The Author, the Scholar: Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahaab Al-Wasaabee focuses on the basic islamic aqeedah (matters of belief) that is obligatory upon every Muslim to know. The author begins by explaining La-Ilaha Illa-Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah (There is none worthy of Worship Except Allah and Muhammad is the final Messenger of Allah). Then the author subsequently explains the meanings of the basic, yet critical subjects that revolve around it - from Islam, Tawheed, Shirk, Bidah, Eemaan, Hypocrisy, Disbelief, Worship, Fear, Love and many others.
Moreover, the author does this in a simplistic fashion; he speaks to the non-Muslim who's interested in Islam, just as he speaks to the learned scholar. Thus, due to the simplicity of this book, wal hamdillah, scholars throughout the world, including Sheikh Muqbil al-Waada'ee, Sheikh Ahmed al-Najmi, Sheikh Al-Amranee, and many other scholars have recommended, forwarded and taught this book to their students as a stepping stone to studying Islam.
