  Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Tamimi (1703AD – 1792AD) (Arabic:محمد بن عبد الوهاب التميمى) was an Arab theologian born in the Najd, in present-day Saudi Arabia and the most famous scholar of the movement within Islam known as the Salafi movement.
Qabbani wrote two texts criticizing Ibn 'Abd Al-Wahhab, the Fasl al-Khitab fi Radd Dalalat Ibn Abd al-Wahhab ("the unmistakable judgement in the refutation of the delusions of Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab,") and the Kashf al-Hijab an Wadjh Dalalat Ibn al-Wahhab ("lifting the veil from the face of the delusions of Ibn al-Wahhab,").
To Western observers, the terms "Wahhabism" and "Wahhabi" have become synonymous terms for "Islamic extremism" and "Islamic extremist" due to the events of September 11, 2001, even though the salafi scholars refute this as being done by the salafis, because Osama Bin Laden was actually infulenced by Sayd Qutb, and not the 'Wahhabis'.

The hadîth [of the descent of Allâh] provides evidence that Allâh is in (fî) the heaven, on (`alâ) the Throne, above (fawq) seven heavens, as the Congregation (jamâ`a) said, and this is part of their proof against the Mu`tazila and the Jahmiyya's claim that Allâh is in every place and not on the Throne.
Concerning what Abû `Umar ibn `Abd al-Barr said [in apparent attribution of place, direction, and corporeality to Allâh Most High], both the elite and the general public know the man's position and the scholars' disavowal of if.
