==Campaign against Wahhabis==
==Campaign against Wahhabis==
In the late 12th century A.H. (18th century), the followers of [[Muhammad b. 'Abd al-Wahhab]] (1111-1207 A.H./ 1699-1792) rioted in [[Arabia]]. They took themselves as Islamic reformists, rejecting the beliefs of many Islamic sects (mostly Shiites). They began to practically attack what they took as anti-religious and polytheistic residues and symbols.

The riot went beyond [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]] in Arabia to [[Karbala]] and [[Najaf]] in Iraq—these two cities were attacked by [[Wahhabis]]. Kashif al-Ghita' defended the city, its holy places and its people against their attack. He armed himself and other scholars and students and people, and they forced Wahhabis to retreat. He then ordered the building of a solid wall around Najaf to protect the city from attacks.
