Books on the Principles and Foundations of the People of the Sunnah and the Community

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, we hope you will guide us to books containing the principles and foundations of the people of the Sunnah and the community, and advise us to read them.

Answer:
Yes, as we mentioned, the abridgments are taught in schools, institutes, and colleges, and the shaykhs in the mosques, especially the abridgments, explain them to the students. These abridgments are made easy to understand. For example, in creed: *Al-Usul al-Thalathah* (The Three Fundamental Principles), *Kashf al-Shubuhat* (Clarifying the Doubts), *Al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah* (The Middle Creed), *Kitab al-Tawhid* (The Book of Tawhid) by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, *Al-'Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah* (The Tahawi Creed) and its commentary. This is in creed. In jurisprudence: *Adab al-Mashy ila al-Salah* (Etiquette of Walking to Prayer), *Matn al-Dalil* (The Text of the Guide), *Matn al-Zad* (The Text of the Provisions), *Akhass al-Mukhtasarat* (The Most Concise of the Abridgments). These are abridgments. In grammar: *Al-Bayt al-Rumi* (The Roman Verse) or *Al-Malhamah* (The Poem), *Malhamat al-I'rab* (The Poem of Grammar). These are in grammar. In the principles of jurisprudence: *Al-Waraqat* (The Leaves), *Matn al-Waraqat* by al-Juwayni in the principles of jurisprudence. In the terminology of hadith: *Nukhbat al-Fikr* (The Essence of Thought) by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar in the terminology of hadith. These are abridgments that are available.
The books are available, but the matter lies with the teacher. If you find a competent teacher, then the books are accessible, praise be to Allah. Yes.
