Today, Wahhabism has become one of the most dangerous currents within Islam. The main difference between this current and other currents of Islamic thought is in the way they look at the issue of tawhid, Unity. They divide Unity into three types, one of its most important types is that of Names and Attributes. The purpose of this article is to study the Wahhabi view of the unity of Names and Attributes. In this article, we will study and criticise their views using a descriptive-analytical method. According to the findings of this study, the Wahhabis accept everything attributed to God in the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah without any interpretation and accuse others of misguidance in this way. Most critics of the Wahhabi movement consider them to be of allegorical and corporeal view of God. In addition, by referring to the original texts of Wahhabism and analyzing their discourses, according to the basic principles and rules of epistemology, their theory can be shown to be irrational and contradictory to their own principles.
