Aqidat-ut-Tawhid - The Creed of Monotheism

“This book is about Tawhid: l have endeavoured to be concise therein, employing only simple language. I have compiled it from several sources amongst the books of our leading eminent scholars, particularly from the books of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, the books of Ibn Qayyim, the books of Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad’_Îâ’__bin Abdul-Wahhab and his students, amongst the notable scholars of this blessed call.

Undoubtedly, the knowledge of the creed of Tawhid is the fundamental knowledge, which deserves to be assiduously studied, taught, and acted upon, in order that acts of worship will be correct and acceptable to Allah and beneficial to those who perform them.

This is particularly important as we live in a time in which the trends of deviation have become numerous: trends of heresy, trends of Sufism (mysticism) and monasticism, the trends of grave worshipping and idolatry, and the trends of Bid’ah, which contradict the Prophetic guidance: these are grave and perilous trends. As long as a Muslim is not equipped with the correct doctrine based upon the Qur’an and Sunnah and the teachings of the pious predecessors, it is very likely that he would be swept away by these deviant trends…” [Taken from the introduction of Shaikh Salih Al-Fawzan]
