Most people, and most Muslims, have no idea what Wahhabism or Fundamentalism are. And yet they are all around. Wahhabism and Fundamentalism are the main influence today in the Muslim World.

This book gives the simplest and clearest explanations of these subjects to be found in English. Fundamentalism is well known to the modern reader, but its real nature is not explained in most books, which can’t see the wood from the trees. Especially Fundamentalism cannot be understood without a clear grasp of Wahhabism, a movement which arose in the 18th Century Arabia. This book explains both, and relates them to each other.

This book explains clearly that both Wahhabism and Fundamentalism are totally wrong, non-Islamic , and lead to a terrible disaster. This little book is a warning to the Muslims, and a call to them to wake up!

The writer of this book believes the True Islam and the True Religion is Sunni Islam of the traditional type. Wahhabism and Fundamentalism seek above all to overthrow Sunni Islam. And so this book is a call to return to, defend and rediscover Islam. Because Wahhabism and Fundamentalism are the main influences in the Muslim World today, we cannot understand or explain them without understanding the Muslim World as a whole. This book, for that reason, provides a comprehensive explanation of the current Islamic World, and its history since the arrival of Western domination two hundred years ago.

This book is for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, but is especially for those who love the Muslims, and love the greatest Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allahu Aliahi wa Sallam) and love Allah Ta’ala.

Islam is the hope for Humanity, and this book is dedicated to the oppressed everywhere.

In his first book on Fundamentalism, Dr. Rizvi outlined the main features and roots of Wahhabism and Fundamentalism. This book follows this up with a look at four case-studies in Wahhabism and Fundamentalism. These are all drawn from the history of the Indian Subcontinent, but in future books, Insha-Allah, Dr. Rizvi will look at Iran, and the Arab World, and elsewhere.

Fundamentalism and Wahhabism are grabs for power, and each of these chapters deals with different attempt to grab power.

Sir Sayyid Ahmed Khan tried to get power by assimilating himself completely with the British and Western Science.

Ahl-I-Hadith kept an upper class elite together, ready to get power by any means.

Tablighi Jamaat tries to provide a mass base, a huge membership, for Wahhabism in general, and is closely linked with dreams of power in Secular India.

Jamaat-I-Islami is a Leninist and Stalinist party, whose history of attempts to get power has been one of comical failure.

This book explains these various bids for power, and shows how these groups were always led to run down traditional Sunni Islam, and the Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allahu Alahi wa Sallam).
