Description
This is the book The Four Principles, which Shaikh Al-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdil-Wahhab has written. Though it is a short treatise, it emulates The Three Fundamental Principles from the point of view that it is necessary for the students of knowledge to grasp it.
Shaikhul-Islam Muhammad Ibn Abdil-Wahhab lays out four clear and comprehensive principles regarding Islamic Monotheism, and the explainer; Shaikh Al-Fawzan, elaborates upon them in order to facilitate their easy understanding. Once these four principles are understood, a person may be able to continue upon the path of seeking knowledge of Tawheed — the core foundation of our religion upon which all other actions are built.
The scholars of the past and present are unwavering in their commitment to teach Tawhīd with its correct understanding and importance, and in warning from Shirk and its dangers — since without Tawheed, all the other actions and beliefs that a person may have are rendered deficient. As Shaikh Al-Fawzan mentions in the first chapter of this book: “This is a very important matter — rather knowledge of it is more obligatory for you than knowledge of the rulings of Salāh, Zakāh, the other forms of worship and the rest of the matters of the religion, due to the fact that it is the foremost matter and the foundation.
