Unbosom the Journey of Wahhabism: From Nejd to Pakistan
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: South Asian Studies
Abstract
This paper seeks to explain the rise of Wahhabism in Pakistan and how madrassah education played an important role in turning Pakistan into an Islamic state. Wahhabism was the state religion of Saudi Arabia. Pakistan is a Sunni-majority state. Saudi Arabia used Wahhabism as a tool to counter Shias and Ismailis. According to Wahhabism, Islam is the source of pride, and only those are the followers of Islam who followed the book, namely the Quran, and others are outsiders. General Zia has nurtured the Wahhabi ideology in Pakistan and shared a dream of pan-Islamization.
