Wahhabism; For Muslims who claim to bring a new interpretation to Islam; It is an important movement for the Ottomans in that the geography where it was born, developed and grew up was connected to the Ottoman Empire. It is also very important that it be examined by someone who witnessed the early period of the sect with its religious and scientific identity. Therefore, Trabzonlu Mehmet Efendi's work, which is the subject of our thesis, constitutes a good example of how Ottoman scholars reacted to this movement in the first place. In this respect, it is a sad situation that researchers, and especially those working on the history of sects, have remained unaware of this work, which Trabzonlu Mehmet Efendi wrote in line with his observations and scientific knowledge.
