Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the difference between the book Tawhid by Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab and the book Tawhid by the Imam of Imams, Ibn Khuzaymah? And which is more comprehensive regarding the issues of 'aqidah?

Answer:
My brother, the book Tawhid by Ibn Khuzaymah is about the attributes, in affirming the attributes. The attributes are part of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and it does not deal with worship. It is specific to the attributes and refuting the Jahmiyyah, the Mu'tazilah, and the Asha'irah who denied them. He narrates them with authentic chains of narration back to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the book Tawhid by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, this is about tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship) and singling out Allah in worship. Yes.
