Who started the Wahhabi Movement and Why?

Answer: The Wahhabi Movement in India was an isometric exercise for socio-religious reformation. It was established by Sayyid Ahmad (1786-1831) of Rae Bareli.

 It argued for a booming affirmation of Tauhid (God’s unity), the potency of ijtihad (the right to interpret the Quran further and indeed the Sunnah or to establish a permanent perspective by using parallelism), and the condemnation of bid’at (innovation). It continued operational for half a century. The “Quran and Hadis,” the lineage of Islam, operated as the initiative’s centrepiece. The Wahabi movement aimed to cleanse Islam and bring it back to its original simplicity. The movement had been going on since the 1830s.
