muslim cultures of the whole world.[9] The majority of the world's Wahhabis are from Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia.[10] 22.9% of all Saudis are Wahhabis.[10] 46.87% of Qataris[10] and 44.8% of Emiratis are Wahhabis.[10] 5.7% of Bahrainis are Wahhabis and 2.17% of Kuwaitis are Wahhabis.[10] Initially, Wahhabism was a revivalist movement instigated by an eighteenth century theologian, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab from Najd, Saudi Arabia,[11] who was opposed by his own father and brother for his non-traditional interpretation of Islam.
