Wahhabism emerged as a reaction against what was seen as the corruption of Islam by Sufi practices and other innovations. Wahhabi scholars believed that the Qur'an and the traditions concerning Muhammad were the only legitimate sources of religious authority, and that Muslims needed to reject all other customs and practices. They also saw it as their duty to purify Islam by destroying all the shrines and graves of important figures in Islamic history, which they believed distracted Muslims from the true teachings of the Qur'an. While Wahhabism does emphasize the importance of spreading Islam, it does not advocate converting or killing non-Muslims outside of Arabia.
