پInvestigating the Dimensions of Monotheism among Wahhabism and Shia in the Context of the Quranic Thoughts of Allameh Javadi Amoli

Abstract

In most of the works that are devoted to the criticism of Wahhabism, those acts of Muslims which are considered as examples of polytheism according to Wahhabis have been examined. Although the criticisms raised in this way show the wrong image of Wahhabis about the beliefs of other Muslims, what is necessary is to criticize the fundamentals of Wahhabi thought. Since the main axes of Wahhabi thinking are: Tawheed al-uloohiyyah (oneness of divinity, which is oneness of worship) and Tawheed ar-ruboobiyyah (oneness of divine Lordship) and the definition of worship, therefore, criticizing their approach in these cases is a priority. In the works of Allameh Javadi Amoli, attention has been paid to the criticism of the principles of the Wahhabi approach, which is discussed in this article. According to this research, Wahhabism in explaining Tawheed al-uloohiyyah and Tawheed ar-ruboobiyyah, criteria and the border between divine monotheism and divine polytheism, definition of worship, connection between Tawheed al-uloohiyyah and Tawheed ar-ruboobiyyah, and disregarding the condition of independence, has deviations that make their intellectual system non-monotheistic.
