Wahabism is found on the belief of right interpretation of the words of the Quran and they don 't accept any bridge between God and his servants. They have an extreme view of following anyone anything else other than the Quran and Prophet Mohammad. They consider praying at any holy shrine and following spiritual leaders polytheistic.
