In this book, we present the classical treatise on Creed of Imaam Ibn
Qudaamah Al-Maqdisee, rahimahullaah, known as Lum’at-ul-’Itiqaad, which
is studied all over the Muslim world. Imaam Muhammad bin Saalih
Al-’Uthaimeen, rahimahullaah, has provided an in depth explanation for
the points touched on by the author in a clear and simple manner.
Furthermore, the narrations mentioned in the book have been verified and
lengthy and extensive footnotes have been provided to make this book a
valuable source of reference.
Shaikh Muhammad bin Saalih Al-’Uthaimeen
said in his introduction to this book: ‘This is a brief commentary of
the book ‘Lum’at-ul-‘Itiqaad”, written by Abu Muhammad ‘Abdullaah bin
Ahmad Ibn Qudaamah Al-Maqdisee (rahimahullaah), who was born in
Sha’baan in 541H in a village from the districts of Nablis (present-day
Palestine) and who died on the day of ‘Eed-ul-Fitr in 620H.
In this book, the author (rahimahullaah)
gathered together the main points of the Islaamic Creed (‘Aqeedah). For
this reason, the Board of the Educational Institutes assigned this book
to be studied and taught during the second semester of the first year
of study, so that it may serve as a pillar upon which one can establish
his Creed at this stage.
Because I saw the importance of this book
in terms of the topics it touches upon, its methodology and the lack
of there being any explanation for it, I became determined, while
seeking assistance from Allaah and hoping that He grant me correctness
in intention and action, to put forth some words on it, in the attempt
to clarify its ambiguous parts, explain its meanings and bring to light
its main points.’
No doubt this book is of great importance
for the Muslim with regard to establishing the correct Creed. This
book is deserving of being taught and studied so that it may serve as a
foundation for both the students of knowledge and the common Muslims.
The topics touched upon by the author relate to the authentic Creed and
Methodology, which all Muslims are obligated ot have knowledge of.
Consequently, we encourage everyone to purchase a copy of this
magnificent book.
