The rulers made a cope with the spiritual institution, permitting gross corruption in return for spiritual orthodoxy.
The ruler of a close-by city, Muhammad ibn Saud, invited ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab to hitch him, and in 1744 a pact was made between the 2. [95] Ibn Saud would defend and propagate the doctrines of the Wahhabi mission, whereas ibn Abdul Wahhab “would support the ruler, supplying him with ‘glory and power'”. Whoever championed his message, ibn Abdul Wahhab promised, “will, by means of it, rule the lands and men“. [22] Ibn Saud would abandon un-Sharia taxation of native harvests, and in return God may compensate him with booty from conquest and sharia compliant taxes that might exceed what he gave up.
