The Pervasive Trials and an Explanation of the Methodology of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab

Question:
This is a question that asks: Is it possible, Your Eminence the Shaykh, that you mention some of the trials (fitan) to us?

Answer:
The trials are many, and you know them. What is stirring in the arena is what is said and is being said in these places and these doubts that are being spread, and this bad speech about the scholars and students of knowledge, and especially in this country, they label them as Wahhabis.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) was only a caller to Allah, and he did not bring anything from himself that is attributed to him, just as things are attributed to Jahm and the Jahmiyyah, and just as things are attributed to the Mu'tazilah. He was only upon the methodology of the righteous Salaf, calling to Allah with insight, and Allah benefited people through his calling, and praise be to Allah. Among the fruits of his calling is this country to which you come, and Muslims come to it from every direction to learn, to perform Hajj and 'Umrah, and to come for many useful purposes.
This is among the fruits of the calling of this noble Imam (may Allah have mercy on him). Do not attribute the calling to him if it is called the Wahhabi calling. It is only called the Islamic calling or the Muhammadan calling. The calling of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He was only a renewer. Nothing is attributed to him that he invented from himself or brought from himself. Yes.
