The correct Aqidah (creed) forms the very foundation of Islam and the cornerstone of the Muslim community. According to the clear guidance from the Qur’an and Sunnah, a person's actions and words are only valid and accepted by Allah when they stem from a sound Aqidah. If the Aqidah is flawed, then the resulting deeds and statements are invalid.
The Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah succinctly outline the core of correct Aqidah, which consists of belief in six essential elements: Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and Divine Predestination—both its good and its bad. These six principles constitute the fundamental creed revealed by Allah and taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The correct ʿAqīdah is the very foundation of Islam and the cornerstone of the Muslim Ummah. The evidences of the Sharīʿah, found in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, make it clear that a person’s actions and statements are only valid and acceptable to Allah when they stem from a sound ʿAqīdah. If the ʿAqīdah is corrupt, then any actions or words that arise from it are rendered invalid.
The Qur’an, the clear Book of Allah, and the authentic Sunnah of His truthful Messenger ﷺ, affirm that the essence of correct ʿAqīdah is summarized in six pillars of faith:
Belief in Allah
Belief in His Angels
Belief in His Books
Belief in His Messengers
Belief in the Last Day
Belief in Divine Decree (al-Qadr), both the good and the bad of it
These six principles form the fundamentals of true ʿAqīdah, upon which Allah revealed His Book and sent His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ.

This book originated as a response to a question from a man struck by a severe calamity, who found himself in a state of dire need. He realised that if he did not rid himself of this affliction, it would ruin him in both this life and the Hereafter. Despite his efforts to free himself from it, the trial only grew in severity and intensity.
Ibn al-Qayyim, with deep insight, diagnosed his condition and understood the plea hidden within the question. He then offered a detailed and fitting answer—one that has proven relevant and beneficial across all times and places.
The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “When you indulge in al-‘inah (interest) transactions and take hold of the tails of cows and become satisfied with cultivation and abandon striving in His Way, then Allah shall permit your humiliation and He will not lift it from you, until you return back to your religion.” Abu Dawud # 3455
He (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: “The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish.” Someone asked: “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied: “No, you will be numerous at that time; but you will be like the scum carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and place wahn into your hearts.” Someone asked: “O Messenger of Allah, what is wahn?” He replied: “Love of the world and hatred for death.” Abu Dawud # 4297
It is abundantly clear that the Muslims have been afflicted with great trials, their unity has been shattered, their strength has been exhausted and their ranks scattered. Today we are living in an age when the Muslims have reached a limit worse than which, no Muslim who believes in Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) could reach and it is one of humiliation and subjugation by others. Due to this and the sense of that humiliation which sadly reigns over all Muslim countries regardless of class or station we continually ask ourselves in our private and public gatherings and counsels: What is the cause that has led the Muslims to this lowly and despicable state and this humiliating and shameful condition? And what is the underlying reason for their arrival at this low level of debasement and wretchedness?
The Sheikh may Allah have mercy on him, discuss some of the important issues that caused the downfall of Muslims and its solutions in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah. This book before you is very unique and contains very beneficial knowledge that will aid the Muslims in realising the problems within the Ummah and the need to return back to which will bring about success in this life and the next. It contains two treaties of the Sheikh dealing with this important subject that is often over looked.
Allah, the Most High has said: “This nation is the best raised for mankind. It enjoins good and forbids evil” (3:110) O Muslims realise your protentional, return to the truth, return to the Book and the Sunnah, and Allah will give you strength and honour!

This book is a compilation of four books which deal with the lives and works of the four imams who founded the four great canonical schools of thought of Islamic fiqh. The book was originally written in Arabic by the great Egyptian scholar and theologian Muhammad Abu Zahra and is presented in English for the first time.
In this book, there is a comprehensive, in depth analysis of the four Sunni madhabs and their founders, giving details of their biography and the methods they used in reaching their legal conclusions. This is particularly important in the world today when many thousands of Muslims find themselves in a situation where there is not enough knowledge and therefore, no traditional allegiance to a particular madhab. As a result of this ignorance, there is also a great deal of futile disagreements amongst the Muslims.
This work therefore has been long overdue in the English language and will be a milestone in bridging the gap amongst the Muslims and uniting them. It makes a stimulating and enriching read for all who are interested in deepening their knowledge of Islam.
The Fundamentals of Tawheed covers the very basis of the religion of Islam, the belief in the oneness of Allah. This text is unique in that it covers many of the essential points of belief that every Muslim should be aware of.
The author has also dealt with some of the obnoxious practices and superstitions that the ‘Muslims’ of today have fallen into such as fortune-telling, grave worship and good luck charms. The uniqueness of this work lies not only in its thorough treatment of the subject in a fluid and uncomplicated style but also in its modern presentation of classical theological issues.
