Our Duty Toward the Two Imams, Muhammad ibn Sa'ud and Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. What is our position now, as we, thanks be to Allah, enjoy the shade of this call and its results, we and our sons, our fathers, and our grandfathers, for three hundred years? One of us is born upon tawhid (the oneness of Allah), grows up upon tawhid, and dies upon tawhid because of these two great men, Imam Muhammad ibn Sa'ud and Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. What is our duty toward these two men, may Allah keep you safe?
Answer:
Our duty is to make du'a' (supplication) for them, to make du'a' for them with mercy, forgiveness, and deliverance from the Fire. And we should increase our du'a' for them for what they offered in the way of calling to Allah. This call took root in this land and continued, and Allah made it beneficial to nations and generations, not only in this land, but in many lands of the Muslims. I witnessed with my own eyes, when I traveled to West Africa, many peoples who were influenced by this call and accepted it. By Allah, I saw them buying and selling, and when the time for prayer came, they turned to prayer and prayed in their places of buying and selling, in groups and groups, which pleased every Muslim. This is the result of sincerity and the result of truthfulness with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.

May Allah reward you,
