Ibn Taymiyya had been controversial in his time because he held that some self-declared Muslims (such as the Mongol conquerors of the Abbasid caliphate) were in fact unbelievers and that orthodox Muslims could conduct violent jihad against them.

Their name was because the rulers were descended from Fatima, the daughter of Mohammed’s and his first wife Khadija.
Though ‘Abd al-Rahman offered 100 camels laden with clothing and 10,000 dinars to marry Fatima, and ‘Uthman offered the same, Mohammed married her off to a poor man, ‘Ali bin Abi/Abu Talib.

He and his supporters took over what is now Saudi Arabia, where Wahhabism remains the dominant school of religious thought.
