Muḥammad b.'Abd al‐Wahhāb

Japanese: ムハンマド･ブン･アブド･アルワッハーブ（英語表記）Muḥammad b.‘Abd al‐Wahhāb

1703‐91
A religious leader in the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula. He was from the Tamim tribe and was born in Uyayna in the Najd region. After completing his studies in Medina, he traveled for many years to study Islam in Iraq, Syria, and Iran. After returning home, he began to preach a strict restorationist doctrine that emphasized the oneness of God, based only on the Quran and Sunnah, at least by 1740. His ideas were derived from those of Ibn Hanbal and are said to have been greatly influenced by those of Ibn Taymiyya. He was driven out of his homeland in 1744 or a few years later, but was protected by the House of Saud, based in Dar'iyya in Najd, and his ideas spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula as the House of Saud expanded its influence.

1703‐91
アラビア半島ナジュド地方の宗教家。タミーム部族出身。ナジュド地方ウヤイナの生れ。メディナでイスラム学を修めた後，多年にわたってイラク，シリア，イラン各地を学問遍歴した。帰郷後，遅くとも1740年までには，コーランとスンナだけに基づき，神の唯一性を強調する厳格な復古主義的教説の布教を開始した。その思想はイブン･ハンバルの学説の流れを引き，イブン･タイミーヤの学説に大きく影響されているといわれる。1744年あるいはその数年後，故郷を追われたが，ナジュドのダルイーヤに拠点を置くサウード家の保護を得，以後，サウード家の勢力拡張に伴って，彼の思想はアラビア半島に広まっていった。
