Wahhabism is a reformist Islamic movement founded by Ibn Taimiyya (d. 1328) that emphasizes a strict monotheism and rejects practices it deems shirk (associating partners with God). The source discusses Wahhabi criticism of the Burda poem, arguing that certain verses (e.g., 147‑149, 153‑155) exceed permissible veneration of the Prophet. In the 19th century, Wahhabi ideas spread to the Sultanate of Acheh, influencing local debates over the permissibility of the Burda as an amulet.
