Sold OutAn explanation of Kitab At-Tauhid by Salih bin 'Abdul-'Aziz bin Muhammad bin Ibraheem Aali Shaikh
The order to live one’s life in accordance to the dictates of Tawḥīd, monotheism, is the single most important injunction laid down by the revealed law, it formed the core of the call of all Prophets and was the essential message of all revealed scripture. To worship Allāh based on Tawḥīd is the purpose of human existence, and it is through this worship that man achieves a sense of fulfilment and contentment; in the words of one of the scholars, ‘he enters a paradise in this world before entering the Paradise of the next.’
This book, apportioned in sixty-seven chapters, deals with many aspects of Tawḥīd, all of them essential learning for every Muslim. Its focal topic revolves around issues of ulūhiyyah, divinity and ibādah, worship, with some chapters dealing with al-Asmā wa’ l-Ṣifāt, the Names and Attributes of Allāh. Its simple language, well-ordered structure, and heavy reliance on Qur’ānic verses and ḥadīth of the Prophet lends it to easy reading and its importance cannot be underestimated.
