Sultan Al-Amiri, as one of the prominent theorists of contemporary Wahhabism, at the beginning of his book, "Al-Maslak al-Rashid", has tried to put a new cover of neo-Wahhabism to attract people on Wahabism. But practically, this attempt has failed, because there are so many deep contradictions between Wahhabi principles and the principles of Quran and Islam that turned this book to be contradictory mass, such as contradiction in Divine Monotheism, contradictions in the definition of worship, wrong interpretation from the concept of worship. These are the most important problems in the book, al-Maslak al-Rashid.

The issue of God's attributes and its correct interpretation is one of the topics that have been discussed a lot. The movement of Wahhabism accuses Islamic sects of deviating from true understanding of divine attributes. The Wahhabism as a deviant sect from has tried to impose their point of view to other Islamic sects. To do this, they have tried to ascribe their views to great Salaf scholars for bestowing legitimacy. one of these famous scholars is Malik Bin Anas, he has a famous quotation: "the God's sitting on the crown is known but its quality is unknown". The Wahhabi point of view on God's attributes agree with Anas, but care must be taken that according to the finding of this essay the views of Malik bin Anas in many cases conflict with the views of Wahhabists.

The Wahhabists divided the appealing for intercession in two kinds: what can only God can do it, and what the humans can do, providing their own peculiar interpretation from the concept of intercession. They maintain that any kind of seeking help from the Holy prophet or religious leaders will lead to polytheism and Shirk. What has caused the Wahhabis to deviate from the true path is the following: 1- they do not pay attention to the intention of doer of the actions. 2- some actions that the Wahhabi label as "only things that God can do it" is not true because this interpretation has no root in the Holy Quran, tradition of the Holy prophet or the disciples of the Holy prophet.

With an extremist view, Wahhabists has attacked Muslims because of the vows they take. In this regard, they have relied on several narrations and Hadiths. In this research, the author has tried to firstly criticize the narratives argued by Wahhabists; Because the meaning of none of them can prove the impermissibility of such vows; Secondly, the author will mention some Quranic verses and narratives as evidence. furthermore, the finding of this essay shows that the fatwas of Muslim jurists and Muslim traditions will prove the permissibility of Muslim vows.

Appealing to the righteous and saint guys is one of the deep-rooted issues of belief in Islamic culture, but Ibn Taymiyyah and his followers have doubted on it. Rashid Reza is one of those who criticized this issue, considering the mediation between man and the creator in any way to be contrary to monotheism. Therefore, he rejected appealing to saints many times in his famous book, Tafsir al-Manar. In order to prove his point of view, he mentioned the following: Supplication and appealing to the saints is against to purity in worshiping, monotheism and so on. The present essay with a critical method and relying on verses and traditions has criticized the content of Rashid Reza's arguments. The result is that, contrary to his idea, mediation does not conflict with purity in worshiping; because the intercession to the righteous is not their worshiping at all; because worship is submission to the one whom the worshiper considers to be God. The Holy Qur'an in several verses proves the occult dominion of special people. So, if we reject the supernatural power of Saints, we must also reject these Quranic verses as well.
