Birthplace of Muhammad b. abd al-Wahhab, the founder of Wahhabiyyah Islam. He was born in this oasis town and studied Hanbali Law, which is one of the toughest Islamic Laws. He began preaching for Wahhabiyyah in 1730, and quickly gained a powerful following. His following first took the city of Riyadh (see Riyadh placemark), and later much of the Arabia Peninsula.
