Bu mezhebin karşıtları Vehhabi adlandırmasını ekolün kurucusu ve fikir babası olan Muhammed b. Abdulvehhab (ö.1792)’a nisbetle yapmışlardır. Fakat İbni Abdulvehhab ve takipçileri kendilerini ‘birleyen’ anlamında ‘muvahhidun’ olarak nitelendirmişlerdir. İbni Abdulvehhab’ın kelâma dair fikir ve yaklaşımları bu hareketin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Vehhabilik ilk önce bid’atlere karşı dînî bir hareket olarak ortaya çıkmış daha sonraları ise siyasi bir amaca bürünmüştür. Ayrıca bu çalışmada bugünkü Suudi Arabistan Krallığı’nın oluşumunda hayati öneme sahip olan Vehhabi ailesi ve Suud hanedanlığının tarihsel ilişkilerine yer verilmektedir.
