Birthplace of Wahhabism

This site is recognized as the symbolic birthplace of Wahhabism, the purist-reformist current of Sunni Islam founded by Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab in the 18th century in the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula. Ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab advocated a strict return to primary Islamic sources, rejecting saint veneration, tomb pilgrimages, and popular religious customs — principles that shaped Saudi Arabia's official religious policy and influenced Sunni movements worldwide.
