The 'Wahhabi' Myth
Dispelling Prevalent Fallacies
and the Fictitious Link With Bin Laden

by Haneef James Oliver

156 pages, US$16.25 (Can$25.00)

The 'Wahhabi' Myth is a landmark achievement in clarifying many of the gross inaccuracies and outright lies that have been attributed to the belief of the Salafee Muslims. Although some reporters and Western orientalist scholars have been vigilant enough to rebut these widespread fables, most have fallen headfirst into what one discerning reporter called, "the neo-conservative line that the whole conspiracy against America can be traced back to Wahabism and the government of Saudi Arabia." (Justin Raimondo, Behind the Headlines, March 15, 2002)

The author outlines the principles of the Salafee creed in an easy to understand manner. Using many different sources, he carefully presents the arguments of the critics of Salafism and successfully addresses the misconceptions that are contained within these criticisms. Specifically, he addresses the commonly held belief that Usamah bin Laden is a Salafee/"Wahhabi". He compellingly dispels this myth and unveils the sect that has provoked Bin Laden to become the leader of a terrorist movement, something that the media has failed to do yet.

Accordingly, it is expected that The 'Wahhabi' Myth could have a profound effect upon people's understandings of current affairs. This is the book which some renowned major media outlets have been anticipating since September 11 as the long awaited reply of the Salafee Muslims.

From the Sayings of the Trustworthy Scholars Regarding
Mu'aawiyah
ibn Abee Sufyaan

- May Allaah be pleased with him -

Written by the Shaykh and Muhaddith
'Abdul-Muhsin ibn Hammaad Al-'Abbaad

In this book, the Shaykh, the Esteemed Scholar of Al-Madeenah, 'Abdul-Muhsin Al-'Abbaad, clarifies the position of the Companions of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), and then presents a beautiful defense of Mu'aawiyah ibn Abee Sufyaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) based upon the clear and conclusive statements of the scholars of the past. This book closes the door on those who wish to spread division amongst the Muslims by taking sides in issues that some of the Companions differed over, clarifying that it is not from the way of Ahlus-Sunnah to rebuke or blame any one of the Companions, rather they are to be honored and spoken of only in the best terms.

It has been said, "Indeed Mu'aawiyah ibn Abee Sufyaan is a curtain for the Companions of Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), so whoever lifts this curtain will have the audacity to speak about those behind it."

So our noble shaykh, 'Abdul-Muhsin, has set out to defend the honor of Mu'aawiyah, and thus, the honor of the Companions in general, and thus, the honor of the Religion of Islaam itself, may Allaah reward him well for his much-needed writing on this topic.
