Albani is known as the most prominent contemporary Salafi scholar of hadith among Salafi currents, and his opinions attract the attention of Salafist academic societies. Although Albani`s Salafism has many commonalities and convergence with other Salafists in religious thinking and approach, it has differences and divergences with them in many ways. Based on this, in this article, the issue of convergence and divergence of the Albani`s scientific Salafist thought and approach with other Salafist currents has been investigated with the library research method. The findings of the research show that the scientific Albani`s Salafism converges with the Salafist currents in the main and identity-building axes of Salafism. In contrast, some of Albani's thoughts and opinions, such as opposition to Ibn Taymiyyah in some opinions, denial of a special scientific position for Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab, differences in religious and jurisprudential opinions, opposition to his takfirism and aversion to politics have caused differences and divergences with some Salafist currents. Keywords: Scientific Salafism, Wahhabism, Albani, Ibn Taymiyyah, Saudi Arabia, Jihad, Politics.
