Wahhabisme

Wahhabism is a revivalist Islamic movement that originated in 18th-century Arabia and became the official policy of Saudi Arabia, emphasizing a strict interpretation of Sunni Islamic principles. It matters because it has significantly influenced Islamic thought and practice across the Arabian Peninsula and beyond, though it is theologically distinct from other forms of Sunni Islam and remains a subject of comparison and debate among Muslim scholars.
