Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 132 | Size: 1 MB
This book is a brief yet extremely beneficial explanation of Muhammad
ibn Abdal Wahab’s famous Kitab al Tawhid. The book, as the title
suggests, deals with the subject of worshipping Allah alone without
associating partners with Him. The author highlights many matters that
have become common among Muslims even though they are clearly acts of
shirk or associating partners with Allah. Not only is this book
distinguished due to the importance of the subject matter but also due
to the methodology adopted by the author for which he is well known. The
reader will find that the majority of the book consists of verses of
the Qur’an, ahadith of the Prophet (pbuh), and sayings of the early
Muslims.
The explanation presented at the end of
each chapter of Kitab al-Tawhid is that of the renowned scholars Allamah
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa’di, counted among the major scholars of recent
times. He was born in al-Qasim, Saudi Arabia, in the year 1307 AH, and
from a young age became engrossed in the attainment of knowledge. His
dedication and thirst for knowledge led him to become an authority in
many of the Islamic sciences as is evident from the books that he
authored. He passed away in the year 1376 AH, may Allah have mercy on
him.
